Modules Add Serial Ports for Benders through NETWORKs

The module connects any bender or measuring center devices through your Ethernet network to a bender that normally connects using only standard RS-232 signals. It gives your bender or measuring center access to a virtual COM port anywhere on the network in your building. Distance limitations are removed with this protocol. We have WiFi (wireless) and WIRED TCP/IP models.

The Eaton Leonard version of the module includes a current loop board that we designed and improved for the Eaton Leonard Current Loop protocol.

Connect VTube-LASER to Eaton Leonard Premier Benders using Current Loop Electronics

The module, equipped with our current loop electronics, can be used to connect the FARO arm with VTube-LASER software to Eaton Leonard benders.

For how VTube-LASER COMMUNICATES with EL benders, see the VTube-LASER to Eaton Leonard Premier Communications Tutorial.

For how VTube handles the date internally, see VTube-LASER Data Handling for Premier, EL2000, and Velog Controls.

Connect to EL Vector Tube Data Centers Using Current Loop Electronics

The module can even be equipped with our version of the Eaton Leonard current loop boards (our own model called the CB-EL1) to allow for 100% compatible Eaton Leonard legacy protocol through the network for connection to an EL Vector Tube Data Center

Cabling

This is a module with cables in place. Three cables are attached to the wired version. A fourth wireless antenna cable is attached for wireless version.

  1. The Power Supply port is on the left.
  2. The Ethernet port is in the middle.
  3. The Current loop port is on the right.

PINES TS-2000 to Eaton Leonard Tube Data Center

This is a single port Benderlink Ethernet Module that connected a TS-2000 (Pines) control to an Eaton Leonard Vector 1 measuring center.

Blink module vector test1.jpg

This is the internal setup.

  • The Current Loop board is in the upper left corner.

  • The Ethernet Serial Device Server is the black box on the right.

  • The power supply is on the lower left.

Module for EL Vector Laservision to Benderlink for COMCO

This is the newer and more compact version of the Benderlink Ethernet Module that is designed for connection to an Eaton Leonard Vector Laservision measuring center for conversion through Benderlink for COMCO.

BenderlinkEternetModuleEL External1.png

This is internal setup.

  • The Current Loop board is in the upper left corner.

  • The Ethernet Serial Device Server is the black box on the right.

  • The larger (and much improved) power supply is on the lower left.

Other Applications

Bender Description
SMT Bender We use a Benderlink Module to make the SMT act like a Premiere bender control to an Eaton Leonard Vector measuring center.
PINES TS-2000 Using Benderlink for Pines - Add a module to a Vector Tube Data Center to enable a network connection through a current-loop module directly into the standard Vector bender port.
BLM VGP Using Benderlink for BLM - Add a module to Vector Tube Data Center to enable a network connection through a current-loop module directly into the standard Vector bender port.
ROMER to Eaton Leonard Bender Add a module to any Eaton Leonard bender and make it wireless.
CHIYODA Add this module to a Chiyoda to allow it to communicate over the network from its RS-232 port.
KEINS Add this module to a KEINS to allow it to communicate over the network from its RS-232 port.
MiiC Works with a MiiC to place it on the network (See Benderlink for MiiC)
YLM Works with a YLM to connect to an EL Vector Laservision Measureing Center (See Benderlink for YLM)
COMCO Works with a COMCO to connect to an EL Vector Laservision (See Benderlink for COMCO)
