Universal Serial Device Gateway

Empower serial devices to
access or be accessed in
Ethernet networking without
PC host.

Serial devices actively handle
data or command from/to RS232/422/485 or Ethernet.

Serial devices communicate
with each other by peer-to-peer
without host PC.

Transparent Ethernet Data Gateway

Transparent Ethernet Data
Gateway
– Create networking from PC Host
to devices
– With Win98/NT/2000/XP “virtual
serial ports” drivers, without
Ethernet networking
programming

Universal Serial Device
Gateway
– Bring devices to be Ethernet
networking nodes
– Need Ethernet networking
programming. OS independent.
Benefits of Universal Device Gateway


Any computing platforms can access existing serial
device through ADAM-4579 by Ethernet standard
protocol and without special driver supported
Two serial devices can communicate with each others
peer-to-peer without intermediate host PC
– ADAM-4577 1-port Universal Serial Device Gateway
– ADAM-4579 2-port Universal Serial Device Gateway
Application Architecture:Polling


The host PC polls serial
devices’ real-time data
directly through ADAM4579/4577
ADAM-4579/4577 can be
applied with standard
Ethernet protocol in most
O.S. such as Windows,
Linux without special
drivers supporting
Request serial device to send data

ADAM-4577/4579
Serial device: PLC, Barcode reader
Application Architecture:Event-handling

When Event/alarm occurs
from connected device, it
can be actively sent out to
the host PC via Ethernet.
Event/alarm was actively sent to PC
Ethernet
Internet

Reduce the loading of
polling access and increase
the performance of
Ethernet and Host PC.

Application Architecture:Peer-to-peer

Data can be sent/received
between two serial devices
directly to increase the
performance of whole
system and save the cost
of host PC.

Multi Hosts Polling


ADAM-4577 supports
UDP protocol to connect
hosts to devices or devices
to devices.
Multi Host PC can
connect to one ADAM4577 at the same time. (up
to 8 host PC). So, multiple
host PCs can poll one
serial device data
simultaneously.
