20. BCOM-USB Device Guide
20.1. BCOM-USB Overview
BCOM-USB is a 2-channel, serial RS-232 device that connects to a PC through a USB port.
This device is intended to be used with the ASE2000 Communication Test Set and replace
the BCOM-PCMCIA board which, due to the eventual obsolescence of the PCMCIA/CardBus
interface on PCs may not be usable on newer PCs. In addition to handling the traditional byte
oriented protocols such as DNP3, Modbus, IEC 870-5-101, etc. the BCOM-USB will also handle
bit-oriented protocols such as Conitel 2020, CDC Type I and II, as well as SDLC/HDLC protocols.
Please see the ASE web site at http://www.ase-systems.com/DNP-3-protocol/DNP-3.asp for a
complete list of supported protocols.
