How to connect industrial serial port equipment to Ethernet?

1.realport-remote COM port Realport is a proprietary software, which can mislead the COMputer to regard it as a traditional com port, but in fact our software points the virtual com port to the IP address of the Digi device server in the network. Its advantage is that you can use almost any software application that can communicate with COM port, so that the application can communicate with serial port devices in the network as if the devices were locally connected.

Protocol Gateway-Industrial Protocol Converter When the equipment server (such as Digitone ia Realport) actually adopts serial protocol, the protocol gateway can convert it into different Ethernet protocols. This situation includes: a. Modbus RTU/ASCII serial port to Modbus PB. Allen-Bradley DF 1 serial to Allen-Bradley Ethernet C. Allen-Bradley DF 1 serial to EthernetIP protocol gateway can add serial devices to industrial Ethernet, just like local Ethernet devices.

When the TCP socket application is connected with Digi One, TCP socket can directly open the TCP session with Digi One. This happens when serial data is encapsulated in TCP packets and then sent to an application connected to a specific TCP address of Digitone. An example is using Kepware OPC server software. When configuring Kepware, you need to know the type of PLC (or other industrial equipment) it will connect to, and the IP address (and port number) it will start TCP socket connection.
