  • Patent number: 8233386
    Abstract: A device that uses parameters to provide multi-channel serial data transmissions and the method thereof are provided. A first serial device configures with the channel parameters corresponding to a procedure executed on a second serial device. The invention determines whether the data channel corresponding to the procedure requires sending/receiving data occupies a physical line. If so, the first serial device transmits data to the second serial device. Otherwise, the first serial device transmits a channel switch request to the second serial device. After the first serial device and the second serial device are both switched the data channel corresponding to the procedure to occupy the physical line, the first serial device and the procedure could exchange data. Therefore, the first serial device could establish new connection without closing original connection. It achieves the goal of using a single serial port to have data channels of different operation modes or connections.

  • Publication number: 20110078282
    Abstract: A network device that downloads files using its ID code and the corresponding method are disclosed. After the network device obtains its IP address, it generates a download command for downloading a target file corresponding to the device ID code. After transmitting the download command to a server, the network device receives the target file returned from the server. Therefore, the invention achieves the goal of automatically downloading a target file for the network device without manual operations.

  • Patent number: 7752280
    Abstract: A method of detecting response time-out based on master-slave protocol architecture, which calculates the time required for a slave device to respond to a Modbus request sent by a detection device based on Modbus communication protocol. The method is to send a Modbus request to the slave device through a detection device, and to record the Modbus request sent time, and then to have the slave device provide to the detection device a response. The detection device calculates the response time-out based on the request sent time and the response received time By means of calculating the precise response time-out from the response time-outs which are gotten from the slave device respond to a predetermined number of Modbus requests, the user or manager can determine the response time-out required for the slave device precisely so as to give EXECUTE instruction or command at the accurate time point.

  • Patent number: 7694051
    Abstract: A method of detecting master/slave response time-out under continuous packet format communications protocol, which calculates the time required for the slave device to respond to a Modbus request subject to Modbus TCP/UDP protocol. The method is to continuously send Modbus requests to a slave device through a detection device and to record each Modbus request sent time, and to have the slave device provide to the detection device a response for each Modbus request. By means of calculating the precise response time-out from the response time-outs which are gotten from the slave device responds to a predetermined number of Modbus requests, the user or manager can determine the response time-out required for the slave device precisely so as to give an EXECUTE instruction or command at the accurate time point.
