Line Service Commands

 

port

 

The destination port of the remote Modbus TCP Slave that the IOLAN will connect to.

 

protocol

 

Specify the protocol that is used between the Modbus Master and Modbus Slave(s),

 

either TCP or UDP.

 

range-mode

 

If you specify Host, the IP address is used for the first UID specified in the range. The

 

last octect in the IPv4 address is then incremented for subsequent UID’s in that range.

 

The Host option is not applicable for IPv6 addresses. If you specify Gateway, the

 

Modbus Master Gateway will use the same IP address when connecting to all the

 

remote Modbus slaves in the specified UID range.

 

slave-ip

 

The IP address of the TCP/Ethernet Modbus Slave.

 

uid-range

 

When Range Mode is Host and you have sequential Modbus Slave IP addresses (for

 

example, 10.10.10.1, 10.10.10.2, 10.10.10.3, etc.), you can specify a UID range and the

 

IOLAN will automatically increment the last digit of the configured IP address.

 

Therefore, you can specify a UID range of 1-100, and the IOLAN will route Master

 

Modbus messages to all Modbus Slaves with IP addresses of 10.10.10.1 - 10.10.10.100.

Set Multihost Line

 

Description

Configures multiple hosts or a primary/backup host schema for Silent Raw, Reverse

 

Raw, or Client-Initiated TruePort service types (multihost must be enabled by the line

 

service type for this to take effect, see Set Line Service for the command to enable

User Level

multihost).

Admin

Syntax

set multihost line <number> entry <number> host <host> <TCP_port>

 

set multihost line <number> entry <number> delete

Options

entry

 

You can specify up to 100 hosts in the multihost table.

 

host <host>

 

Specify the preconfigured host that will be in the multihost list.

 

<TCP_port>

 

Specify the TCP port that the IOLAN will use to communicate to the Host.

 

delete

 

Deletes the specified entry from the multihost table.

Set Line Initiate-Connection

Description

Determines how the connection is initiated for Direct Telnet.

User Level

Admin

Syntax

set line <number>* initiate-connection

 

any-charspecific-char <hex>

Options

any-char

Initiates a connection to the specified host when any data is received by the serial port.

Perle Systems TS2, DS1 manual Set Multihost Line, Set Line Initiate-Connection

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.
