Active Ethernet I/O: Proactive event notification, reduced time and cost
Implementation of Active Ethernet I/O is flexible and easy. Active
Ethernet I/O servers support multiple protocols for data transmission,
including TCP/UDP, SNMP trap, SMTP (e-mail), and Modbus/TCP.
Administrators can set up condition-based reporting and control
in just 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. Peer-to-peer Ethernet communication
can be used for cost-effective digital and analog I/O signal extension to
multiple locations.
