2.4 Usage ipEther232.Modem (Ethernet modem)
ipEther232.Modem enables you to use serial interfaces via a TCP/IP network.
This allows you to control devices without a network interface over long
distances. In addition to the serial interface, the Ethernet modem also has a
network interface. In order to connect two serial devices simply use two modems
linked via Ethernet instead of a serial cable.
Ø terminals
Ø CNC controllers
Ø counting devices
Such devices are: Ø embedded controllers
Ø industrial switches
Ø serial printers
Thus all applications and devices that support terminal or modem functionalities
can also be used via the Ethernet. This has numerous advantages:
• lower telephone costs
• reduce the number of analog connections (monthly fee)
• simplified logistics
• extremely low porting costs
• protects your investments by converting serial devices into network
devices without necessitating changes in the existing software, saving
additional product development costs
• sing solutions
