What Our Clients Say
Real-world performance verified by industrial automation integrators.
“Tech support walked us through the Virtual COM setup and stayed on the line until our old Wonderware SCADA polled the LAN perfectly. That’s why we return.”
“We deployed Valtoris 8-port isolated servers across our VFD control panels. 3000V isolation completely stopped the stray voltage spikes that used to fry our comm cards.”

Expert Guides to Industrial Serial Device Servers
How Do I Choose the Right Serial Device Server for My Needs?
- Think about the port count (1 to 32), interface type (RS232, RS485, RS422, or mixed), and isolation requirements (1500V to 3000V for noisy environments).
- Need remote cloud connection? Pick models with MQTT.
- Do you need network redundancy? Versions with two Ethernet ports.
What Cost Benefits Do Valtoris Serial Servers Offer?
- Reduce cabling costs by sharing a single network connection with up to 32 devices.
- Minimize downtime with industrial-grade reliability.
- Eliminate field service calls through remote diagnostics.
- Lower inventory costs with multi-function devices that serve as serial servers, Modbus gateways and MQTT gateways.
What Customization Options Does Valtoris Offer?
- We offer OEM/ODM services such as custom firmware, baud rate customization, protocol support, modified enclosure designs and private labeling. Get in touch with our engineering team to discuss your exact requirements.
How Does Valtoris Provide After-Sales Support and Maintenance?
- With each purchase you will receive technical documentation, configuration software (VirCom) and web based setup guides.
- Our engineering team provides email and remote support. We offer warranty support and long term availability of products for re-orders.
Can this solve PLC polling collisions and Modbus Exception errors?
- Yes. Our true Modbus Gateways feature Smart Caching and Bus Decoupling.
- Instead of forcing your PLC to sequentially poll 30 slow RS485 devices, the gateway handles the micro-polling locally.
- Your PLC then reads the aggregated, continuous data instantly via a single Modbus TCP request.

Request Hardware QuoteFrequently Asked Technical Questions
Will converting RS485 to Ethernet introduce latency and cause my Modbus polling to time out?
A: Standard converters frequently cause timeouts because they wait too long to package serial frames into TCP packets. Valtoris servers eliminate this by providing customizable Frame Packing Thresholds (adjustable from 1 to 255 bytes, or 10ms to 1000ms intervals). This ensures strict Modbus RTU timing compliance across LAN networks.
What is the exact engineering difference between Transparent mode and Modbus Gateway mode?
A: Transparent mode simply chops raw serial bytes into TCP payloads without reading them. True Modbus Gateway mode actively inspects the protocol: it translates Modbus RTU frames into standard Modbus TCP headers. It also starts Slave Register Caching which allows two different SCADA masters to poll the same RS485 sensor simultaneously without bus collision exceptions.
My control room PC runs Windows 11 and has zero physical DB9 serial COM ports. How do I connect?
A: You install our free VirCom Virtual Serial Port driver. It captures the network IP stream and maps it to a virtual local port (e.g., COM5) inside Windows Device Manager. Your legacy software (like older Wonderware or WinCC builds) connects to “COM5” exactly as if a physical copper RS232 cable were strung 500 meters across the plant floor.
When is 3000V Optical Isolation strictly mandatory on an RS485 bus?
A: You must deploy isolated models (Series VI) whenever the RS485 data line crosses between two separate buildings, runs alongside 480V motor feeder cables, or enters Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) cabinets. Any difference in earth ground potential between distant buildings can cause destructive ground loop currents. Our internal 3000V optocouplers physically break that electrical path and protect your central IT switch gear.
