ICP DAS tDS-724i and tDS-734i tiny device servers

The ICP DAS tDS-724i and tDS-734i tiny device servers with PoE offer an isolated RS485 and either one or two isolated RS232 ports.

The tDS-724i/734i serial-to-ethernet device servers are designed to add Ethernet and internet connectivity to any RS232/485 device, and to eliminate the cable length limitation of legacy serial communication.

The VxComm Driver/Utility supports the most popular operating system, including 32- and 64-bit Windows 10/8/7/2008/2003/XP. The utility provides an easy configuration interface that can be used to quickly create and map virtual COM ports to one or several tDS-700 series modules. In addition, the utility contains a built-in terminal program, so users can send and receive commands and data via the terminal program for basic testing.

By using the VxComm Driver/Utility, the built-in COM port of the tDS-724i/734i can be virtualised to a standard PC COM port in Windows. Users can transparently access or monitor serial devices over the internet or locally via Ethernet without software modification.

These devices also offer 3000 VDC isolation and a ±4 kV ESD protection component that diverts the potentially damaging charge away from sensitive circuits to protect the modules and equipment.
