This document discusses serial data communication and implementing a serial network using LabView. It begins with defining serial communication as sending data one bit at a time over a channel, compared to parallel communication which sends multiple bits at once. It then discusses using a PC, serial cable, and instrument to create a basic serial control system. The document outlines types of serial communication and transmissions. It also discusses using newer technologies like USB for serial communication and advantages over older RS-232 ports. The conclusion discusses using this project to create temporary ad hoc networks and how it can be expanded by implementing the network over USB.

Definition of serial communication :
In telecommunication and computer
science,serial communicationis the process of sending data one bit at a time, sequentially, over acommunicationchannel or computer bus. This is in contrast to parallelcommunication, where several bits are sent as a whole, on a link with several parallel channels.
A basic serial instrument
control system consists of three parts: 1. PC with a serial port 2. Serial cable 3. Serial instrument (Serialis a common device communication protocol forinstrumentcontrol because most computers and many remoteinstrumentsinclude at least oneserialport. Single applications can be used across a variety ofinstrumentswith few modifications, reducing programming and test time

Synchronous
clock signal wire is used by both receiver and sender to sample data
Asynchronous
no clock signal in common
data must be oversampled (16x is typical) to find bit boundaries
Which type should I use?
Serial Communication for Long Distances
Why serial connection is better for long distances: Differential signals are used to increase power Double the signal to noise ratio (SNR) Reach higher bitrate without noise USB 2.0 is capable of 480Mbits/sec! (At this rate, it would take only 46.5 seconds to transfer a 2.19GB BluRay movie over from a hard drive)
Differential Signal
Fun Fact: Longest ever deep sea Fiber-Optic cable will run through thawing artic between UK and Japan (thats 9,693 miles of cable!)
Parallel Communication Issues
Issues with parallel communication: Inter-symbol interference (ISI) and noise cause corruption over long distances Wires have small amounts of capacitance and mutual inductance Bandwidth of parallel wires is much lower than bandwidth of serial wires
Parallel communication is faster than serial for short distances
Serial Communication Implementation
Popular implementation found in older and some newer computers is known
as the RS-232 serial connection found in microcomputers

Advantages of USB Over the RS-232 Port
Higher speed
Ability to daisy chain different devices (connect several devices together in a
linear series)
Support for hot plug-and-play (The ability to connect a device to the
computer while a computer is in operation)
Universal Serial Bus
Being introduced as a high-speed replacement for the traditional
RS-232 port
USB has higher bandwidth
1.5 Mbps, 12 Mbps and 480 Mbps
Faster than the RS-232 port that operates in the region of 115+ K bps

linear series)

Future Scope Since the networking through serial port is bit slow, same idea can be implemented through the USB port which is quite fast as compared to the serial port.Implementing networking by means of the USB port involves the writtng of a USB driver. This USB driver is embedded with the network driver written for serialport. Some Basic Concepts of USB Port The Universal Serial bus was originally designed with following intentions: Connection of the PC to the telephone Ease-of-use Port expansion. The USB is strictly hierarchical and it is controlled by one host. The host uses a master / slave protocol to communicate with attached USB devices. This means that every kind of communication is initiated by the host and devices cannot establish any direct connection to other devices. This seems to be a drawback in comparison to other bus architectures but it is not because the USB was designed as a compromise of costs and performance. The master / slave protocol solves implicitly problems like collision avoidance or distributed bus arbitration. The current implementation of the USB allows 127 devices to be connected at the same time and the total communication bandwidth is limited to 12Mbit/s. Howewer use of low speed devices, management of USB "interrupts" and other overheads mean that actual throughput cannot exceed about 8.5Mbit/s under near ideal conditions, and typical performance may be around 2Mbit/s.
Conclusion: This project can be used extensively inorder to establish adhoc networks between systems. It provides a cheaper alternative for ethernet cards in situations where we are forced to establish a network temporarily for some specific purpose.Even though the serial port network is slow as compared to the ethernetcard, but provided the cost benefits it can be used very effectively. Besides this, this project is also a good example for those who are interested in understanding the complexities of the network interface. This project provides a study model for those interested in networking. Since the serial ports are used for communication, the data transmission rate is low. But the project demonstrate how powerful the network drivers are.
