Overview Serial/Ethernet Converter functions
Converter functions

RealCOM mode

TCP-Server mode

TCP-Client mode

Pair Connection mode

UDP mode

COM grouping

COM Grouping function is designed to simulate the serial RS-485 multi-drop
behavior over an Ethernet network

S/E-Converter functions  RealCOM Mode
PC connection to serial devices over Ethernet

Communication with serial devices via Virtual COM port

Virtual COM port is set up via software drivers (Serial/Ethernet Converter
Software "SE-Administration Tool")

Each virtual COM port is assigned an IP-address/ port number combination
that points to a real Serial Ethernet Converter inside the network

PC application "thinks" that it communicates with an actual COM port
Sample application:
Configuration and data retrieval of an intelligent smart meter with a
serial interface

S/E-Converter functions  TCP-Server Mode
 Serial/Ethernet Converter waits passively for host computer to establish a connection
 Supports up to 8 simultaneous connections, allowing multiple hosts to collect data from the
same serial device at the same time

retrieves the data (Mode

S/E-Converter functions  TCP-Client Mode
 Serial/Ethernet Converter establishes a connection to a specified host computer
 SE-Converter closes the connection after data has been transferred
 Supports up to 4 simultaneous connections, allowing multiple hosts to collect data from the
same serial device at the same time

S/E-Converter functions  Pair Connection Mode
 Connecting two remote serial devices over an Ethernet network
 Transparent data transfer for the serial devices
 Allows communication between serial devices over long distances (only dependent from the
Ethernet network, RS232 direct connection max. 15 m)
 Very simple Web configuration (One device as Pair Connection master, the other device as
Pair Connection slave)
Sample application: Showing the data of a sensor with a serial interface on a
remote control display
