Updated protocol developer tool for embedded solution

Deutschmann Automation has updated the free Protocol Developer Tool for the UNIGATE IC2 PROFINET embedded solution. The communication module supplies reliable PROFINET connectivity and can be quickly and easily installed in a terminal device or sensor system. Implementation of the ready-to-use module can greatly optimise design times and time-to-market of the final product.

Protocol connection between the UNIGATE IC2 module and the terminal device is implemented via the company's proprietary script language ensuring high flexibility and complexity. The company provides the Protocol Developer supporting various functions to program the script to fit the received or send data into the right form. Mathematics or memory processing commands are easy to understand. The integrated debug environment offers common functions such as single-step, running and stopping on breakpoint, and monitoring of variables and an error message to allow comfortable and fast debugging even of huge scripts. The Protocol Developer features data-type independent algorithms and a pre-processor allowing for macro definitions, conditional compilation and operation with constants. The support of universal protocols increases the versatility of the script. The user-friendly surface offers modern icons for the toolbar, a simplification of the configuration, an extended syntax highlighting and an auto-completion of commands.

The company's compatible UNIGATE IC2 embedded series provides a wide range of Industrial Ethernet and fieldbus communication modules developed and manufactured in Germany. Furthermore, it supplies various fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet gateways and protocol converters for network-compatible systems.
