Woodhead Industries, a division of Molex Incorporated,
(NASDAQ:MOLX)(NASDAQ:MOLXA), a global developer, manufacturer and
marketer of automation and electrical products for industrial
environments, announces the availability of a new BradCommunications?
SST?-DC100CCS OEM slave module for the CC-Link®
fieldbus.
The SST-DC100 product family is a range of OEM modules characterized by
its small size (90 X 40 mm) providing a powerful connection to a choice
of fieldbuses (CC-Link, Profibus®-DP,
DeviceNet?). The SST-DC100 modules are
designed for machine builders, system designers, and operator interface
manufacturers who want to implement a fieldbus connection in their
products quickly and at a lower cost.
The modules of the SST-DC100 family are interchangeable, interfacing
with the host system through a 60-point connector. Its pinout is
identical regardless of the type of module used, requiring minimum
effort by system designers to integrate the whole range of DC100
modules. The data exchanges and the various network services
(configuration, diagnostic, etc) are carried out directly through dual
port memory (DP-Ram), reachable via a generic library of functions.
The SST-DC100 module includes 128kbytes flash memory for storing
configuration data and a dedicated processor for managing communication
protocols. This embedded architecture provides optimal performance in
data acquisition without overloading the host system.
More importantly, the SST-DC100CCS module is a slave module compatible
with CC-Link v1.10 certified by CLPA (CC-Link Partner Association). The
connection to the CC-Link network is made through a screwed 5 pin
connector (COMBICON model) or by an optional HE13 male 2x5 pin connector
(for remote connection using ribbon cable).
For easier integration, Woodhead Industries has made available, a
development kit (part number SST-CCS-USB-KIT) including a USB v2 High
Speed adapter (embedding the SST-DC100 module), a software suite
(driver, API library, test tools including source code), and electronic
documentations. The development kit is ?ready-to-use?
for Windows environments or can be deployed on any type of target system.
