  • Page 5: Introduction

    Tiny Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server 1. Introduction The tDS-700 is a series of Serial-to-Ethernet device servers that are designed to add Ethernet and Internet connectivity to any RS-232 and RS-422/485 device, and to eliminate the cable length limitation of legacy serial communications. By using the VxComm Driver/Utility, the built-in COM Port of the tDS-700 series can be virtualized to a standard PC COM Port in Windows.
  • Page 6 Tiny Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server In harsh industrial environments, the tDS-700 series (for i version) also adds 2500 V and +/- 4 kV ESD protection component that diverts the potentially damaging charge away from sensitive circuit to protects the module and equipment from the sudden and momentary electric current. To achieve maximum space savings, the tDS-700 is offered in an amazingly small form-factor that enables it to be easily installed anywhere, even directly attached to a serial device or embedded into a machine.

  • Page 7: Ethernet Solutions

    Tiny Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server 1.1 Ethernet Solutions Nowadays, the Ethernet protocol has become the foremost standard for local area networks. Connectivity via the Internet is now common in many of the latest applications from home appliances, to vending machines, to testing equipment, to UPS, etc. An Ethernet network can link office automation and industrial control networks, access remote systems and share data and information between machines from multiple vendors, and also provides a cost-effective solution for industrial control networks.

  • Page 8: Vxcomm Technology

    Tiny Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server 1.2 VxComm Technology In general, writing a TCP/IP program is more difficult than writing a COM Port program. Another issue is that perhaps the existing the COM Port communication system was built many years ago and is now outdated. As a result, a new technology, VxComm was developed to virtualize the COM Ports of the tDS-700 to allow up to 256 COM Ports to be used on a central computer.
  • Page 9 Tiny Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server The VxComm driver controls all the details of the Ethernet TCP/IP programming technique, meaning that, with the assistance of tDS-700 and VxComm technology, your COM Port program will be able to access your serial devices through the Ethernet in the same way as through a COM Port.
