Descriptions
Eddy works as a socket server, waiting for the client connection on the
network.
Socket number for awaiting connections can be set in Local socket
port field.
All data between the socket and the serial port is transferred untouched
after the socket connection is established.
TCP Client
Eddy acts as a socket client in this mode. It tries to connect to the server
IP address and the socket number assigned when a certain server waits
for connection on the network.
All data between the socket and the serial port is transferred untouched
after the socket connection is established.
TCP Broadcast
Eddy works as a server, accepting up to 5 simultaneous connections
from socket clients.
Data transmitted from Eddy is broadcast to each socket client.
TCP Multiplex
Eddy works as a server, accepting up to 5 simultaneous connections
from socket clients. The difference between TCP Broadcast and TCP
Multiplex is that Multiplex allows each socket to communicate
exclusively. That is, serial data in response are only transferred to the
sender socket.
UDP Server
Eddy works as a UDP server, waiting for UDP connection from the client
on the network.
Socket number for awaiting connections can be set in Local socket
port field.
Once a UDP packet is received to the socket that waits for the
connection, the data is transmitted to the serial port. The data input from
the serial port is put into UDP packets, which eventually are sent to the
client.
UDP Client
When the data is input to the serial port, UDP packets are sent using the
preset IP address and the socket number of the server.
Interface
RS422
Serial Port 1,2 hardwired to RS232 so that this category cannot be selected.
Serial Port 3, 4 can be used RS422 or RS485 (Echo, No Echo) by
selecting.
In Eddy-CPU, this can be selected by Dip Switch S8, S9 on Eddy-DK
board so that this category cannot be selected.
(option: RS422, RS485(Echo), RS485(No Echo))
