ICP DAS tDS-724i and tDS-734i tiny device servers

Click2Contact

ICP DAS’s tDS-724i and tDS-734i tiny device servers feature PoE, one isolated RS485 and one or two isolated RS232 ports.

The serial-to-Ethernet device servers are designed to add Ethernet and internet connectivity to any RS232/485 device, and to eliminate the cable length limitation of legacy serial communication. They can be easily used for remote controlling of the user’s serial devices through an Ethernet network.

The VxComm Driver/Utility supports both 32- and 64-bit Windows 10/8/7/2008/2003/XP. The utility provides an easy configuration interface that can be used to quickly create and map virtual COM ports to one or several tDS-700 series modules. In addition, the utility contains a built-in terminal program, so users can send/receive command/data via the terminal program for basic testing.

By using the VxComm Driver/Utility, the product’s built-in COM port can be virtualised to a standard PC COM port in Windows. Most serial devices don’t have network ports; the tDS-724i/734i enables those devices to be connected to the network. Therefore, users can transparently access or monitor serial devices over the internet/Ethernet without software modification.

The product includes 3000 VDC isolation and a ±4 kV ESD protection component that diverts the potentially damaging charge away from sensitive circuits to protect the modules and equipment from the sudden and momentary electric current. It supports TCP, UDP, HTTP, DHCP, BOOTP and TFTP protocols, as well as UDP Responder for device discovery.

Other features include: 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet with an RJ45 port; a 32-bit MCU that efficiently handles network traffic; a tiny form factor and low power consumption; and a watchdog timer suitable for use in harsh environments.
