The applicomIO® PCU-ETHIO network interface card provides high-speed
deterministic communication to exchange data with industrial devices through Modbus Ethernet messaging. The built-in processor handles all the protocol management to offer reliable and outstanding performance.
The software package includes a common development library for all fieldbuses supported. The process data is exchanged with the control application through a shared memory where inputs/outputs are automatically mapped. To monitor the communication between the card and the control application, the library includes a watchdog feature to automatically detect software blocking.
A real Turnkey Solution
applicomIO® configuration software console provides a standardized and user-friendly environment for quick development of communication applications without the worry of knowing industrial communication protocols. The console saves time during the commissioning phase by offering features such as automatic device detection, user configuration management, diagnostic information, etc.
