1. Introduction
The SE5001 Ethernet Serial Server is a gateway between Ethernet (TCP/IP) and RS-232 or
RS-485/RS-422 communications. The information transmitted by SE5001
is transparent to both host
computers (Ethernet) and devices (RS-232 or RS-485/RS-422). Data coming from the Ethernet (TCP/IP)
is sent to the designated RS-232 or RS-485/RS-422 port and data being received from RS-232 or
RS-485/RS-422 port is sent to the Ethernet (TCP/IP) transparently.
In the computer integration manufacturing or industrial automation area, the SE5001 Ethernet Serial
Server is used for field devices to direct connect to Ethernet network. Terminal Server (main control
program run in SE5001) transforms whatever data received from RS-232 or RS-485/RS-422 to TCP/UDP
port then connect devices to the Ethernet network via a single application program or multiple application
programs.
Many control devices provide the ability to communicate with hosts through RS-232 or RS-485/RS-422
however RS-232 or RS-485/RS-422 serial communication has its limitations. For one, it is hard to transfer
data through a long distance. With SE5001, it is possible to communicate with a remote device in the
Intranet environment or even in the Internet and thus, increases the communication distance dramatically.
SE5001 offers one RS-232 or RS-485/RS-422 port, one RJ45 Ethernet and Watch-Dog Timer etc.
