User manual Version 1.3 ABLELink® Ethernet Serial Server SE5002 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. ATOP Technologies has overcome the limit with a family of SE 5002 Series Ethernet Serial Servers.
User manual Version 1.3 ABLELink® Ethernet Serial Server SE5002 TCP Client Mode：SE5002 can be configured in a TCP client mode on a TCP/IP Network to actively establish a connection with an applications server –the host computer. After the connection is established, data can flow in both directions (Fig 2 TCP Client Mode). Fig. 2. TCP Client Mode UDP Mode：UDP is a fast but non-guaranteed datagram delivery protocol.
User manual Version 1.3 ABLELink® Ethernet Serial Server SE5002 Tunneling Mode(Pair Connection)：The tunneling mode is used for multiple serial devices to “talk” to each other through SE 5002’s and their Ethernet connections (Fig 4 Tunneling Mode). This mode is particularly useful when two serial devices are far away, because their communication distance is limited to 15 m. Fig. 4. Tunneling Mode 1.3. Hardware Description NOTE: 1.
