2.3. Linking I-7000 Series Modules to an Ethernet Network
The I-7000 family was originally designed for use with an RS-485 network. They are
very robust and work well under the harsh industrial environments.
The PDS enables I-7000 modules to be upgraded to an Ethernet solution. Linking I-
7000 modules to an Ethernet combines the advantages of both RS-485 and Ethernet
solutions and expands RS-485 applications to the whole world.
The VxComm approach provides an MS-COMM-compatible interface. Therefore,
previously developed programs should still function without the need for any
modifications.
2.4. Configurable Ethernet Data Logger
Using the VxComm driver, PDS + 7000 modules can be virtualized to become COM
Port + 7000 modules located on the host-PC, and then the Data Logger in the DCON
Utility can be used to access data of I-7000 from the Ethernet. Signal data originating from
the I-7000 modules can be analyzed using MS-Excel without the need to write any custom
programs
