The "Serial-to-Ethernet-Connector" enables the use of serial interfaces on ELZET80's Ethernet hardware as if they were the integrated interfaces of a Windows computer. The remote coupling over Ethernet is also suitable for many RS485 protocols.
ethernode® and other Ethernet hardware of ELZET80 contain a self-starting driver task "ETH-SER" that communicates with the program "Serial-to-Ethernet-Connector- SEC" on a Windows computer.
With SEC you can install additional COM ports on a Windows computer that do not access the hardware of the computer but access the serial interfaces on ethernode over Ethernet. Up to 255 virtual comports can be installed simultaneously, split onto any number of ETH-SER or TSM-ARMCPUs. The Windows driver supports operating systems up from Windows®2000.
