ioLogik E2000 Active Ethernet I/O
New Generation I/O that Talks over Ethernet
Active Ethernet I/O is a new concept for PC-based data acquisition and control that introduces proactive, condition-based reporting and control of
I/O devices. Unlike traditional I/O servers, which are passive and must be polled for data, Active Ethernet I/O servers can automatically report and
control I/O status based on user-specified conditions. This report-by-exception approach, new to PC-based I/O monitoring, requires far less bandwidth
than traditional polling methods. Critical sensor data can be obtained immediately instead being subject to polling intervals.This makes network
communication between the host computer and Ethernet I/O server concise and efficient, and makes data transmission 20 times faster compared with
traditional SCADA systems (50 ms compared to 1 sec).
The Active Ethernet I/O server is designed for flexible and easy implementation. It supports multiple protocols for data transmission, including
TCP/UDP, SNMP trap, SMTP (e-mail), and Modbus/TCP. Condition-based reporting and control can be configured in minutes using the patent-
pending, intuitive Click&Go logic interface, which requires no programming knowledge. VB, VC++, and BCB programming libraries are provided
for easy integration with user-developed applications. I/O signals can be easily and cost-effectively extended over Ethernet using peer-to-peer I/O
communication. This provides duplication of digital or analog signals between Active Ethernet I/O servers at different locations, without a PC or master
PLC.

Active Ethernet I/O – An efficient and intelligent option for Ethernet I/O
In order to improve enterprise productivity, today’s monitoring and data acquisition systems must obtain I/O event information, such as temperature,
humidity, and door open/close status, from local and remote sites. Systems have become more distributed in order to handle remote, large scale
applications, and they rely heavily on Ethernet and IP-based networks. A key factor in the efficiency of a monitoring system is the way that remote I/O
is implemented.
