In various automation industries, thousands of sensors, detectors, computers, PLCs, card readers, and other devices need to be interconnected to form a control network. The most commonly used communication interfaces for connecting these devices are RS-232 and RS-422/485 serial buses. However, recent years has seen a significant shift towards Ethernet/Internet and other network architectures, replacing traditional serial communication and becoming the mainstream for automation system communication. In line with this trend, TCP/IP and Ethernet, representing the higher maturity of open network technology, are gradually being adopted in automation systems to connect and control all devices.
The Mport series of serial servers from Maiwe Communication provides a solution for this "instant networking" need. These servers allow traditional RS-232/422/485 devices to be instantly converted into network devices. Maiwe provides not only the serial device server product portfolio, but also the management software.

MwVirtualCom is virtual serial port management software designed for use with Maiwe serial servers. On Windows system, MwVirtualCom application can virtualize COM ports, mapping the TCP Socket connection of the serial server to a local virtual COM port. Through the virtual COM port, it realizes the serial terminal devices connected to the serial server to complete the data transfer communication in the Ethernet.
◆ Support quick creation of virtual serial ports and management of virtual serial ports;
◆ Support real-time monitoring of virtual serial ports, which can display the data and status of serial ports and networks in real time, and improve the efficiency of network debugging;
◆ Support multiple network connection protocols, UDP/TCP;
◆ Support automatically add and manually add serial port server, and serial port server management and configuration;
◆ Compatible with all mainstream Windows system versions.
To meet the industrial demand for serial device access, Maiwe Communication continuously innovates the Mport serial server product line and launches high-performance products tailored for various industrial scenarios.
