In the project of remote or on-site production, due mainly to use every kind of devices are connected in series, and a serial connection in the distance and the network is limited, this raises a fairly complex challenge. Because we all know that the RS232 serial line generally only about 20m transmission, and in some field location is not conducive to wiring, which brings difficulty to the engineering staff.
With the development of new technology, will any number or type of serial devices connected to the Ethernet has become much more convenient and cheap. People use the serial Ethernet server connection establishment, management communication, and data transmission in the world.
The main advantage of using a serial server:
1 upgrade access – remote connection serial device
Cost savings of 2, without changing the existing software and serial communication equipment
The 3 seamless communications - serial to Ethernet connection to the equipment and software is transparent
4 make full use of the existing equipment - starting COM port Ethernet
5 protection function of the original network - the serial network into one or more LAN subnet
6 save manpower - accessible remote serial devices
7 save time - through Ethernet serial device software can be updated quickly and easily
