Chapter 1
Introducing the OM-NET-1608
The OM-NET-1608 is compatible with both TCP/IP (IPv4 only) and
user datagram protocol
(UDP) network
protocols.
The OM-NET-1608 provides the following features:
Four differential (DIFF) or eight single-ended (SE) analog input channels (16-bit)
Sample rates up to 250 kS/s aggregate
Two analog output channels (16-bit)
Eight individually-configurable digital I/O channels
One counter channel (32-bit) that counts TTL pulses
Screw terminals for field wiring connections
The OM-NET-1608 is powered by a 5 volt power adapter.
Ethernet interface
The OM-NET-1608 has one built-in 10/100 BASE-T auto-negotiation, high-speed communication port.
With the Ethernet interface, you can remotely access and configure your OM-NET-1608 from anywhere on the
network. Only one computer can control the OM-NET-1608 at one time. The networking protocols are TCP/IP
and UDP.
A unique
media access control
(MAC) address is assigned to each device at the factory.
You configure the Ethernet connection settings through software. A network name in the format
E-1608-
xxxxxx
, is assigned to the OM-NET-1608, where
xxxxxx
represents the lower six characters of the device
MAC address.
