Description
The Serial to Fiber Converter is an industrial serial port to fiber converting device developed by BAUDCOM. It realizes transparent transmission between one channel RS232/RS485/RS422 data and fiber. The RS232 to Fiber Converter use single-mode single-fiber to transmit data, one fiber transmission can save fiber optic cable cost in long distance transmission. The power supply input can be plug or 2 line terminal, supporting 9~24V wide range input voltage. The serial fiber converter has RS232/485/422 three-in-one serial port, RS232 is common interface DB9, RS485/422 is terminal type, easy to install.
The Serial to Fiber Converter can be used as point to point application. It can also directly connect to fiber optical switch, directly participate in the transmission and exchange of network-layer data. RS232 to Fiber Converter is the first type of full duplex, continuous, and low cost serial server in industry. It support simultaneously converting between Ethernet &Serial with large bulk of data with no pause, and also no data is lost.
How to extend serial RS485 transmission distance?
Serial to Fiber Converter Features:
- The fiber interface use SC pluggable interface, easy for user installing.
- Serial port provide RS232, RS485 and RS422 three type interface.
- Support full duplex, high speed converting, and no packet lost.
- Support TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP mode, and if communicating with VirCom, it automatically change to Real Com Driver Mode.
- RS232 to Fiber Converter Supports band rate 1200~115200bps, data size 5~9bits, parity of None, Odd, Even, Mark, Space. Support CTS/RTS hardware flow control.
- Embedded 485/422 lightning protection function, suitable for outdoor 485/422 communication.
- Equipped freely with our Windows Virtual Serial & Device Management Tool VirCom. It supports virtual serial and searching device or modifying parameters with Vircom.
- RS485 to Fiber Converter Provides device management library (Window DLL library). It will help user to develop program with VC, VB, Delphi, C++ Builder. User need only use read or write function to communicate with serial to fiber converter.
- The innovative disconnecting detecting method. Whether it running in TCP Server mode or TCP Client mode can automatically establish connection after network broken, to ensure the data real-time reaching.
- Suitable for Modbus network upgrading, support directly converting Modbus TCP to Modbus RTU.
- With build-in Web server, its parameters can be modified by web browser.
- Support DHCP, easy for IP management and solve IP confliction.
- RS485 to Fiber Converter Supports DNS. It fulfills the need of access data server through domain name.
- Support up to 100 TCP connections communicate with network module meanwhile.
- Flexible serial data framing setting. It fulfills all kinds of serial data frame requirement.
- UDP mode support dynamic destination address mode. It helps for multi-user mange one serial server.
- Real Com Driver mode support using the 9-th bit to facilitate communication with milt-device. (the 9-th bit being 0 means data frame and 1 means address frame).
- Serial to fiber converter Supports searching serial servers and modifying parameters through Internet remotely
- Support parameter modifying protection, preventing modifying by accident. Support running with default parameters.
- High protection of electromagnetic interference, with its high electromagnetic interference protection SECC external shell.
