| Application Kit |
Ethernet designers now have a Serial-to-Ethernet Application Kit that
is easy to use out of the box. The simple 3-Step Setup for transmitting
data from a digital volt meter via a serial port to a TCP/IP stream enables
even the newest user to quickly develop a Serial-to-Ethernet application.
The kit features digital volt meter software libraries, sample programs
and a menuing system, in addition to the Dynamic
C® integrated development environment. The digital volt meter
application software provides a framework for users to start their design
with minimal time and effort (volt meter not included in kit).
The Serial-to-Ethernet Application Kit includes a popular RCM3010
RabbitCore module featuring 10Base-T Ethernet and TCP/IP libraries
with source code. Measuring only 2.73" × 1.85" (69 ×
47 mm), the RCM3010 operates at 3.3 V (with 5 V-tolerant I/O) and features
6 serial ports and 52 digital I/O. The RCM3010
is equipped with256K each of Flash and SRAM, quadrature encoder
inputs, PWM outputs, and pulse capture and measurement capabilities. Two
34-pin connection headers provide 52 digital I/O shared with the 6 serial
ports and alternate I/O features.
Features
- Serial to Ethernet applications for:
- Digital Volt Meter reader
- Binary & hexadecimal ASCII
- Configuration menuing system
- Royalty-free TCP/IP stack with source code
Design Advantages
- 3 Step setup
- Minimal Ethernet experience required
- Software compatible with other Rabbit-based products
Designing with RabbitCores
The RabbitCore family of microprocessor core modules is designed to facilitate rapid development and
implementation of embedded systems. RabbitCores are powered by high-performance 8-bit Rabbit microprocessors
with extensive integrated features and a C-friendly instruction set designed for use with the Dynamic
C® development system. The RabbitCore mounts on a user-designed motherboard and acts as the
controlling microprocessor for the user's system. Small in size but packed with powerful features, these
core modules give designers a complete package for control and communication.
The integrated Ethernet port frees designers from the limitations of serial-port communications
and control and permits instant local or worldwide connectivity using low-cost networking hardware.
Embedded systems using the Ethernet RabbitCore module can be controlled and monitored (as well
as programmed and debugged when using appropriate accessory hardware) across any network or the
Internet.
Programming the RCM3000
Programs are developed using our industry-proven Dynamic C software development
system. An extensive library of drivers and sample programs is provided,
along with royalty-free TCP/IP stack with source.
