Jan/14/2005 ICP DAS New Product:VXC-142i: PCI Bus, 2-port Isolated RS-422/485 Communication Board

The VXC-142i card provides two independent RS-422/RS-485 serial ports and can withstand isolation voltage up to 3KV. Each port can be configured as either RS-485 for half-duplex or RS-422 for full-duplex communication.

The user can select a specified COM port number manually by setting dip switch, or let the driver to choose an available number automatically. The driver provides a maximum of 128KB software FIFO for each COM port under Windows. It's practical for large file transmission.

In the harsh industrial environment, the on board surge protection can protect the computer and equipment from being damaged by high potential voltage.

Advantages

  • Built-in COM-Selector

  • Self-Tuner Inside

  • 3KV Isolation

  • Up to 128KB software FIFO for each COM port under Windows

  • Short Card Design

Features 

  • Supports PCI bus, Plug and Play

  • Provides 2-port Isolated RS-422/485

  • Provides surge protection

  • LED diagnostic indicators

  • Provides DOS Lib and sample programs (with source code)

  • Supports Windows NT 4.0 (Standard COM port interface)

  • Supports Windows 2K/XP/2003 (Standard COM port interface)

  • Supports Linux driver (tty device interface)

For more information, please refer to VXC-142i.

Jan/11/2005 I-8KE4-MTCP-G and I-8KE8-MTCP-G:Modbus/TCP I/O unit is available.   

Introduction

I-8KE4-MTCP-G and I-8KE8-MTCP-G are Modbus/TCP I/O units with Modbus communication protocol. They support most of 8K and 87K series I/O modules, such as DI, DO, DIO, AI, AO, etc.. Most SCADA software support Modbus communication protocol, thus users can easily and quickly integrate remote I/Os to the SCADA software as data acquisition and monitor to apply to environment monitoring, power management, factory automation, etc.

Features

·    Supports IPv4

·    Supports Modbus/TCP communication protocol at Ethernet port.

·    Supports Modbus/RTU communication protocol at RS-232 port.

·    Supports 8K and 87K series DI/DO/AI/AO/Counter/Frequency modules

·    I/O configurable via the Ethernet (Using the Modbus Utility)

·    I/O scan engine
The engine can automatically scan I/O modules plug in slots and range I/O registers address to continuous to have high-data-density registers to get best communication efficiency.

·    Detection of I/O module communication status (online/offline).

·    The SMMI of the panel can be used to 

            1. Configure the network setting (IP, Mask, Gateway)  

                2. Set the offset value of AI/AO module

·    Allowed a maximum of 8 host PCs access simultaneously

·    Firmware updateable (via the RS-232 port)

·    Firmware programmable
We provide the Modbus SDK allowing users customized the Modbus firmware.
