Serial Port Profiles

Packet Definition

When enabled, this group of parameters allows you to set a variety of packet

 

definition options. The first criteria that is met causes the packet to be

 

transmitted. For example, if you set a Force Transmit Timer of 1000 ms and a

 

Packet Size of 100 bytes, whichever criteria is met first is what will cause the

 

packet to be transmitted.

 

Default: Enabled

Packet Size

The number of bytes that must be received from the serial port before the

 

packet is transmitted to the network. A value of zero (0) ignores this parameter.

 

Range: 0-1024 bytes

 

Default: 0

Idle Time

The amount of time, in milliseconds, that must elapse between characters

 

before the packet is transmitted to the network. A value of zero (0) ignores this

 

parameter.

 

Range: 0-65535 ms

 

Default: 0

Enable Trigger1

When enabled, specifies the character that when received will define when the

Character

packet is ready for transmission. The actual transmission of the packet is based

 

on the Trigger Forwarding Rule.

 

Range: Hex 0-FF

 

Default: 0

Enable Trigger2

When enabled, creates a sequence of characters that must be received to

Character

specify when the packet is ready for transmission (if the End Trigger1

 

character is not immediately followed by the End Trigger2 character, the

 

IOLAN waits for another End Trigger1 character to start the End Trigger1/End

 

Trigger2 character sequence). The actual transmission of the packet is based on

 

the Trigger Forwarding Rule.

 

Range: Hex 0-FF

 

Default: 0

Frame Definition

When enabled, this group of parameters allows you to control the frame that is

 

transmitted by defining the start and end of frame character(s). If the internal

 

buffer (1024 bytes) is full before the EOF character(s) are received, the packet

 

will be transmitted and the EOF character(s) search will continue.

 

Default: Disabled

SOF1 Character

When enabled, the Start of Frame character defines the first character of the

 

frame, any character(s) received before the Start of Frame character is ignored.

 

Range: Hex 0-FF

 

Default: 0

SOF2 Character

When enabled, creates a sequence of characters that must be received to create

 

the start of the frame (if the SOF1 character is not immediately followed by the

 

SOF2 character, the IOLAN waits for another SOF1 character to start the

 

SOF1/SOF2 character sequence).

 

Range: Hex 0-FF

 

Default: 0

Transmit SOF

When enabled, the SOF1 or SOF1/SOF2 characters will be transmitted with

Character(s)

the frame. If not enabled, the SOF1 or SOF1/SOF2 characters will be stripped

 

from the transmission.

 

Default: Disabled

DS1, TS2 specifications

Perle Systems TS2 and DS1 are advanced serial-to-Ethernet devices designed to facilitate seamless integration of serial devices with modern IP networks. These devices serve as crucial tools for businesses looking to enhance their communication capabilities while leveraging existing infrastructure.

One of the standout features of the Perle TS2 and DS1 is their ability to support multiple serial protocols including RS232, RS422, and RS485. This versatile support allows businesses to connect various legacy devices to their networks, ensuring that critical equipment can still communicate effectively in an increasingly digital landscape.

The TS2 model is particularly noted for its dual serial ports, enabling simultaneous communication with multiple devices. This capability is invaluable for applications requiring real-time data transmission, such as remote monitoring and automated control systems. The DS1 model, on the other hand, is designed for single-port use, making it an ideal solution for smaller-scale operations or specific single-device connections.

Both the TS2 and DS1 incorporate advanced features such as configuration through a web interface, which simplifies setup and management. Users can easily access device settings and monitor performance metrics remotely, enhancing operational efficiency. These devices also support various network protocols such as TCP/IP, UDP, and ICMP, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network architectures.

In terms of security, Perle Systems prioritize user data protection. The TS2 and DS1 offer features including SSL encryption and SSH protection, providing an added layer of security for sensitive information transmitted over the network. This is particularly important for industries where data integrity and security are paramount, such as healthcare and finance.

Additionally, the rugged design of both devices ensures reliable performance even in harsh environments. With extended temperature ratings and robust housing, the TS2 and DS1 can operate in diverse conditions without compromising functionality.

To summarize, the Perle Systems TS2 and DS1 provide a reliable and flexible solution for connecting legacy serial devices to modern networks. With their support for multiple serial protocols, web-based management, robust security features, and rugged design, these devices cater to a variety of industries looking to modernize their communication infrastructure while maintaining existing equipment. Whether for large-scale operations or smaller implementations, the TS2 and DS1 equip businesses with the tools needed for effective serial communication in an IP-driven world.
