SNAP PAC Ethernet Brain, ADS, with High Speed Counting
The SNAP-PAC-EB1 brain supports all the SNAP I/O analog, digital, serial, and special-purpose input and output modules available on the Opto 22 website. These modules can all be mixed on the same mounting rack and placed in any position on the rack. The brain and modules mount on a SNAP PAC rack, which holds up to 4, 8, 12, or 16 modules. In addition to I/O processing, the SNAP PAC brain communicates over a standard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet network. The brain is equipped with two switched Ethernet network interfaces. Because these interfaces share a single IP address and act just like an Ethernet switch, SNAP PAC brains can be installed in a multi-drop (daisy-chain) configuration, extending the control network without the added expense of additional Ethernet network hardware. SNAP PAC brains can also be installed in a star configuration using standard, off-the-shelf Ethernet network components. The SNAP-PAC-EB1 brain supports communication using multiple protocols running simultaneously.
