asix > commercial information > communication modules 

Each asix package includes, at no additional cost, a large set of communication drivers, which allow data exchange with measurement devices and most common PLC’s of worldwide manufacturers. Apart from dedicated drivers for specific PLC’s, asix includes open communication interfaces:

• OPC client,

• DDE/OLE Automation client,

• MODBUS RTU,

• MODBUS TCP,

• PROFIBUS DP,

• CANBUS,

matching the standards of Windows environment and allowing connection of almost any PLC or measurement device, delivered by the manufacturers with appropriate data servers.

MODBUS RTU and GazModem drivers are adapted for data exchange on dial-up links by means of AsComm module. Other drivers may be also adapted for operation on dial-up links based on Customer request.

Additionally, a special BUFOR driver (including full protocol specification) is delivered, which makes available an universal interface for data exchange with Customer’s drivers.

Apart from above possibilities, which are included in every package, ASKOM offers (against payment) a development of special communication drivers for any device of the Customer, when data transfer protocol specification is delivered and, for non typical solutions, also a testing device.
