Introduction
Preface
The XML1000 I/O Server is another member of the Simple Com Tools M2M appliance family. Designed to
serve as both a partner to the COM1000 and a stand-alone device, the XML1000 is also an important device
servicing the M2M market. Simplistic in both its design and feature set, the XML1000 serves a virtually un-
addressed niche in the M2M market – the low-cost standards-
based, open-source, hardware appliance for capturing and
reporting digital and analog I/O events.
As its name implies, the XML1000 serves the status and
changes to its digital and analog interfaces via an XML format.
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a simple, flexible text
format similar to HTML. Originally designed to meet the
challenges of electronic publishing and electronic data exchange
requirements, XML is now also playing an increasingly important
role in the exchange of a wide variety of data on the Web,
including Telemetry, SCADA, and M2M applications.
The XML1000 comes with three different interface options;
RS232, RS485, and Ethernet. This manual is dedicated to the RS232 version only.
