ATTENTION

1. Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your devices.

2. Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.

3. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.

4. Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.

5. Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring through the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.

6. You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring sharing similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together

7. You should separate input wiring from output wiring

8. It is advised to label the wiring to all devices in the system

WARNING

Do not disconnect modules or wires unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous. The devices may only be connected to the supply voltage shown on the type plate.

Description

Port Alias

Port alias enables the device server to easily identify the serial devices connected to it. Enter an identifying name to be identified by the connected device.

Baud rate

Baud rate is the rate at which data is transferred over a serial link. When setting the baud rate to 9600bps, the serial port will transfer a maximum of 9600 bits per second. You can select a baud rate from the drop-down list which ranges from 110bps to 460800bps

Parity

Parity is a simple form of error detection which guards data on the cable between the connected devices and the serial port. Available options include: None: parity checking is not performed and the parity bit is not transmitted. Odd: the number of mark bits in the data is counted, and the parity bit is asserted or unasserted to obtain an odd number of mark bits. Even: the number of mark bits in the data is counted, and the parity bit is asserted or unasserted to obtain an even number of

Page 20

RDS-3086/3166G User Manual

ORing Industrial Networking Corp

mark bits. Mark: the parity bit is always set to the mark signal condition (logical 1)

Space: the last transmitted data bit will always be a logical 0

Data Bits

Choose the number of data bits to transmit. You can configure data bits to be 5, 6, 7, or 8. Data is transmitted as a series of five, six, seven, or eight bits (five and six bit data formats are used rarely for specialized communications equipment).

Stop Bits

Choose the number of bits used to indicate the end of a byte. You can configure stop bits to be 1 or 2(1.5). If Stop Bits is 1.5, the stop bit is transferred for 150% of the normal time used to transfer one bit. Both the computer and the peripheral device must be configured to transmit the same number of stop bits.

Flow Control

Serial communication consists of hardware flow control and software flow control, so called as the control is handled by software or hardware. XOFF and OXN is software flow control while RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR is hardware flow control. Choose XOFF to tell the computer to stop sending data; then the receiving side will send an XOFF character over its Tx line to tell the transmitting side to stop transmitting. Choose XON to tell the computer to begin sending data again; then the receiving side will send an XON character over its Tx line to tell the transmitting side to resume transmitting. In hardware flow control mode, when the device is ready to receive data, it sends a CTS (Clear To Send) signal to the device on the other end. When a device has something it wants to send, it will send a RTS (Ready To Send) signal and waits for a CTS signal to come back its way. These signals are sent apart from the data itself on separate wires.

Interface

Choose an interface for your serial device. Available interfaces include RS-232, RS-422, RS-485(2-wires), and

RS-485(4-wires),

Performance

Throughput: guarantees highest transmission speed. Latency: guarantees shortest response time.

Stop Bits

Choose the number of bits used to indicate the end of a byte. You can configure stop bits to be 1 or 1.5(2). If Stop Bits is 1.5, the stop bit is transferred for 150% of the normal time used to transfer one bit. Both the computer and the peripheral device must be configured to transmit the same number of stop bits.

Parity

Chose the method of detecting errors in transmission. Parity control bit modes include None, Odd, Even, Mark, and Space. None: parity checking is not performed and the parity bit is not transmitted. None is the most common parity setting with error detection handled by a communication protocol. Odd: the last data bit transmitted will be a logical 1 if the data transmitted had an odd amount of 0 bits Even: the last data bit transmitted will be a logical 1 if the data transmitted had an even amount of 0 bits. Mark: the parity bit is always set to the mark signal condition (logical 1)

Space: the last transmitted data bit will always be a logical 0

Flow Control

Force TX Interval Time

This setting will specify the timeout when no data has been transmitted. When the timeout is reached or TX buffer is full (4K Bytes), the queued data will be sent. 0 means disable. Factory default value is 0.

4.2.2.2 Port Profile

Label

Description

Local TCP Port

Indicates the TCP port the device uses to listen to connections, and that other devices must use to contact the device. To avoid conflicts with well-known TCP ports, the default is set to 4000.

Command Port

Indicates the listen TCP port for IP-Serial Lib commands from the host. In order to prevent a TCP port conflict with other applications, the user can set the Command port to another port if needed.

Flush Data Buffer After

The received data will be queuing in the buffer until all the delimiters are matched. When the buffer is full (4K Bytes) or after “Flush Data Buffer After” times out the data will also be sent. You can set the time from 0 to 65535 seconds.

Delimiter

For advanced data packing options, you can specify delimiters for Serial to Ethernet and / or Ethernet to Serial communications. You can define max. 4 delimiters (00~FF, Hex) for each way. The data will be hold until the delimiters are received or the option Flush Serial to Ethernet data

buffer times out. 0 means disable. Factory default is 0.

4.2.2.3 Service Mode

Virtual COM Mode

Page 32

RDS-3086/3166G User Manual

ORing Industrial Networking Corp

In Virtual COM mode, the driver establishes a transparent connection between the host and the serial device by mapping the port of the serial server to a local COM port on the host computer. Virtual COM mode also supports up to 5 simultaneous connections, so that multiple hosts can send or receive data by the same serial device at the same time.

Label

Description

Data Encryption

Click Enable and the data will be encrypted with SSL.

Idle Timeout

When serial port stops data transmission for a defined period of time (Idle Timeout), the connection will be closed and the port will be freed and try to connect with other hosts. 0 indicate disable this function. Factory default value is 0. If Multilink is configured, only the first host connection is effective for this setting.

Alive Check

The serial device will send TCP alive-check package in each defined time interval (Alive Check) to remote host to check the TCP connection. If the TCP connection is not alive, the connection will be closed and the port will be freed. 0 indicate disable this function. Factory default is 0.

Max Connection

The number of maximum connections can be supported. The maximum value is 5, default values is 1.

*Not allowed to mapping Virtual COM from web

TCP Server Mode

In TCP Server mode, IMG is configured with a unique port combination on a TCP/IP network. In this case, IMG waits passively to be contacted by the device. After the device establishes a connection with the serial device, it can then proceed with data transmission. The TCP Server mode also supports up to 5 simultaneous connections, so that multiple device can receive data from the same serial device at the same time.
