Features and Benefits

SST and Direct-Link Network Interface Cards support a wide variety of computer architectures (i.e., PCI, PCI Express, PC/104, VME and USB):
Provide comprehensive solutions for PC-based control and communication needs

Network Interface Cards that run both Master and/or Slave modes are available:
Allows the card to behave as a controller or a device on the network

Sophisticated, user-friendly configuration engineering software featuring automatic device detection, user configuration management and diagnostic information:
• Supports quick development of communication applications; no knowledge of fieldbus protocols required
• Enables time-saving commissioning and diagnostics

CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) certified:
• Mitigates risk of system incompatibility between communication and control devices
• Guarantees performance and interoperability

Overview

SST and Direct-Link Network Interface Cards (NICs) are intelligent communication solutions connecting various computer bus formats, including PCI Express, PCI, PC/104, USB and VME directly to a wide range of industrial networks including Allen-Bradley, DH+/RIO, CANopen, ControlNet, DeviceNet, Ethernet, Modicon MB/RIO, PROFIBUS and Serial.

Applications include PC Control, I/O emulation, OI/HMI/SCADA, PLC programming, network configuration, diagnostics and troubleshooting for industrial networked equipment including programmable controllers, I/O modules, panel PC and process instruments.

Software available for the NICs enables fast integration of industrial communication into a customer’s application.
