EP-1000 E-Port

The EP1000A E-Port provides an interface between a Micro-DCI DataLink network and an Ethernet TCP/IP network. The E-Port is used in conjunction with the Micro-DCI Communication Services software which provides the network interface between the PC and the individual E-Ports.

All Micro-DCI controllers and auxiliary units using DataLink are compatible with the E-Port, making it ideal for upgrading aging DOS-based Supervisor-PC systems to MicroMod’s MicroPWC software running under Windows XP or 2000. The E-Port can be connected to single instruments using their RS-232 front communication port and the corresponding cable, or to the standard RS-485 DataLink network on the rear of the controller. It is available in wall-mount, DIN rail mount or Snap Track mounting versions.

Supported functions over the Ethernet network include database upload/download from the Micro-Tools configuration software, and operation, supervisory control and data collection from
HMI packages such as MicroMod’s MicroPWC workstation or popular third-party OPC client packages from Iconics, Intellution, WonderWare and others.
