Fieldbus PC Interface Card

    Jan. 20, 2005
    The AD-CIF communication card connects Windows or Linux PCs to fieldbus devices using Profibus, DeviceNet, or CANopen.

    The card supports remote input and output modules for real-time data transfer between PCs and field automation equipment. CPU overhead is relieved through independent data exchange via the dual-port memory. The card is available in PCI-bus, PC/104, and PC/104-Plus interfaces.
