1.1 Introduction
The ADAM-4577 is a peer-to-peer data gateway
between RS-232/422/485 and Ethernet interfaces. This unit immediately
upgrades your existing device for integration into the Internet world.
The ADAM-4577 makes your serial devices behave just like network-
ing devices. You can issue commands or transmit data from one serial
device, which connected to ADAM-4577, to any devices that are
connected to the Internet. This provides greater flexibility. There is no
need to constrain the serial devices to be bundled with a host PC
running on a different O.S. Besides, if you want your PLC or intelligent
devices which is running specific application program to connect to
any networking device dynamically, we provide several commands to
let the device to control ADAM-4577. The ADAM-4577 provides three
types of networking architecture: polling, event-handling, peer-to-peer.
In addition, ADAM-4577 supports UDP protocol .It allows most 8
host Pc accessing data simultaneously via polling networking
architecture. You can use it according to your application.
The ADAM-4577 features a lot of powerful functions such as: high
speed data transfer, advanced security protection, auto-detection of all
EDG series products, remote firmware download and more.Functionally
transparent and efficient, the ADAM-4577 is specially designed for
remotely controlling and monitoring devices via the Internet.
If you want to access the ADAM-4577, you must ascertain your
application software supports Standard networking application
programming interface (API) such as: WinSock Socket. The transmis-
sion speed of the ADAM-4577 is up to 230 Kbps, outperforming the
competition to meet the demand for high-speed exchange. The
ADAM-4577 also provides a high-performance RISC CPU and Real
Time Operating System to reduce CPU load. This element makes the
ADAM-4577 more stable and reliable during data transmission.
Another benefit is the ADAM-4577 allows users to remotely download
programs to a designated device via Ethernet. This reduces the need
for on-site maintenance and diagnosis.
The ADAM-4577 comes with a Windows-based configuration and
testing utility. The configuration utility can auto-detect all ADAM-
4570/4571/4572/4579/EDG-4504s on the local network. It also lets you
