“Legacy OT (Operational Technology) equipment such as controllers, monitoring devices, analysers, that gather data from site assets and communicate to the monitoring servers such as SCADA systems, were based on serial communications. They employed serial ports as means of comms channel/connection to the systems. With the advancement in OT networking, serial communication has now become […]
W&T added a new operation mode to the Com-Server++, making it a Gateway between a serial Modbus/RTU device and a Modbus/TCP master in the network. Many devices such as energy meters, measuring transducers, power inverters etc. have an RS232/422/485 interface and communicate via the Modbus/RTU protocol. The Com-Server integrates these devices quickly and reliably into […]
Com-Server provide serial interfaces over the network. Virtualizing computer systems is sensible in many cases for reasons of both cost and security. However, if the virtualized system is communicating with serial devices (e.g. medical/weighing/measuring technology or wind power/photovoltaic systems etc.), there is the problem that the usual virtualization platforms provide insufficient support. But the network […]
Com-Servers and USB-Servers are in a class of their own because in contrast to many commercially available serial device servers and USB device servers they are not simply a power-saving computer with a piece of rather complicated software, but rather “contain” a service which is vital for any critical use: As long as there are […]
