ICP DAS DS-2200i serial-to-ethernet device server

The ICP DAS DS-2200i is a serial-to-ethernet device server that is designed to add Ethernet and internet connectivity to any RS-232/422/485 device and to eliminate the cable length limitation of legacy serial communication.

By using the VxComm Driver/Utility, the built-in COM port of the DS-2200i can be virtualised to a standard PC COM port in Windows. Serial devices can be accessed or monitored transparently over an Ethernet network without software modification. With two ethernet ports, the DS-2200i allows daisy chain connection, which enables flexibility in locating devices for easy installation and lower infrastructure costs.

The DS-2200i also adds 3000 VDC isolation and ±4 kV ESD protection that diverts the potentially damaging charge away from a sensitive circuit.

The VxComm Driver/Utility supports both 32- and 64-bit Windows 10/8/7/2008/2003/XP. The virtual COM works transparently and is protocol independent.
