ICP DAS’s DS-2200i is a serial-to-Ethernet device server that is designed to add Ethernet and internet connectivity to any RS-232/422/485 devices and to eliminate the cable length limitation of legacy serial communication. It can be easily used for the remote control of serial devices through an Ethernet network.

By using the VxComm Driver/Utility, the product’s built-in COM port can be virtualised to a standard PC COM port in Windows. Most serial devices do not have network ports; the server makes those devices able to connect to the network. Therefore, serial devices can be accessed or monitored transparently over the internet/Ethernet without software modification.

With two Ethernet ports, the server allows daisy chain connection, which enables flexibility in locating devices for easy installation. It also features 3000 VDC isolation and ±4 kV ESD protection, which diverts the potentially damaging charge away from a sensitive circuit to protect the module and equipment from the sudden and momentary electric current.

The VxComm Driver/Utility supports 32- and 64-bit Windows 10/8/7/2008/2003/XP. The virtual COM works transparently and is protocol independent, enabling integration with the user’s current central computer.
