Serial Device Servers

NetCom series is an industrial-strength network-based serial communication device server for connecting RS232/422/485 devices like CNC, PLC, weighting scale, scanner and other devices directly to the 10/100Mbps NIC Ethernet network running TCP/IP.
In addition to allowing serial RS232/422 communication devices to get NIC Ethernet 10BaseT/100BaseTx networked, any host (PC Server or Workstation) without network access can also access remote serial communication device via adding NetCom devices to the existing serial communication port. NetCom can be configured over Driver Panels, WEB Browser, serial Port, Telnet, SNMP and serve as a transparent serial channel without platform and distance limitation.

Operating Modes

Driver mode:	VScom Driver for Win XP, Win2000 Creates virtual Com port
TCP Raw Server:	Raw data transfer over TCP/IP. Waits for incoming connections.
TCP Raw Client:	Raw data transfer over TCP/IP. Connects to a host or device waiting for incoming connections
TCP Advanced Settings:	Special settings for user-defined modes
UDP Mode:	Raw data transfer UDP. The NetCom is client and server at the same time. With the timeout functionality and a configurable trigger string it can make defined UDP packets of incoming data.
Null Modem Tunnel:	Connecting two NetCom used as virtual null modem cable

	NetComm 113 can control RS232/422/485 devices located virtually anywhere (via NIC Ethernet or Internet)
	NetComm 211, 411 & 811 can control 2/4 or 8 RS232 devices located virtually anywhere (via NIC Ethernet or Internet)
	NetComm 413 & 813 can control 4 or 8 RS232/422/485 devices located virtually anywhere (via NIC Ethernet or Internet)
	Lan interface10BaseT/100BaseTx NIC Ethernet

	Driver automatically finds NetCom devices in the network
	Configuration over Driver Panels, serial Port, Telnet, WEB Browser, SNMP
	Automatic mode switching between Driver and RAW mode
	Support TCP/IP, Telnet, DHCP, ICMP, HTTP, SNMP, DNS
	supports ART (Automatic Receive Transmit control)
	RS232/422/485 communication interface selectable by Switches
	Configuration utility automaticly finds NetCom devices in the network
	Automatic mode switching between Driver and TCP RAW mode. With TCP Advanced settings it is possible to configure the NetCom for using it in multiple modes, so it decides automaticly which mode should be used.
	Configuration over Driver Panels, NetCom Manager, WEB Browser, serial console, Telnet, SNMP
	Domain Name Server support
	Serial Interface configurable with external switch
	Special precautions for Firewall environments
	Firmware update over WEB Browser, Telnet, ComPort
	LEDs for Power, Tx, Rx, LAN Link, LAN Speed
	3 year warranty

Applications

	Industrial / Factory / Laboratory automation
	SCADA system
	Automatic warehouse control system
	Building automation system
	Wafer fabrication system
	Self-service banking system
	Retail system
	Other remote and distributed serial communication devices control
