DL-PC-104 - Bus Card Interfaces PCs to Allen-Bradley (AB) Networks

• Runs existing A-B (Allen Bradley) serial protocol at bus speeds
• A-B network speeds of up to 2304 Kbaud
• Menu configuration; no jumpers to set
• Firmware in flash EPROM; reduces dependence on PC or disk
• 3-pin Phoenix screw terminal connector to A-B networks
• Ability to configure internally and externally - 5-pin Phoenix enables
• configuration using an external computer
• Card includes DH+ and RIO (Adapter) operation

The Equustek DL-PC/104 interface card provides PC/104 computers, MMIs, and OEM equipment with an inexpensive, high speed interface to Allen Bradley's Data Highway Plus or Remote I/O (Adapter)

The DL-PC/104 interfaces to a PC/104 CPU's bus using the same "Z182" COM port emulator as an internal modem The DL buffers PC/104 bus data bytes in RAM memory, converts it to synchronous serial data, and then transmits to the A-B network at full speed

The DL-PC/104's built-in CPU, RAM, and operating firmware in socketted flash Eprom frees-up computer memory and system resources for use by the application The Equustek's unique serial port approach enables PC/104 bus computers to connect to A-B networks at high speeds using the same A-B DF1 serial drivers used with A-B PLC Channel 0, 1770-KF2 and 1785-KE etc

The DL-PC/104 is designed for PC/104 applications running under operating systems including DOS, Windows 31, Windows 95, Windows NT, OS/2, Unix, QNX

In Adapter mode the DL can be configured for 1 to 7 (virtual) racks A computer can read all the I/O image tables in RIO, write 128 to 896 bits The card can handle 16 block transfer reads and 16 block transfer writes per rack, for a total of 112 reads and writes of up to 64 words each

Applications include:

• MMI, SCADA and OEM computer applications
• PLC Programming and Monitoring
• Data Transfer between PC and other DH+ nodes
• Off-line (self) tests
• On-line (DH+) diagnostics
