DS/WS110x

Introduction

The DS/WS110x is a family of compact Tibbo BASIC/C-programmable controllers designed for serial-over-IP and serial control applications.

The DS/WS110x family currently includes:

WS1102 — wireless serial controller featuring Wi-Fi and BLE interfaces on the network side, and an RS232/422/485 port on the serial side.
DS1100/1/2 — wired serial controllers equipped with an Ethernet port:

The DS1100 is an entry-level, economically priced serial controller with a standard RS232 port.
The DS1101 is a powerful serial controller with a 3.5-channel RS232 port.
The DS1102 has the same features as the DS1101, but is equipped with a 3-channel RS232/422/485 port.

DS/WS110x devices are supported by Tibbo IDE (TIDE) and ship preloaded with a fully functional Serial-over-IP application. Written in Tibbo BASIC, the application is compatible with the Tibbo Device Server Toolkit (TDST) software suite, comes with full source codes, and can be modified by the user.

Display	No	Optional 96x32 monochrome OLED		No
PoE	Optional⁽¹⁾			No
Buzzer	No	Yes
Processor	T2000	T1000		Tibbo Wi-Fi/BLE SoC
Upgrade to ...	DS203	DS1206	DS1206, DS100B	---
TiOS and compiled Tibbo BASIC/C app upgrades	Through the serial port or network (including cold upgrades through the network)	Through the serial port or network (no cold upgrades through the network)		Through the serial port, Wi-Fi, or BLE (cold upgrades supported for all three interfaces)
Tibbo BASIC/C app debugging	Through the Ethernet interface			Through the Wi-Fi interface⁽³⁾
Dual app support⁽⁴⁾	No			Yes⁽⁴⁾

The Wi-Fi and PoE options are mutually exclusive.
The DTR and DSR lines are not available if serial debugging is enabled.
Requires Wi-Fi auto-connects (automatic association with a wireless network) to be enabled.
The WS1102 inherits this and all other advanced features from the WM2000 Programmable Wireless IIoT Module, with which it shares the Wi-Fi/BLE SoC.
