Serial-to-Ethernet  
Application Kit

Ethernet designers now have a Serial-to-Ethernet Application Kit that is easy to use out of the box. The simple 3-Step Setup for transmitting data from a digital volt meter via a serial port to a TCP/IP stream enables even the newest user to quickly develop a Serial-to-Ethernet application. The kit features digital volt meter software libraries, sample programs and a menuing system, in addition to the Dynamic C® integrated development environment. The digital volt meter application software provides a framework for users to start their design with minimal time and effort (volt meter not included in kit).

The Serial-to-Ethernet Application Kit includes a popular RCM3010 RabbitCore module featuring 10Base-T Ethernet and TCP/IP libraries with source code. Measuring only 2.73" × 1.85" (69 × 47 mm), the RCM3010 operates at 3.3 V (with 5 V-tolerant I/O) and features 6 serial ports and 52 digital I/O. The RCM3010 is equipped with256K each of Flash and SRAM, quadrature encoder inputs, PWM outputs, and pulse capture and measurement capabilities. Two 34-pin connection headers provide 52 digital I/O shared with the 6 serial ports and alternate I/O features.

Designing with RabbitCores
The RabbitCore family of microprocessor core modules is designed to facilitate rapid development and implementation of embedded systems. RabbitCores are powered by high-performance 8-bit Rabbit microprocessors with extensive integrated features and a C-friendly instruction set designed for use with the Dynamic C® development system. The RabbitCore mounts on a user-designed motherboard and acts as the controlling microprocessor for the user's system. Small in size but packed with powerful features, these core modules give designers a complete package for control and communication.

The integrated Ethernet port frees designers from the limitations of serial-port communications and control and permits instant local or worldwide connectivity using low-cost networking hardware. Embedded systems using the Ethernet RabbitCore module can be controlled and monitored (as well as programmed and debugged when using appropriate accessory hardware) across any network or the Internet.

Programming the RCM3000
Programs are developed using our industry-proven Dynamic C software development system. An extensive library of drivers and sample programs is provided, along with royalty-free TCP/IP stack with source.
