Ethernet Enable Your Serial Devices
The Vlinx™ family of Ethernet Serial Servers transparently connects,
configures, and communicates with serial devices over Ethernet using a
single IP address. Available in 1, 2 and 4 port versions. Each model uses
DB9 male serial connectors and supports RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485.
Desktop, panel and DIN-mountable — Vlinx offers outstanding flexibility
and value for industrial and commercial applications.
Operation Modes
- Virtual COM port
- TCP/IP socket and tunneling
- UDP/IP communications
Heartbeat ensures reliable communications
In case of a power failure or loss of the Ethernet connection, the Vlinx Serial
Server automatically reconnects the TCP data connection.
Intuitive management software
Vlinx software allows simple access to the Serial Server menu settings.
Telnet and Console mode may also be used to configure the server.
Once Vlinx is connected to the LAN, just open the B&B management
software and it will instantly search the LAN and display the Serial
Servers found.
