ELZET 80 supports its range of BITBUS master boards since many years with this uniform driver conforming to the Windows Driver Model standard for all of Microsoft´s modern operating systems.
The WDM driver provides interrupt driven access to all our boards and is fully integrated within the Windows driver concept. It allows access to up to 6 boards per computer from 16 concurrent applications (to each board).
The application accesses the driver through the "bapi.dll" interface library. BAPI (BITBUS Application Programmers Interface) is the BITBUS European Users Group standard for access to hardware of different manufacturers. With the use of BAPI your applications get independent of the board used and are even compatible with the ETH-BIT Ethernet-BITBUS-Gateways for TCP/IP.
