4. Overview Serial/Ethernet Converter functions
RealCOM mode
TCP-Server mode
TCP-Client mode
Pair Connection mode
UDP mode
COM grouping
COM Grouping function is designed to simulate the serial RS-485 multi-drop behavior over an Ethernet network
Introduction to Weidmüller Serial/Ethernet Converter

5. S/E-Converter functions  RealCOM Mode
PC connection to serial devices over Ethernet
Communication with serial devices via Virtual COM port
Virtual COM port is set up via software drivers (Serial/Ethernet Converter Software "SE-Administration Tool")
Each virtual COM port is assigned an IP-address/ port number combination that points to a real Serial Ethernet Converter inside the network
PC application "thinks" that it communicates with an actual COM port
Sample application: Configuration and data retrieval of an intelligent smart meter with a serial interface

6. S/E-Converter functions  TCP-Server Mode
Serial/Ethernet Converter waits passively for host computer to establish a connection
Supports up to 8 simultaneous connections, allowing multiple hosts to collect data from the same serial device at the same time
PC application which actively retrieves the data (Mode TCP/IP-Client)

7. S/E-Converter functions  TCP-Client Mode
Serial/Ethernet Converter establishes a connection to a specified host computer
SE-Converter closes the connection after data has been transferred
Supports up to 4 simultaneous connections, allowing multiple hosts to collect data from the same serial device at the same time

8. S/E-Converter functions  Pair Connection Mode
Connecting two remote serial devices over an Ethernet network
Transparent data transfer for the serial devices
Allows communication between serial devices over long distances (only dependent from the Ethernet network, RS232 direct connection max. 15 m)
Very simple Web configuration (One device as Pair Connection master, the other device as Pair Connection slave)
Sample application: Showing the data of a sensor with a serial interface on a remote control display
