DCON I/O modules (RS-232/485, Ethernet)
DCON protocol is a request/reply communication protocol for the I-7000/8000/87K series I/O modules. It defines a simple ASCII format protocol, like $AAN, $AASi6, #AAN, .., etc. The hardware interface to access the I-7000/8000/87K series I/O modules can be devided to:
- RS-232: I-8000 MCU with 8K232.exe firmware
- RS-485: I-7000/87K series I/O modules and I-8000 MCU with 8K485.exe firmware
- Ethernet: I-8000 MCU with 8KE10.exe firmware
Even the I-7000/87K series I/O modules are not equipped with any Ethernet interface, by useing the I-7188E/8000E and the VxComm technique, you can still access them via the Ethernet.
