The invention provides a multifunctional network
protocol converter, which comprises a main control module, a switch
chip, a communication module and a storage module, and is characterized in that the switch
chip comprises a plurality of network ports, each network port belongs to the same
intranet, and each network port can be independently provided with a communication mode, supports various different protocols and data forwarding configurations, can realize various forwarding
modes, and is provided with a plurality of communication interfaces; the
data exchange module provides a
physical layer data exchange function; the main control module identifies, analyzes, stores, converts and encapsulates the data of different protocol types received by the network port and the communication module through the data storage
protocol stack, forwards the
encapsulated data of different protocols through the network port and the communication module, and integrates a switch, a
protocol converter and a
data processing function into one device; the
system architecture is simplified, the problems of high network protocol conversion cost and complexity caused by the prior art are effectively solved, and the network protocol conversion cost and complexity are effectively reduced.
