Model ESP906CL Vlinx Ethernet Serial Server Ethernet Enable Any Serial Device Now you can Ethernet enable any serial deviceeven your legacy digital current loops. Use B&Bs Vlinx Serial Server technology to put your serial ports to work for you. Imagine the ability to communicate with every piece of equipment from any networked PC. Eliminate site visits just to make a minor configuration changes. Reduce service calls and increase productivity by knowing what your equipment is doing before you get a trouble-report. Spend more time doing the work you are paid to do instead of chasing down nuisance problems in remotely located equipment. Do you have equipment with RS-232/422/485 or current loop interfaces that you have left unconnected Many new and existing installations have equipment with unused ports for programming, monitoring or diagnostics. With B&Bs Vlinx Serial Servers, you can put all those ports to work for you. Simply connect the Vlinx server to the equipments serial port, and connect the Vlinx Ethernet port to your LAN. Your equipment is now online. It will appear as a local COM port on any networked PC running our Virtual Serial Port software. No software customization required, just run the appropriate software for your equipment. Industry Applications B&B Electronics new Model ESP906CL integrates the benefits of Ethernet communications with existing serial devices by offering four configurable RS-232/422/485 serial ports and two digital current loop ports. The Ethernet connection will auto select 10BaseT or 100BaseTX. The ESP906CL provides a Windows host control over serial devices located virtually anywhere on a TCP/IP or UDP/IP Ethernet connection. It even gives authorized users control over the connected serial device or the ESP906CL Menu from anywhere outside the LAN. Operational Modes Virtual COM port TCP/IP socket and tunneling UDP/IP socket and tunneling Features DIN rail or panel mount Supports 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Supports RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 and digital current loop interfaces Remotely upgrade or restore to default settings Manual and remote management of console mode Supports LAN and WAN communications Supports multiple TCP client connections Management access password protected.

When ESP Manager opens it will search for and display all ESP90x serial servers on the network. The Monitor Port feature allows you to use any PC on the LAN/WAN to actively view and troubleshoot the communications status. It shows when there is a client connection to the server and the client IP address. It displays the number of bytes transmitted and received as well as the status of the hardware handshaking lines. Web Server ESP906CL serial servers can be accessed and configured from any web browser (such as Internet Explorer) on the LAN/WAN. This allows you to remotely manage the software and your serial device. It also allows off-site troubleshooting. Heartbeat Connection Ensures Reliable Communications ESP906CL serial servers provide automatic resumption of the TCP data connection in case of a power failure or loss of an Ethernet connection on either the client or server. Once the Heartbeat connection is established the server sends a signal to the client every five seconds. If the signal is not received, the serial server will attempt to reconnect the TCP data connection every five seconds until communication is established again.
