SeaI/O User Manual
Software Installation
SeaI/O modules can be used with industry standard Modbus protocol or easily
controlled from application programs using the supplied SeaMAX software libraries.
Included are two diagnostic and configuration tools: MaxSSD and Ethernet Config.
The SeaMAX library features an object-oriented and functional interface for use with
C++ and Visual Basic. Also included is the CEthernet API library for programmatic
discovery and configuration of Ethernet enabled SeaI/O modules. Refer to the
SeaMAX Application Suite section of this manual for detailed information.
