Using the ABLELink Serial Server with an OCS

From Horner APG
 

 

This application note shows how to get CscapeTM to talk to an OCS without an Ethernet Port via Ethernet. Figure 1 shows the ABLELink GW21R Dual Port Industrial Serial Server and the GW21E Single Port Serial Server that this application note refers to. The ABLELink allows a serial device such as an OCS or MiniOCS to be placed on a new or existing Ethernet LAN (Local Area Network) and another device (such as a PC using serial software) to talk to it over the Ethernet network. On the OCS side the ABLELink hardware is used to connect to Ethernet. On the PC side VirtualCOM serial server software is used to map an unused Comm Port on the PC to an IP address and port number as shown in Figure 2.
