With access to the extensive FieldServer Technologies driver library, ProtoCessor can be embedded on the device to enable the manufacturer to meet the interoperability needs of their customer.
Protocols available include Allen Bradley EtherNet/IP, BACnet IP, BACnet MSTP, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, Metasys N2, DNP3, LonWorks and a wide variety of legacy and proprietary protocols.
ProtoCarrier now enables manufacturers to add the power of ProtoCessor to their device without the need of extensive board redesign.
The ProtoCarrier has either an RS-232 or RS-485 port on the host side (OEM product) and a ProtoCessor TTL socket on the board that can accept any ProtoCessor chosen to meet their user's specific need.
FieldServer Technologies can pre-programme the ProtoCessor to provide complete industrial or building automation interoperability.
