Product Description
VCP DIN provides a data
communication solution for
connecting Windows hosts
(as PowerSoft) to the Carlo
Gavazzi energy meters and
power analysers over a
TCP/IP Ethernet network
(LAN, Internet). VCP DIN
works like an add-on single-
port serial board to the PC
server, but with the major
advantage of exploiting the
TCP/IP network. Although it
connects through the virtual
link of the Ethernet, the port

Type VCP-DIN
on VCP DIN is recognized
as a real COM port by Win-
dows. VCP DIN provides
both the basic transmit/
receive data functions, as
well as RTS, CTS, DTR,
DSR, and DCD control sig-
nals. VCP DIN is supplied
with a utility program pro-
viding a simple step-by-
step installation procedure
and a maintenance wizard
that allows an easy access
to the instruments.
