1. Introduction
The M-7000 series is a family of network data acquisition and
control modules that provide Analog-to-Digital, Digital-to-Analog,
Digital Input/Output, Timer/Counter and other functions. The
modules can be remotely controlled using a set of commands
called the DCON protocol. Communication between the module
and the host is in ASCII format via an RS-485 bi-directional serial
bus standard. Baud Rates are software programmable and
transmission speeds of up to 115.2 Kbps can be selected.
A number of M-7000 modules
feature a new design for the frame
ground and INIT switch, as shown
in the figure (rear view). The
frame ground provides enhanced
static (ESD) protection abilities
and ensures that the module is
more reliable. The INIT switch
allows easier access to INIT mode.
Refer to Sections 5.1 and 5.3 for
more details.
