Communicate with extern scale

Hello!

We have a pc running a form application.
If I push some buttons in this application I want to send some commands to a
scale which is connected
to a specific IP address. When I sent a command I also receive an answer
from the scale.
I want to communicate with the scale using TCP or UDP.
The commands that can be sent to the scale are very short about 3 to 5
characters.

The scale can only talk RS232 so we use a Ethernet converter to give the
scale an IP adress to send a command to.

I have not written any communication program using either TCP or UDP so I
ask you if this is possible.
Have I understood it right if I say that the Ethernet converter will remove
the protocol and send only the command to the scale and
get the answer from the scale.
I just want to make sure that it's possible to develop such a communication.
