Anybus Serial Server

 Ethernet Virtual COMport - RS-232/485 COMport

The Anybus Serial Server is an Ethernet Virtual COMport to RS232 and RS485 COM-port gateway. Together with a special software driver in a PC, it can be used as a remote serial port. PC applications designed to access data using normal serial COM-ports, can access the data through the remote Anybus serial server without any software modifications. The LAN/Internet network together with the serial server and driver can be viewed as a long "virtual" serial cable.

The software is enhanced with specific timing support for serial networks like ModbusRTU, DF1 and MPI. The gateway can be used for remote configuration of PLC:s such as Allen Bradley and Siemens S7 (with S7 using MPI to RS232 dongle).
