Introduction
We provide new ways of connecting legacy serial devices to a Local Area Network (LAN) or
Wide Area Network (WAN). TCP/IP converters are designed to operate serial ports over
100M bps Ethernet networks. The data is transmitted via TCP/IP protocol. Therefore, control
is available via Ethernet, Intranet and Internet. EX9132CST-DIO(V2.0) converter is
packaged in a PVC material case well suited for industrial environments. It provides two
serial ports with DIO, one is RS-232 and another one is RS422/485(Auto-Detect) . The serial
ports operate in common industrial configuration.
EX9132CST-DIO(V2.0) converter is a low-cost, high performance design. By carefully
selecting high quality with competitive prices components in the world, the products made
network connectivity possible with affordable cost for virtually all kinds of devices.
EX9132CST-DIO(V2.0) is a full set converter device with DIO, one serial ports RS-232 port
and another is a RS-422/485(Auto-Detect) and it provides one socket connection port. This
operation manual will guide you step by step to learn the various functions of the

Overview
EX-9132CST-DIO(V2.0) converter is designed to make your industrial serial devices
Internet ready instantly. ARM Cortex-M4 CPU of EX-9132CST-DIO(V2.0) converters
makes them the ideal choice for connecting your RS-232 and RS-422 or RS-485 serial
device—such as PLCs, meters, and sensors—to an IP-based Ethernet LAN, making it
possible for your software to access serial devices anywhere and anytime over a local
LAN or the Internet.
ARM Cortex-M4 CPU Series converters ensure the compatibility of network software that
uses a standard network API (Winsock or BSD Sockets) by providing TCP Server Mode,
TCP Client Mode, and UDP Mode. Model EX-9132CST-DIO(V2.0) provides 1 socket
connection for remote management. ARM Cortex-M4 CPU Series’ Virtual COM driver and
software that works with COM port can be set up to work over a TCP/IP network in no

Block Diagram
Low-cost devices usually are equipped with low speed processors and limited
memories. In reality, they have neither the capability nor practicality to manage
complicated network TCP/IP protocols. The ARM Cortex™-M4 32-bit processor has
been specifically developed to provide a high-performance, low-cost platform for a
broad range of applications including microcontrollers, automotive body systems, and
industrial control systems, networking by converting data stream between network
TCP/IP and popular serial port signals.
Instead of processing TCP/IP packets directly, devices need only deal with those
interface signals, which greatly simplifies the complexity of TCP/IP network in
linkage. The ARM Cortex-M4 processor provides outstanding computational
performance and exceptional system response to interrupt while meeting low cost
requirements through small core footprint, industry leading code density enabling
smaller memories, reducing pin count, and low power consumption.

The central core of ARM Cortex-M4 processor, based on a 3-stage pipeline
Harvard bus architecture, incorporates advanced features including single cycle
multiply and hardware divide to deliver an outstanding efficiency of 1.25
DMIPS/MHz. The ARM Cortex-M4 processor also implements the new Thumb® -2
instruction set architecture, which combined with features such as unaligned data
storage and atomic bit manipulation delivers 32-bit performance at a cost equivalent to
modern 8- and 16-bit devices.

Device Management Utility of EXBrowser
On PC we provide a Device Management Utility named “EXBrowser.exe” which is an
executable program in Windows 32-bit environments. EXBrowser setup tool is used to detect and
setup the installed converters. It uses UDP broadcast packets to query and configure converters
on the network.
When you activate the tool, it will detect the existence of the installed converters and depict the
converters’ status such as IP address, Subnet Mask, MAC Address, and Device ID (see Figure
4.1). The Setup Tool only can setup one converter at a time. Thus if there are more than one
converter on the network, please shut down or disconnect other converters. Otherwise the
EXBrowser.exe can not detect the converter.
Due to the nature of broadcast UDP packets, EXBrowser has following characteristics:
□
□
□
Broadcast packets are not limited by subnet. Even if the IP address of the converters and the
computer running EXBrowser that do not belong to the same subnet, it still works fine.
□
□
□
Broadcast packets can not pass routers. EXBrowser can only be used to monitor devices
with computer running EXBrowser in the same segment of local area network.
