TCP2COM Bridge and Monitor is a specialized software for Windows Desktop that helps connect TCP/IP (Internet) and COM ports (serial communication). It can work as a bridge between these two types of communication, allowing data to flow between them. This means it can take messages from a COM Port and send them to a TCP/IP client or server, and vice versa, enabling two-way communication.
Additionally, TCP2COM can be used to connect two serial devices using a TCP/IP bridge. One serial device acts like a TCP client, and the other acts like a TCP server. This setup allows both devices to send and receive messages through TCP/IP, giving you more options for communication.
TCP2COM is useful for tasks like building and testing industrial automation systems, working with remote PLCs (programmable logic controllers), microcontrollers, Arduino devices, and communicating with PCs. It helps you easily connect serial devices and expand your choices for communication methods.
It's also handy for developing and testing communication server programs. It can simulate a GPRS modem, connecting a field device's serial port to a remote server via TCP/IP. This simulation helps you test your communication server programs in realistic situations.
TCP2COM can handle messages in different formats, like text, binary, decimal, and hexadecimal, making it versatile for various applications.
