The SST ControlNet card connects your PC/104 bus computer to ControlNet.

Applications Many third party software programs support the SST ControlNet interface card for various applications including:

• Operator Interface/MMI/SCADA PC Control
• Network Configuration, Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
• PLC Programming

Features

• 32-bit i960 RISC CPU
• Simultaneous operation of 128 scheduled and 128 unscheduled connections
• Simultaneous functionality of ControlNet messaging, scanner and adapter
• Designed to work with any existing SST 5136-SD DH+ software drivers
• Works with Rockwell Software RSLinx

Available with SST ControlNet PCI Card:

• ControlNet Network Capture Tool
• ControlNet Configuration Tool
• ControlNet Network Analyzer
• Microsoft Windows NT drivers/DLLs
• Rockwell Software RSLinx Support
• Common Driver Architecture (CDA)
• OPC Server
• Global Technical Support, 24 hours, 7 days
• Example code and open memory map interface for custom driver dev.

CustomDriver Development SST offers two options for supporting the ControlNet interface card: SST Common Driver Architecture (CDA) or Memory Mapped Access. The SST CDA significantly reduces software driver development time without compromising any of SST hardware specific features. The CDA supports SST ControlNet, DeviceNet, Modicon and Profibus interface cards. Memory Mapped Access is also available. SST provides an open documented memory map interface with example C source code and Windows 32-Bit DLLs and drivers.
