    Network Interfaces

    April 27, 2006
    The cFP-1804 four-slot and cFP-1808 eight-slot Ethernet and serial-based Compact FieldPoint network interfaces can expand the I/O in any PC or programmable automation controller (PAC).
    Staff

    The interfaces offer five standard protocols for open connectivity with industrial platforms and allow for integration of more than 30 Compact FieldPoint industrial I/O modules. The cFP-1804 and cFP-1808 natively communicate with a variety of protocols running on RS-232 serial or Ethernet, including Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, Modbus ASCII, Optomux, and the company's event-driven protocol. Users can choose modules including analog input and output, thermocouple, RTD, strain, high-current relay, and digital I/O. The platform has an extended operating temperature range, from 40 to 70°C. Using the LabView 8 graphical-programming environment, users can easily add Ethernet-based communication to PAC systems.
