The virtual COM port driver simulates a serial interface on a PC. The data sent to this serial interface from any kind of application are forwarded to a connected INSYS IP device via a TCP/IP connection, as if a direct serial or modem connection would be existing.
In this way any section may be bridged via existing networks without the need for a modification of existing systems (readout software, configuration software, etc.). The application „sees“ only a conventional modem path or a serial connection, but communicates via a TCP/IP network. The VCom device driver may work both in the mode of TCP client (building up a connection) and in the mode of TCP server (accepting a connection).
The virtual COM port driver VCom 4.x is based on the .NET Framework from Microsoft, which can be downloaded free of charge from Microsoft or as a local copy from this server.
The virtual COM port driver can be downloaded free of charge for use with products from INSYS icom. For usage in other fields of application please contact our sales department.
