... the far end of Ethernet
nodeAccess
- Direct access to remote I/Os over a Windows®-DLL
- Use of the Express-I/O functions on ethernode®:
- IOInfo
- IOCfg
- IOIn
- IOOut
- IOVecIn
- IOVecOut
- One order can address several ports at the same time
A website is nice if you want to look into an engine or an unit, but for remote control you need functions which can be installed into your program surroundings. nodeAccess™ offers this possibility with a DLL which makes in- and outputports on a far-off ethernode® or a TSM-CPU directly manipulable. Therewith you save local programming on remote controlled units.
Express-I/O makes it easy for the programmer to access process I/Os like 24V plugs or temperature sensors without the need for think over portaddresses and bitmanipulation. Already for many years it has been possible to access Express-I/O ports directly over the BITBUS fieldbus even from a master. Also from afar you only have to name at which type of bus the in-/output is located (e.g. at the processor pins, at the I²C-bus or at the TSM-bus), on which module and at which clamp.
Those who program in C can create self-defined network variables, e.g. for control variables or status information.
