Connecting Kingview with a serial-to-ethernet converter in transparent transmission mode primarily involves the application of the serial-to-ethernet converter, transparent transmission technology, and Kingview software. Below is a detailed explanation and operational steps:
Serial-to-ethernet converter is a device that converts serial ports (such as RS232, RS485, etc.) into network interfaces, enabling serial devices to transmit data through network connections. Transparent transmission is a working mode of the serial-to-ethernet converter that allows it to directly forward received serial data to the network without any processing or conversion. This working mode is particularly useful for application scenarios that require data interaction with software such as Kingview.
Kingview is a commonly used industrial automation monitoring software that supports multiple communication protocols and device interfaces, enabling real-time monitoring and data collection of field devices. By connecting to a serial-to-ethernet converter, Kingview can receive data from serial devices and perform corresponding processing and display.
1. Hardware Connection: First, connect the serial device to the serial-to-ethernet converter to ensure normal serial communication. Then, connect the network interface of the serial-to-ethernet converter to a computer or network switch to ensure smooth network communication.
2. Configuration of Serial-to-Ethernet Converter: Set the converter to transparent transmission mode and configure relevant serial and network parameters. Ensure that the serial-to-ethernet converter can correctly receive and forward serial data.
3. Configuration of Kingview Software: Create a new project in Kingview and configure communication parameters for connecting to the serial-to-ethernet converter. These parameters should match the settings of the serial-to-ethernet converter to ensure correct data transmission.
4. Data Interaction: When the serial-to-ethernet converter receives data from the serial device, it forwards the data directly to the network. Kingview software receives this data through the network interface and performs corresponding processing and display. At the same time, Kingview software can also send commands or data to the serial device, achieving bidirectional communication through the serial-to-ethernet converter.
1. Ensure consistent communication protocols: The communication protocols between the serial device and Kingview should be consistent to avoid data parsing errors or communication failures.
2. Check network connections: Ensure stable and reliable network connections between the serial-to-ethernet converter and the computer or network switch to prevent data transmission interruptions or packet loss.
3. Debugging and testing: Before practical application, it is recommended to conduct thorough debugging and testing of the serial-to-ethernet converter and Kingview software to ensure data accuracy and system stability.
By following these steps, you can connect Kingview with a serial-to-ethernet converter in transparent transmission mode, enabling real-time monitoring and data collection of serial devices. This is significant for applications in industrial automation, intelligent control, and other fields.
