PCI LAN / Ethernet interface card
EA-ELEKTRO-AUTOMATIK

The pluggable interface cards, made by EA, offer a unified usability for current and future series of devices. They can be used as the situation requires it. Just plug them (with some restrictions when using two cards at once) and the devices offer either a
RS232
CAN
GPIB
Ethernet
USB
Profibus

or a parameterisable analogue interface. There are no or just a few preferences to set before use. All interface cards are galvanically isolated up to 2000V.

The digital variants for CAN, USB, RS232, GPIB, Ethernet or Profibus offer a plenty of possibilities to the user when it is required to control, measure and monitor multiple device of various kinds. They even allow to network our devices to a system. A unique feature is the gateway functionality (PSI 9000 series only). This links the CAN bus system mit either USB or RS232, so that devices that are networked via CAN can be controlled by a PC with a simple serial connection (COM port) or with USB. The data transmission speed is then, of course, limited by the characterics of the serial connection and does not reach full CAN speed. For optimal performance and to use the full spectrum of CAN it is recommended to take a pure CAN solution.
