uPAC-7186EX-FD, a palm-sized programmable automation controller, features data logging, I/O control as well as various COM ports, such as Ethernet, RS-232 and RS-485. At the same time, ICP DAS also provides easy-to-use software development tool kits (Xserver, VxComm, Modbus libraries). By taking advantage of them, your serial devices are easily able to be integrated with uPAC-7186EX-FD, and furthermore, enjoy the ability of Ethernet!? Through the standard Modbus protocol, uPAC-7186EX-FD also seamlessly works with SCADA software, like Indusoft, ISaGARF, DasyLab, Trace Mode, Citect, iFix, etc.

For the hardware, it supports an I/O expansion bus. By pairing the I/O expansion bus with different kinds of X-boards, various I/O functions can be performed, such as D/I, D/O, A/D, D/A, Timer/Counter, UART, flash memory, battery backup SRAM, ASIC key and so on. From now on, there are more than 50 X-boards available for uPAC-7186EX-FD. Come on, and choose one of them to make your project outdoing others! * One X-board for the I/O expansion bus at one time.

Compared to uPAC-7186EX, uPAC-718EX-FD equips with an extra 64MB flash memory. By using the built-in MFS (MiniOS7 File System) library, you can freely read/write files from/to the 64MB flash memory. Simply with the uPAC-786EX-FD, many kinds of data-logging applications become a piece of cake! For example, log analog signals with timeline, or log RS-232/485 data for further analysis.

Using the VxComm technology, PC can create virtual COM ports to map the RS-232, RS-485 of the ?PAC-7186EX-FD. The software running on the PC can operate the virtual COM ports like a standard COM port to access the serial devices connect to the ?PAC-7186EX-FD. That is to say, the original software developed for the serial devices can access the serial devices via the Ethernet/Internet without any modification. Each PC can control up to 256 COM ports (including real COM ports). Using the I/O expansion board, each uPAC-7186EX-FD can have up to 8 COM ports.
