Connect-IT CIT-SFP Serial (RS-232/422/485) Device Server SFP Module



The SFP Device Server lets you Transport, Control, Monitor, and Collect data from all your serial devices over IP/Ethernet. It is cost-effective and feature-rich, linking virtually any serial RS-485/422/232 device to any IP network over a secure connection.


Overview

Patton’s Connect-IT SFP module is an Industry 4.0 device that encapsulates asynchronous serial data into IP packets for transport through the network via UDP or TCP.   The module can be plugged into any Ethernet device with SFP ports that support 100BASE-FX and/or 1000BASE-X.   

Consequently, the device can function as a Device Server, Terminal Server and/or Serial-over-IP Extender.  This allows transport, control, access, and monitoring of Asynchronous RTUs and other devices over the Ethernet/IP/LAN networks.

The serial Interfaces are user selectable using software to for RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 and can support data rates from 75 bps to 230 Kbps.  The unit works with 3rd-Party Com-Ports, COM-Servers, and Com-Server Applications, and can function as a Com-Port Extender.

Serial data transmission can be done using UDP or TCP protocols. UDP allows Point-To-Point (PTP) or Point-To-Multipoint (PTMP) operation.  Point-To-Multipoint mode enables broadcasting nodes to build a broadcast configuration.

Configuration and management is done via password protected Web, Telnet or SSH access.  For security the Web, Telnet and SSH access can be set to write-protected using a switch module.   Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) Available.

The SFP module is packaged in a rugged fully metallic enclosure and supports operating temperatures between -40°C to +85°C and includes an embedded temperature sensor.



Applications
 
Mixed Ethernet and Serial Connectivity
The Connect-IT SFP Device Server, can be installed in the SFP slots of any Ethernet Switch, including the Patton 24-SFP-Port Industrial Switch and provide Serial Connectivity to a variety of industrial devices.


COM-Server (COM Port Extender, Virtual Serial Port) Point-To-Point
The CIT-SFP can be used with Com-Servers. The unit can be configured as a RSIP server providing a port number and public IP address to a RSIP client (Computer).


UDP or TCP Point-To-Point Operation
The CIT-SFP can be configured for point-to-point operation using either TCP or UDP. For UDP operation the two units are configured with each other's IP Address and PORT Number. For TCP Point-To-Point operation one unit is configured as Server and the other as Client.


Point-To-MultiPoint or UDP Broadcast Operation
The CIT-SFP can be configured for Point-to-Multipoint and/or Broadcast operation. For Multipoint operation endpoint sends serial data with a multicast IP Address (IPM) and some PORT Number (PORTM) as outgoing address. Only unit with input PORT Number PORTM accepts the received data and other units will discard it. Any multicast address acceptable in the application network can be used. Units distinguish incoming broadcast data by destination PORT Number (PORTM). For UDP Broadcast Mode the units send their serial data to the multicast IP Address (IPM). Incoming and outgoing PORT Number (PORTM) are the same for all units to receive each other's serial data.



Features
