5.1 Virtual COM Application

The PDS-220Fx is designed to link RS-232/422/485 devices to an Ethernet network. The VxComm
utility allows the built-in PDS-220Fx COM Port to be virtualized to a standard COM Port of a host PC,
as shown below:
In the configuration above, Meter-1 is virtualized to link to COM3 of the host PC. Therefore, a
program originally designed for the MS-COMM standard can access the meter without the need for
any modification.
