  • Page 27: Choosing The Proper Operation Mode

    Choosing the Proper Operation Mode Chapter 4 In this chapter, we describe the various NPort 5600 operation modes. The options include an operation mode that uses a driver installed on the host computer, and operation modes that rely on TCP/IP socket programming concepts. After choosing the proper operation mode in this chapter, refer to Chapter 5 for detailed configuration parameter definitions.

  • Page 28: Overview

    NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Choosing the proper Operation Mode Overview NPort Device Servers network-enable traditional RS-232/422/485 devices, in which a Device Server is a tiny computer equipped with a CPU, real-time OS, and TCP/IP protocols that can bi-directionally translate data between the serial and Ethernet formats. Your computer can access, manage, and configure remote facilities and equipment over the Internet from anywhere in the world.

  • Page 29: Tcp Server Mode

    NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Choosing the proper Operation Mode The important point is that Real COM Mode allows users to continue using RS-232/422/485 serial communications software that was written for pure serial communications applications. The driver intercepts data sent to the host’s COM port, packs it into a TCP/IP packet, and then redirects it through the host’s Ethernet card.

  • Page 30: Tcp Client Mode

    NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Choosing the proper Operation Mode TCP Client Mode In TCP Client mode, NPort can actively establish TCP Client Mode a TCP connection to a pre-defined host computer when serial data arrives. After the data has been transferred, NPort can automatically disconnect from the host computer by using the TCP alive check time or Inactivity time settings.

  • Page 52 NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration ATTENTION The Inactivity time should at least be set larger than that of Force transmit timeout. To prevent the unintended loss of data due to the session being disconnected, it is highly recommended that this value is set large enough so that the intended data transfer is completed.
  • Page 53 NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Delimiter 2 Setting Factory Default Necessity 00 to FF None Optional Once the NPort receives both delimiters through its serial port, it immediately packs all data currently in its buffer and sends it to the NPort’s Ethernet port. ATTENTION Delimiter 2 is optional.
  • Page 54 NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Therefore, you should set Force transmit timeout to be larger than 8.3 ms, so in this case, it must be greater than or equal to 10 ms. If the user wants to send the series of characters in the same packet, the serial device attached to NPort should send that series of characters during a time interval less than the Force Transmit timeout for NPort, and the total length of data must be less than or equal to NPort’s internal buffer size.
  • Page 55 NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Connect/Disconnect Description Startup/None A TCP connection will be established on startup, and will remain (default) active indefinitely.
