ATC-3000 TCP/IP to RS232/422/485 Converter

1 Introduction

Many industrial and Commercial devices equipped with slow serial communication ports RS-232, RS-485,
and RS-422 are limited in their transmission distance of 15 m. Examples of these devices are PLC controllers,
card readers, display signs, security controls, CNC controller, etc. The ATC-3000 is designed to transmit data
between serial device and TCP/IP device through Ethernet, and hence enhance the accessibility of the serial
device through the ubiquitous TCP/IP based Ethernet.
ATC-3000 offers full-duplex, bi-directional data transmission transparent between serial port and Ethernet
network. Flexible configuration options enable this unit to be setup over Web browser, or other Windows
utilities. Packed in a rugged metal housing for wall or DIN-Rail mount with 9~24VDC wide power input range,
ATC-3000 is ideal for almost any industrial and manufacturing automation.

Appendix A: How to make a virtual serial port


Insert the software CD and you will find a file named vcom.rar , then open this file to setup the vcom software.

If you install the software correctly ,and then double-click the shortcut of this software .The main interface will
appear like Figure A.1.

Figure A. 1
Click on the Virtual COM tab and choose Add you will see the interface show in Figure A.2.
You can change some parameter in this interface to establish a virtual serial port.
Ø Work Mode: you can select TCP server, TCP client or UDP mode. But here we choose TCP client as a
example.
Ø COM Port: you can select a serial port number which you want to mapping. This port NUM. must not in
use. We select COM2 here.
Ø Local Host and Local Port: keep default set.
Ø Remote Host: input the IP address of the device which you want to mapping. The IP address of the device
we use in the test is 192.168.0.251.
Ø Remote Port: input the port number of the device which you want to mapping. The port number of the
device we use in the test is 27010.
Ø Other parameter: keep them in default set.
