RN1200
A/D Expansion Card
$73 (qty. 100)
The RabbitNet RN1200 A/D card is the second in a series of peripheral I/O cards designed for use with Z-World controller products
with RabbitNet expansion ports, such as the BL2500 Coyote and OP7200 eDisplay. The cards are DIN rail mountable and have
friction-lock connectors for simplified OEM manufacturability.
RabbitNet
RabbitNet expansion ports enable a modular and expandable embedded control system whose configuration of expansion cards can
be tailored to a large variety of demanding real-time control, display, and data-acquisition applications. A typical RabbitNet system
consists of a master single-board computer and one or more peripheral cards. A high-performance Rabbit 3000
®
or Rabbit 2000
®
microprocessor on the master provides fast data processing, and the BL2500 master also provides the DCIN and +5 V power for the
peripheral cards.
Programming RabbitNet Cards
Programs are developed and debugged using Z-World’s industry-proven Dynamic C
®
software, which runs on a Windows PC. The A/D
card is a slave; the master to which RabbitNet boards are connected is programmed using version 8.01 or later of Z-World's Dynamic
C.
Dynamic C includes comprehensive debugging support and includes break points, watch expressions and many other extensive
features oriented toward real-time embedded systems programming. An extensive library of drivers and sample programs is provided,
including a royalty-free TCP/IP stack for network and Internet communications. Full source code is provided for most library routines.
Dynamic C is sold separately.
Connectivity Tools
Z-World offers a connectivity kit for wiring assemblies that interface with the friction-lock connectors on the A/D card
