I/O configurable via the Ethernet

I/O configurable via the Ethernet

The DCON Utility is used to configure I-7000, I-8000 and I-87K series I/O modules. It originally communicated with the I/O modules via the COM port. For I/O modules on the i-8430,i-8830,i-8KE4 and i-8KE8, using the VxComm technique to create a virtual COM port can let DCON Utility access the I/O modules via the Ethernet. For more details, please refer to Chapter 3.

Simultaneous access by a maximum of 6 host PCs

Although a maximum of 6 host PCs are allowed simultaneous access, it is recommended that fewer host PCs are used in order to give better performance and stability.

Internet

Updateable firmware (via the RS-232 port)

Firmware

Note: the 8430/8830/8KE4/8KE8’s COM1 port can be used to download firmware, update the MiniOS image file, and to configure the IP address.

When should the firmware be updated ?

ÎFirmware should be updated when ICPDAS announces
