2. Functional Principle, Technical Data
2.1 Short Description
The RS232 converter is used to expand the existing serial interfaces of many sensors to allow the integra-
tion into a local network or the Internet. This RS232 Ethernet converter thus enables the circumvention of the
length limitation of serial cables.
Further advantages:
1 Possibility of combining: Several sensors can be controlled via a network by only a PC.
2 Possibility of distribution: A sensor can be controlled over the entire network from different PC.
The adapter is based on the versatile XPortTM module, which unites high efficiency in a small dimension. The
range of features of this highly integrated Device servers contains likewise the possibility of depositing user
specific web pages. The wide range of setting options allows you to adjust the module to many user sce-
narios.

A 2 Software
The configuration of the RS232 Ethernet converter takes places uniquely in connecting the RS232 Ethernet
converter to the sensor and the connection to the network.
Relevant settings, like the adjustment of the baud rate to those of the sensor and the assignment of the IP
address, can be made by the network administrator using the supplied “Deviceinstaller“ program with a com-
fortable user interface.
The RS232 Ethernet converter makes it possible to connect the sensor via the TCP/IP protocol.
The RS232 Ethernet converter is based on the Lantronix XPort module.
In order to parameterize the RS232 converter (assignment of IP address, setting of baud rate of 19200), the
free made available software (“DeviceInstaller“) of Lantronix®, Inc. can be loaded under
http://www.lantronix.com/support/downloads/?p=DEVICEINSTALLER
The DeviceInstaller is based on the „.NET„ framework from Microsoft.
A detailed instruction manual of the software “DeviceInstaller“ can be ordered by Lantronix ®, Inc.
The settings remain also after a hardware reset.
