SNAP brains are I/O
and communications processors that control analog, digital, or
special-purpose I/O modules on the same compact SNAP B series mounting
rack. SNAP Ethernet brains are compact, flexible, high-performance
processors that connect real-world analog, digital, and serial devices
with Ethernet networks for monitoring, control, and data acquisition.
The SNAP-B3000-ENET works with analog, digital, and serial signals from
real-world devices, while the SNAP-ENET-D64 Ethernet brain handles
digital signals only. Both SNAP Ethernet brains feature pure TCP/IP
transport protocol; a 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet connection; and multiple
simultaneous protocols including Modbus/TCP, FTP, SNMP, and SMTP.
Versions of the SNAP-B3000-ENET with a built-in realtime clock or 802.11
wireless LAN connectivity are also available.
Serial brains
support both Optomux and Mistic protocols for easy integration into
existing Optomux or Mistic installations. SNAP serial brains offer a
variety of high-speed serial communications options and can be
daisy-chained on a simple serial link over very long distances. The
Mistic protocol provides seamless integration with Opto 22’s
FactoryFloor software.
