Direct-Link™ DeviceNet

Data acquisition for real time Control applications

Overview

BradCommunications™ Direct-Link™ is a low range of automation components

for industrial communication. It includes a variety of products such as diagnostic

tools, intelligent connectors, tunneling gateways, fieldbuses network interface

cards, and software drivers for industrial networks.

Simple as they are affordable, BradCommunications™ Direct-Link™ products

allow you to acquire the equipment to develop your architectures and industrial

applications at a lower cost.

Direct-Link™ products are characterized by their simple use and fast

implementation; they are modular and scalable. Moreover, they are designed to

be easily embedded into computerized systems and are available in a wide

selection of form factors.

Powerful Network Interface card

Particularly, the BradCommunications™ Direct-Link™ DeviceNet interface

cards are equipped with 1 DeviceNet port handling DeviceNet protocol in both

Master/Scanner and Slave modes up to 500Kbps.

A smart A.D.M (Automatic Dual port ram Mapping) mechanism avoids the I/O

tags configuration in the Dual Port RAM of the card. More than a simple I/O

acquisition card, the Direct-Link™ PCU-DVNIO/PC104-DVNIO interfaces provide

the applications with additional information such as: device status and

diagnostics, process data read/write monitoring, communication tools for

troubleshooting, hardware and software Watchdog, etc.

The communication layers are completely embedded on the card, allowing easy

and fast communication with field devices resulting in remarkable application

performance.

Product package includes:

Graphical console for configuration and diagnostic tools

Data servers (Multi-protocol OPC DA 3.0 & 2.05, ActiveX, DAServer,

FastDDE/SuiteLink)

I/O libraries for Windows (DLL) and Ardence's hard real time extensions

(RTX)

Static library for non-windows OS

Drivers for soft-logic packages

interface cards allow deterministic I/O data acquisition

for PC-based control applications.
