Product Overview

ETOS-XP (Ethernet To Serial Gateway) is an Industrial Network Server that enables data
communication between various industrial devices using Ethernet and Serial. It can effectively
integrate various devices in industrial fields through media conversion and protocol conversion
functions. The connection types include 'Ethernet and serial', 'serial and serial' and
'Ethernet and Ethernet'.

Main Features

ETOS-XP Series has the following communication functions.
 Ethernet Communication Function (Supports ETOS-100XP: 10/100Base-T(X),
ETOS-150XP/500XP: 10/100/1000Base-T(X) or 1000Base-X)

Supports TCP/IP, UDP/IP, DHCP

Built-in dedicated Ethernet protocol (MODBUS, GLOFA/XGT ENET, MELSEC-Q/A etc.)

User defined protocol edit function for proprietary protocol.
 Universal serial communication function (RS-232/RS-422/RS-485)

Built-in serial protocol function (MODBUS RTU/ASCII, GLOFA/XGT CNET 등)

User defined protocol edit function for proprietary protocol
 SECS communication function

Supports SECS-I, SECS-II, and HSMS for semiconductor equipment
Besides the communication function, it has the following functions and features:

Supplies user memory for communication data storage and conversion

Communication frame monitor, memory Monitor, and variable monitor function

Program function for protocol conversion among heterogeneous equipment

Error check function for various frames (Checksum / CRC / LRC etc.)

Data type conversion function and swap function

Ethernet / CPU / Power redundancy
Users can combine one or more communication functions to integrate heterogeneous devices using
different media and protocols. Serial and Ethernet built-in protocols enable users to
communicate with devices that use the pertinent protocol only with simple system settings.
Devices using proprietary protocols of equipment manufacturers other than the open protocols
are also supported by the ETOS-XP series's powerful custom protocol.
In addition, the ETOS-XP series provides protocol editing functions as well as flexible
programming languages for the sake of exchanging data between heterogeneous protocols
The ETOS-XP series provides users with the functions of parameter setting, frame and process
editing. It enables the users to build various integrated communication systems required by
the users.
For this system setting and programming, a windows software called ETOS-RD (XP Series Protocol
Designer) is provided. Please refer to the ETOS-RD User manual for details on functions and
usage of ETOS-RD.
