Ethernet switch takes on severe duties
New from Sixnet, Etherbus is a fieldbus-style real-time Ethernet switch which can be mounted directly onto a machine or exposed wall in harsh environments.
The ST-GT-1210 includes 10/100 Ethernet, RS232, RS485 and ST-Bus I/O ports.
It can interface to thousands of I/O with any of Sixnet's three I/O product lines (SixTrak Local I/O, EtherTrak Ethernet I/O, and RemoteTrak RS485 I/O), run ISaGraf IEC61131-3 programs, perform datalogging, and interface to third-party Modbus devices, all in real-time.
The ST-GT-1210 provides a reliable way to control or monitor Ethernet, RS485, or local I/O.
It is perfectly suited for most control and data acquisition applications where some PLC-style programming is required.
The ST-GT-1210 also shares the same powerful CPU as Sixnet's IPm line of Linux based controllers and RTUs, which means ISaGraf control programs and other operations will run at "lightning" speeds.
Features include: process control, Scada and RTU functionality; data logging and I/O transfers; ISaGraf IEC61131 programming with all five languages supported; Ethernet, RS485, RS232 ports; flexible communications, with support for Open Modbus/TCP, ASCII, and RTU; Ethernet, telephone and wireless link enabled; certified to perform UL, CSA, CE, DNV, and Zone 2 rated; DIN rail or direct panel mounting; and a -40 to +70C operating range.
