ICPDAS I-7188E3D

ICPDAS Serial Converter I-7188E3D is a bridge between the Ethernet and RS-232/422/485. After installing VxComm driver on the PC, users can create Virtual COM ports mapped to the COM ports of the 7188EN. The original software (based on COM port) can connect with remote RS-232/422/485 devices via the Ethernet without any modification. I-7188EN is the most cost effective method to combine your original serial device with Ethernet communication ability.

The I-7188EX, Embedded Internet/Ethernet Controller, focuses in Embedded Control applications while the I-7188EN, Internet Communication Controller, focuses in communication applications. According to different embedded firmware and application program, the Internet Communication Controller can be used as Device Server or Addressable Ethernet to RS-232/485/422 Converter or Embedded Internet/Ethernet Controller. The user should refer to comparison table to choose optimal product. Now we offer wide range Internet Communication Controllers, such as I-7188E1 / E2 /E3 /E4 / E5 / E8. Except the RTC circuitry, the basic hardware of I-7188EN is similar to I-7188EX. Since there are too many configurations for I-7188EN series product, OEM or ODM version is welcomed. Can be used as Addressable Ethernet to RS-232/485/422 Converter.

Most RS-232/485/422 devices don't support device address. The ICPDAS Serial Converter I-7188E3D can assign a unique address to any RS-232 device installed in the Ethernet network. Host-PC can send command with device address to Ethernet network, the destination I-7188EN will remove the address field & pass the other fields of command to its local RS-232 device. The response of this local RS-232 device will be passed to host-PC via this destination I-7188EN.

The ICPDAS Serial Converter I-7188E3D can be used as Ethernet to RS-232/485/422 Device Server. The Device Server is an appliance that network enables any device with a serial communication port. By virtue of its independent operating system, protocol independence, small size and flexibility, Device servers are able to meet the demand of virtually any network-enable application. Most devices don't have network ports. Our Internet Communication Controllers allow those devices to become connected to the network.

The hardware and software of i-7188EN is similar to i-7188EX, the i-7188EN also can be used as Embedded Internet/Ethernet Controller except the RTC (Real Time Clock). The user can use well-developed libraries and demo programs to implement an Embedded Internet/Ethernet Controller.
