Compared to the RS-485 network, these Ethernet network hubs are already in existence for system network. Therefore, the RS-232 devices can find the closest hub and link to the central computer with the help of the I-7540D. The Ethernet network is extremely popular and already existing for most applications, hence, this approach is a very successful.

5. VxComm Applications Overview Installing the VxComm Driver Adding a I-7540D and configuring the VxComm Driver Removing a I-7540D Uninstalling the VxComm Driver Overview VxComm (Virtual Comm) Driver VxComm Utility are very easy to install and use. The first thing to do is to find the installation file in the web site.
VxComm Driver creates COM port(s) and maps them to the COM port(s) of the I-7540D. The user's RS-232 client programs need only to change to the different COM port to access the serial devices that are allocated to the Internet or Ethernet network via the I-7540D.
Ports mapping Vxcomm Driver/Utility supports Port 1 to Port 3 in accessing COM1 to COM3 of the I-7540D. Another Port I/O is designed to access the I/O boards mounted on I-7540D, but it doesn’t use now. With the help of the...
