ProtoNode – Multi-protocol Device Server

The ProtoNode is designed to be used by customers who need to quickly and easily enable their new or legacy devices to interface with other protocols. The extensive FieldServer driver library, coupled with the FieldServer experience in protocol translation gateways provides the OEM customer with confidence that their products will meet the foreign networks requirements for interfacing.

ProtoNode provides the greatest flexibility and versatility available today. It supports virtual nodes which allows multiple OEM controllers to connect to a single ProtoNode and seen as separate controllers on the various field networks.

ProtoNode includes all the hardware and software to enable the customer's products to interface to various networks. It includes two serial and one Ethernet port. Each ProtoNode is provided with the necessary protocol drivers. Multiple drivers can be installed on a single ProtoNode. FieldServer can provide custom driver support when needed.
