2.00 About the <strong>Opto</strong> <strong>22</strong> <strong>SNAP</strong> <strong>Ethernet</strong> I/O System<br />

2.10 What is <strong>Opto</strong> <strong>22</strong>’s <strong>SNAP</strong> <strong>Ethernet</strong> I/O system?<br />

<strong>Opto</strong> <strong>22</strong>’s <strong>SNAP</strong> <strong>Ethernet</strong> I/O system is the combination of a <strong>SNAP</strong> <strong>Ethernet</strong> brain,<br />

a mounting rack, assorted I/O or serial modules, and a power supply. With a <strong>SNAP</strong> <strong>Ethernet</strong><br />

I/O system and an <strong>Ethernet</strong> connection, you can monitor analog and digital inputs and outputs,<br />

or interface to serial devices anywhere in your facility—or anywhere else in the world. The<br />

<strong>SNAP</strong>-B3000-ENET or <strong>SNAP</strong>-ENET-D64 brains are at the heart of <strong>Opto</strong> <strong>22</strong>’s <strong>Ethernet</strong> I/O system.<br />

2.11 How does <strong>Opto</strong> <strong>22</strong>’s <strong>SNAP</strong> <strong>Ethernet</strong> I/O system work?<br />

It’s quick and easy to assemble your own <strong>SNAP</strong> <strong>Ethernet</strong> I/O system. All you have<br />

to do is attach your field devices (meters, valves, switches, etc.) to your <strong>SNAP</strong> I/O modules,<br />

mount the modules onto a <strong>SNAP</strong> mounting rack, attach a <strong>SNAP</strong> <strong>Ethernet</strong> brain, and then<br />

connect the <strong>SNAP</strong> <strong>Ethernet</strong> brain to your <strong>Ethernet</strong> network. Now you’re ready to communicate<br />

to the brain from any host on the network that supports the TCP/IP protocol.<br />

2.20 What can I do with <strong>Opto</strong> <strong>22</strong>’s <strong>SNAP</strong> <strong>Ethernet</strong> I/O system?<br />

The possible applications are endless. Some examples include remote monitoring,<br />

remote control, data acquisition, alarm and event notification, wire elimination, multiplexing<br />

serial devices, and much, much more.<br />

You can use a computer to acquire data, control points, monitor inputs, and so on<br />

from the <strong>SNAP</strong> <strong>Ethernet</strong> I/O system. You can develop your own software, or use an off-the-shelf<br />
