  • Patent number: 8396947
    Abstract: An active monitoring system for serial monitoring devices and the method thereof are provided. By receiving serial data from a serial monitoring device on a triggering device and analyzing the serial data to generate a device tag, the mechanism transmits the packed device tag actively to a server through a network. The server automatically generates a tag compliant with the Object Linking and Embedding for Process Control (OPC) according to the device tag for monitoring. The mechanism improves the compatibility and efficiency of monitoring and bandwidth usage.

  • Publication number: 20100156693
    Abstract: A programmable remote control system and the method thereof are provided to solve the problem of learning a controlling language at a huge time cost in the prior art. A control command group is remotely set and stored in the triggering end for positive and negative logic determination and control. The mechanism facilitates the provision of the control command group for actively transmitting messages.

  • Publication number: 20090013092
    Abstract: A virtual COM port for Modbus gateway Ethernet I/O includes a host terminal, and an I/O controller connected to the host terminal through a network. The host terminal and the I/O controller comprise a first virtual COM port and a second virtual COM port respectively. When transmitting or receiving commands or data, the first virtual COM port of the host terminal and the second virtual COM port of the I/O controller convert the commands or data between the Modbus/RTU format and the Modbus/TCP format. Therefore, a user just downloads the first virtual COM port and the second virtual COM port or externally connects the first virtual COM port and the second virtual COM port to the host terminal and the I/O controller. Accordingly, the maintenance can be simple and carried out easily.

  • Publication number: 20080148222
    Abstract: Programmable automatic triggering system and apparatus include a programmable automatic triggering system and automatic triggering apparatus. The programmable automatic triggering system includes a menu display module and a program code generating module. The menu display module has one or more menu control instructions and each menu control instruction corresponds to an output menu control instruction. The program code generating module of the programmable automatic triggering system compiles menu control instructions set by a user into machine readable program codes, and a real-time processor of the automatic triggering apparatus processes the program codes generated by the program code generating module and controls or instructs a preinstalled input/output device connected to the automatic triggering apparatus, so that the user can set up the programmable automatic triggering system easily.

  • Publication number: 20070050525
    Abstract: A virtual COM port for remote I/O controller comprises a virtual COM port in a host end. The virtual COM port is connected to a remote I/O controller via a network, wherein the virtual COM port is adopted for receiving and converting commands or data of a COM port interface transmitted from the host end into an acceptable format for the remote I/O controller, and then transmitting to the remote I/O controller for processing. The virtual COM port is also adopted for receiving and converting commands or data transmitted from the remote I/O controller via the network into an acceptable format for the COM port interface, and then transmitting to the host end for processing.
