Overview

BradCommunications™ Direct-Link™ is a low range of automation components for

industrial communication. It includes a variety of products such as diagnostic tools,

intelligent connectors, tunneling gateways, fieldbuses network interface cards, and

software drivers for industrial networks.

Simple as they are affordable, BradCommunications™ Direct-Link™ products allow

you to acquire the equipment to develop your architectures and industrial

applications at a lower cost.

Direct-Link™ products are characterized by their simple use and fast

implementation; they are modular and scalable. Moreover, they are designed to be

easily embedded into computerized systems and are available in a wide selection

of form factors.

Powerful Network Interface card

Particularly, the BradCommunications™ Direct-Link™ Profibus-DP interface

cards are equipped with 1 Profibus port handling Profibus protocol in Master

and/or Slave modes up to 12 Mbps.

A smart A.D.M (Automatic Dual port ram Mapping) mechanism avoids the I/O tags

configuration in the Dual Port RAM of the card. More than a simple I/O acquisition

card, the Direct-Link™ interface cards provide the applications with additional

information such as: device status and diagnostics, process data read/write

monitoring, communication tools for troubleshooting, hardware and software

Watchdog, etc..

The communication layers are completely embedded on the cards, allowing easy

and fast communication with field devices resulting in remarkable application

performance.

Product package includes:

Graphical console for configuration and diagnostic tools

Data servers (Multi-protocol OPC DA 3.0 & 2.05, ActiveX, DAServer,

FastDDE/SuiteLink)

I/O libraries for Windows (DLL) and Ardence's hard real time extensions

(RTX)

Static library for non-windows OS
