Ethernet 'C' Programmable
5201-ADMNET
Product Description
The ProLinx family ADM communications module (5201-ADMNET) provides a powerful platform for bridging communications between your custom serial protocols. The module is a stand-alone DIN-rail mounted protocol gateway that provides four fully programmable serial ports.
ADMNET Protocol Specifications
The ADM API Suite is provided to allow software developers access to the top layer of the serial ports. The ADMNET API suite accesses the Ethernet port.
Both APIs can be easily used without having detailed knowledge of the module's hardware design. The ADMNET API Suite consists the Ethernet Port API. The Ethernet Port API provides access to the Ethernet network. Applications for the ADMNET module may be developed using industry-standard DOS programming tools and the appropriate API components.
Product Applications
The ProLinx Application Development Modules are the ideal solution for developing custom communication between your serial protocol networks and Ethernet devices. Using the provided API, the module can be used as a bridge, a port splitter, or any of several other useful applications. All four ports are individually programmable.
Functional Specifications
Internal Database
The ProLinx module contains an internal database that can be configured as needed to handle your data transfer.
The internal database is shared between all ports on the module and is used as a conduit to pass information from a device on one network to one or more devices on another network.
