Protocol BRIDGE (Stand Alone)

Protocol BRIDGE ANT130

An interface module between equipment with proprietary protocols and ANT’s RDF. This module translates any known protocol on an RS232 or RS485 into the ANTLAN® protocol.

FEATURES

This module translates any known protocol to the ANTLAN protocol.
The device (transmitter) manufacturers protocols are usually passed to ANT which develops a driver (to be found on the website).
This driver is then downloaded to the device using a PC running the ANT tool utility (freely downloadable to our clients in the protected area). The next step is to map inputs and outputs.
Signals on the proprietary device side are mapped using a graphical interface, to the inputs of the RDF. In the same way, all outputs from the RDF are mapped to the signals of the device using the same utility.
The result is an easy-to-use translating tool that has in addition the capability of eliminating undesired readings.
