Woodhead Industries Introduces New BradCommunications OEM Slave Module For CC-Link
DC100 modules allows fast and easy integration of CC-Link fieldbus into OEM/embedded systems
February 13, 2007, Northbrook, IL - Woodhead Industries, a division of Molex Incorporated, (NASDAQ: MOLX and MOLXA), a global developer, manufacturer and marketer of automation and electrical products for industrial environments, announces the availability of a new BradCommunications(TM) SST(TM)-DC100CCS OEM slave module for the CC-Link® fieldbus.
The SST-DC100 product family is a range of OEM modules characterized by its small size (90 X 40 mm) providing a powerful connection to a choice of fieldbuses (CC-Link, Profibus®-DP, DeviceNet(TM)). The SST-DC100 modules are designed for machine builders, system designers, and operator interface manufacturers who want to implement a fieldbus connection in their products quickly and at a lower cost.
The modules of the SST-DC100 family are interchangeable, interfacing with the host system through a 60-point connector. Its pinout is identical regardless of the type of module used, requiring minimum effort by system designers to integrate the whole range of DC100 modules. The data exchanges and the various network services (configuration, diagnostic, etc) are carried out directly through dual port memory (DP-Ram), reachable via a generic library of functions.
The SST-DC100 module includes 128kbytes flash memory for storing configuration data and a dedicated processor for managing communication protocols. This embedded architecture provides optimal performance in data acquisition without overloading the host system.
More importantly, the SST-DC100CCS module is a slave module compatible with CC-Link v1.10 certified by CLPA (CC-Link Partner Association). The connection to the CC-Link network is made through a screwed 5 pin connector (COMBICON model) or by an optional HE13 male 2x5 pin connector (for remote connection using ribbon cable).
For easier integration, Woodhead Industries has made available, a development kit (part number SST-CCS-USB-KIT) including a USB v2 High Speed adapter (embedding the SST-DC100 module), a software suite (driver, API library, test tools including source code), and electronic documentations. The development kit is "ready-to-use" for Windows environments or can be deployed on any type of target system.
