Serial over IP
Serial over IP refers to technology for transmitting serial data over packet-switched data GSM/GPRS networks.
Historically, physical connection was the only method for establishing serial communication. Although reliable, physical connection offers no solution for long distance serial communication. With the R-Pipe you can establish distance free communication between DTE and DCE devices. For instance, A PC located in New-York can communicate with PLC device located in Miami, just as if they were connected by serial cable.
Using Serial over IP solutions you only need basic internet connection (no static IP) and the R-Pipe unit.  Using the common world wide cellular network you can connect remote devices without any distance limitation and data will be transferred from one side of the globe to the other side easily.


General Info
Remmon server-based Serial over IP technology consists of the R-Pipe (attached to PLC device), internet server running Remmon application software and a computer with internet communication running Remmon Cell-Pipe application software.
Serial over IP technology based on 3 major components: 

1. The Cell-Pipe software application is installs at the client computer and creates     virtual com (e.g. com 37). Client software can use virtual com as standard com for serial communication. On the other side Cell-Pipe establishes TCP/IP communication (over the internet) with Remmon server for full data transformation.

 
2. R-Pipe contacts the local device to receive and transfer data using RS232/485 connections. Parallel the R-Pipe creates TCP/IP connection (with the GSM/GPRS cellular network) with Remmon server that enables the data transformation.


3. Remmon server connects between the cell pipe software and the R-Pipe on the field for data transformation. The server can easily be managed via easy-to-use web-based management software. Using a web-browser you can login into the server, monitor, configure and manage all of your connections.

The R-Pipe is an easy-to-use, light weight and compact GSM/GPRS Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) that is both versatile and easy to operate.
