What is Protocol Converter?

Protocol Converter

Protocol Converter is a handy tool that helps different devices talk to each other smoothly. Think of it like a translator for tech! When two devices use different communication rules, they can get confused and not understand each other. That’s where the Protocol Converter jumps in to save the day!

Why Use Protocol Converter?

This software makes it super easy for two applications using different protocols to share data without needing any extra hardware. So, if you're looking for a way to connect your systems without hassle, this is a great option.

Support for Various Ports

The Protocol Converter works with RS-232 serial ports and TCP connections (whether you’re acting as a server or client). It can handle one-way conversions, so you can send data from a master application to a slave application easily.

Easy Setup for Conversions

Getting started with the Protocol Converter is a breeze! You just need to set up a new controller. Each controller has its own settings displayed in separate tabs, allowing you to create two-way conversions if needed.

Configuring TCP and Serial Ports

If you're working with TCP, you can set up the server port along with the client’s hostname and its port number. For serial ports, you have the flexibility to choose your port and tweak settings like baud rate, data bits count, flow control, and more. Plus, you can configure how long the host should wait for replies or how long it takes before reading data!

Data Filtering Made Simple

The Protocol Converter also lets you filter data by defining specific rules for both incoming and outgoing messages. This means you have control over what gets sent and received!

Simplifying Data Exchange

The main goal of the Protocol Converter is to make sure that applications can exchange data without messing around with their protocol interfaces or command sets. With this tool, connecting RS-232 apps and sharing serial port devices through TCP servers becomes straightforward!
