Using Serial/IP
- The supervisory application is reconfigured to use the virtual COM ports provided by the Serial/IP Redirector.
- When the application opens a virtual COM port, Serial/IP initiates a network connection to a specific networked PLC/RTU.
Key Results
- The existing supervisory application software is unchanged.
- The application can access field devices in a wide range of locations, depending on the networks employed.
- Legacy field devices with serial interfaces can be integrated using serial servers or cell modems from any manufacturer that supports public protocols.
