    The document describes various applications for the tDS-700 serial device server. It discusses using the tDS-700 to create virtual COM ports over Ethernet, direct TCP socket connections to serial ports, serial port pair connections to link devices over Ethernet, and creating virtual RS-485 networks by pairing multiple tDS-700 devices over Ethernet. Configuration is done through a web interface or VxComm utility to map ports and set communication parameters.

    tDS-725 PLC
    Meter
    Note:
    1. In the virtual COM application, the command or data is being copied between the
    PC and tDS-700 module with no protocol convert. This allows most of the serial
    protocols can be used with the virtual COM.
    2. The max. COM port number in a PC is up to COM256.
    3. The COM port is configured and mapped by using the VxComm Utility.
    4. For Modbus/TCP to Modbus RTU/ASCII gateway, please refer tGW-700 models.

    Note:
    1. The serial ports of the tDS-700 can be also accessed via TCP socket connections.
    TCP port 10001 = COM1, TCP port 10002 = COM2, TCP port 10003 = COM3.
    2. Users have to configure the baud rate and data format via web configuration first,
    else the serial ports may send garbage data.

    P.4
    Serial Port Pair-connection Basis

    Virtual RS-485 bus through the pair-connection.

    Port 1(RS-485) Port 1(RS-485)

    Serial Port Pair-connection


    PLC 1
    uses 115200 bps
    Through the Ethernet PLC 2
    uses 115200 bps

    tDS-715 tDS-715
    uses 115200 bps uses 115200 bps

    Note:
    1. PLC 1 and PLC 2 can communicate with each other via the RS-485 port that
    has pair-connection link through the Ethernet.

    P.5
    Pair-connection with Different Baud Rate

    Virtual RS-485 bus through the pair-connection.

    Port 1(RS-485) Port 1(RS-485)

    Serial Port Pair-connection


    PLC 1 uses Through the Ethernet

    PLC 2 uses
    115200 bps
    tDS-725 uses tDS-715 uses
    9600 bps 115200 bps

    Note:
    1. PLC 1 and PLC 2 can use different baud rate and different data format at the same time
    when using pair-connection. But please make sure that the tDS-700 has the same setting
    as local serial devices.
    2. The pair-connection can be created by using same or different tDS-700 models.
    The pair-connection is working as port-to-port.

    Note: When connecting several tDS-700 (RS-485 master) in RS-485 network, you
    should remove the pull-high/low resister on the RS-485 port in most of the tDS-700
    modules, and make sure there is only one master in the RS-485 network.
