communication distance
PCM-3202I is a PCI-104 interface card
which supports two AMONet RS-485 master
rings, and transfers data between host
and slaves directly without any
operations in between. Each ring can
control up to 2048 I/O points, 256 axes,
or a combination of I/O points and axes
for motion control. The ring can support
up to 20 Mbps transfer rate and a
maximum communication distance of up to
100 meters.
The communication between master and
slave is based on a customized RS-485
solution that saves wires, covers a long
distance, supports high-speed
communication and has time-deterministic
features. The communication interface
between master and host PC is
accomplished by memory mapping. Various
functions can be chosen on the slave
modules, and standard industrial
DIN-rail mounting design makes it easy
to distribute them in the field. The
master collects information from slave
modules and publishes the information to
its host PC.
