Flexible Interface and Reliable CEMS to DAS Communication
The device features 8 physical inputs and 8 physical Digital I/O points, with up to 999 total, including pseudo I/O bits. Two built-in USB ports allow connection to external keyboards or mice and a convenient method to upgrade firmware. The Data Controller EX and EX-P do not use additional I/O cards.
The 8864 Data Controller communicates via Dual Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces independently and simultaneously with an instrumentation or CEMS network and with a StackVision server that may be located on the corporate business network. Each network port can support multiple sessions of data polling and remote user interaction — all while the 8864 continues to collect, compute, and store new data.
