The 7I44 is a 8 channel RS-422/RS-485 interface for use with our FPGA cards. The 7I44 uses RJ-45 connectors so the standard Ethernet Cat5 cables can be used for serial links. This arrangement is used now by our 8I20 drive and 7I64 isolated I/O card. It is not an Ethernet interface. I believe an indovidual has added Ethercat support to EMC, but only I/O, not drives so far as I know. > > Thanks! > > Viesturs > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)! > Finally, a world-class log management solution at an even better price-free! > Download using promo code Free_Logger_4_Dev2Dev.
