3- New in CANopen, Emergency messages acquisition in FIFO queue in the card

The EMCY messages are alarm frames transmitted by equipments in case of

internal error, (ex : current or voltage error, input or output shortcut). The applicomIO master is consumer of EMCY emitted by equipments and store them in a EMCY queue (FIFO 500 positions, timestamp precision : 1 ms)

The software application can grab these EMCY messages from the queue through:

- functions library (function AuWriteReadMsg_io) - OPC server

Feature available in PCI-CANIO and PC104-CANIO cards.

4- Remote access card via Ethernet TCP/IP

Used in the case where the applicomIO card (PCI, CPCI or PC/104 bus) is plugged in a non-Windows computer platform. It allows the live remote access to the card (configuration, initialization, diagnostic, ...) through a remote Windows PC, both computers being networked using Ethernet TCP/IP.

Feature available under VxWorks.

for other non-windows operating system : ask for availability
