Yes. Each port can be individually configured for a different protocol (Modbus, SIXNET, or other) and mode (master or slave).

Practically unlimited (50,000+). You can have up to 128 SIXTRAK I/O modules for 1024 I/O points. And that's not all. You can then interface to EtherTRAK I/O, RemoteTRAK I/O, and third party devices for an incredible amount of I/O.

Yes. If your IPm unit is connected to a network with Internet access, then you can access it from any where in the world just by specifying it’s IP address. Absolutely. Communications over radio or telephone modems is a snap for an IPm unit. For radio modems, both the dumb (requires gateway to control transmitter keying) and intelligent (automatic transmitter keying) variety are supported. All necessary communication settings are easily configured using the SIXNET I/O Tool Kit software.

Yes. The datalogging option of the SIXNET I/O Tool Kit software makes it a snap to log historical data in a IPm unit which can have up to 2 Meg of battery-backed RAM. With this much memory you can log more than 26,000 records of 16 analogs, 64 discretes, and 6 floats. If you’re logging once a minute then you can log for 26,000 minutes or 18 days before filling up the memory.

No. These units can be used in many applications without requiring any knowledge of LINUX. For many popular industrial functions, no programming is required. With just a view clicks of a mouse, they can be easily configured with the powerful SIXNET I/O Tool Kit software. Such functions include peer-to-peer I/O transfers, datalogging, scaling, alarming, and more.

No, with the appropriate I/O Tool Kit license, SIXNET will supply an installation disk for compiling GNU (C or C++) programs on a Windows computer. Also supplied is the loader to place them into the file system of the IPm controller or RTU for execution within the embedded LINUX environment.

Any display you like ? this is a truly open system. Historically, we have seen more than a dozen types of Modbus displays connected to a VersaTRAK RTU or SixTRAK controller. Now with the upgrade to embedded LINUX, you can use any dumb display and generate messages from within the controller. Of course, you can use any graphic interface or HMI software. There are many of them to choose from (some of them are running Windows CE ? its perfectly compatible).

The Ethernet port supports the Open Modbus/TCP protocol per Modicon's specifications. It also supports Modbus over UDP which is faster than TCP but has less error checking. In addition, it supports the SIXNET protocol over either TCP or UDP. The serial (RS232 or RS485) ports support Modbus ASCII, Modbus RTU, or SIXNET protocol. Both master and slave modes are supported. In addition, the LINUX firmware supports standard protocols such as TCP/IP, ARP, UDP, DHCP, FTP, and others.

Most likely because there are several methods available. The first is with the SIXNET IOmap interface which is an option for the SIXNET I/O Tool Kit. This shared database supports OPC, DDE, and direct DLL calls. SIXNET also offers a Modbus OPC Server that talks Modbus/TCP and provides access via OPC or DDE. A third method is to use the Modbus/TCP driver that's offered with most HMI/SCADA software.

Easily. No programming is required to perform peer-to-peer I/O transfers between SIXNET controllers or RTUs, SIXNET I/O modules, or third party Modbus devices. Just use the SIXNET I/O Tool Kit software to configure your peer-to-peer I/O transfers. Yes. Using the combination of powerful ISaGRAF and/or LINUX programming and configurable peer-to-peer I/O transfers the IPm controller or RTU can easily be programmed to perform report on exception (i.e.

Sure. Just install TCP/IP (if you’re not using it already), set your IP addresses, and your all set to talk to your IPm unit over Ethernet. Most Ethernet networks can run multiple protocols (i.e. NetBEUI, IPX/SPX, TCP/IP, etc.) all at the same time.

MODBUS? Protocol is a messaging structure developed by Modicon in 1979, used to establish master-slave/client-server communication between intelligent devices. It is a de facto standard, truly open and the most widely used network protocol in the industrial manufacturing environment. It is literally implemented by hundreds of vendors on thousands of different devices in order to transfer discrete/analog I/O and register data between control devices.

A Modbus is a highly reliable protocol developed by AEG Schneider (Modicon) which uses packets of information. Many third-party software packages are available which use the Modbus (RTU) protocol. Comm6 is a software package from Watlow and available free of charge on the Watlow web site at http://www.watlow.com/literature/prodtechinfo. Yes, the slidewire must be in the resistance range of 0 to 1200 ohms. The remote set point must configured and wired according to the user's manual.

SIXNET supports all of the standard firmware embedded in an IPm controller. Just like any other process controller, RTU, or PLC, the operating software is part of the product and fully supported by its manufacturer. IPm is a truly open product, however, that can be enhanced with additional features and applications – in effect transformed into an application specific OEM product.

First, make sure that you have the latest version of EasyGPS (ver. 1.3.7 as of this post). Then make sure you have the 'Use USB Box' checked. EasyGPS doesn't know about these models yet. Lie to it and tell it that you have a Map60C. They use the same firmware, and it will work over the USB connection. I'm using V1.3.7 of EasyGPS and yes, 'Use USB' is checked in my GPS settings, but I'm still having problems.

Modbus is a communication protocol developed by Modicon systems. In simple terms, it is a way of sending information between electronic devices. The device requesting the information is called the Modbus Master and the devices supplying information are Modbus Slaves. In a standard Modbus network, there is one Master and up to 247 Slaves, each with a unique Slave Address from 1 to 247. The Master can also write information to the Slaves.

Clark County Mosquito Control District follows an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program. IPM does not mean that no pesticides can be sued (as is sometimes misunderstood), nor that using insecticides is a minor part of the mosquito control strategy. IPM is a program that treats mosquitoes in the most effective, environmentally-compatible and cost effective manner possible

No. The CSG cannot scan mail sent and received via Netscape/Mozilla because a special method involving the IMAP protocol is used to download mail.

If http://www.abc.com was entered, the CSG will ONLY block http://www.abc.com but the CSG will not block other related pages such as http://news.abc.com, http://sport.abc.com, etc.

The CSG does support continuative action downloads, but it does not scan files in instances where the files did not download from the start.

Presently (August, 2002), IPm controllers are running the LINUX v2.4.4 kernel with a FLASH file system on a Power PC. Of course, SIXNET will periodically upgrade the IPm kernel to keep up with the new features and enhancements of future LINUX releases.

No, Red Hat Linux is intended to run on a full-scale computer, presumably with a hard drive, significant amount of memory, and operator I/O devices including a keyboard and graphic display. IPm is an embedded controller that uses a FLASH file system, has limited memory resources and no GUI (graphic user interface). Application programs, I/O drivers, or other software developed for Red Hat, or any other LINUX variant may require modification to run on an IPm embedded controller.

No, you cannot. Java requires a huge amount of memory and considerable processing horsepower to run. Here is our advice: One of the things that makes Java so big is its support for graphics. If you need graphics in your application, the IPm is not suited for your application (since it is a blind node). If you don't need graphics, we suggest porting your application to efficient and highly portable C code. We have been told that Java is not as portable as Sun Microsystems would have you believe.

A protocol is a study plan on which all clinical trials are based. The plan is carefully designed to safeguard the health of the participants as well as answer specific research questions. A protocol describes the types of people who may participate in the trial, the schedule of tests, procedures, medications and dosages, and the length of the study.

Make sure that you are using the last version of GSAK (4.2 or higher--5.6 is the latest version). Prior versions didn't support USB.

You should define a custom service in "Advanced Firewall Config". When there is a custom service available you can select it in the rule creator.

The new version P-GRADE supports the change of port protocol. You can define the array size with an expression which can include global and local variables, constants and arithmetic operations. Important! If you want to take advantages of this new feature, you must use it very carefully . When the input and output side protocols become different, your application may collapse.
