The new dotLINK interface enables Ethernet connectivity directly to the local area network (LAN), simplifying network architecture setup and configuration. TotalChrom users can now access and monitor multiple instruments simultaneously through the Ethernet.
Through the use of an internal dotLINK interface board, built-in local area networking is now standard for all PerkinElmer Clarus® 480, 580 & 680 Gas Chromatographs (GC). An external dotLINK interface device is available for the PerkinElmer Flexar and Series 200 HPLC and for the Flexar FX15 UHPLC systems and third-party control, providing immediate connectivity and eliminating the need for terminal servers. In addition, the dotLINK interface allows enhanced instrument control and data buffering while providing a small footprint link box that frees up additional space in the laboratory.

Features of dotLINK
dotLINK Personality board
The dotLINK personality board carries the electronics necessary for the operation of the dotLINK. This allows the processor board to function as it supplies necessary connections and power. The Ethernet chip is (the SMSC 91C111) is a non-PCI Ethernet Mac and PHY.
Connections
The dotLINK personality card has 6 serial ports, 1 Ethernet port, and 1 USB port.
Both the Serial ports and Ethernet ports use an RJ-45 connector. The USB connector
is a standard “A” type USB connector. The processor board is connected to the
dotLINK personality board by using a fine pitch board to board connector. Electronics
The dotLINK personality board has all necessary electronics including, Ethernet
MAC and PHY, Ethernet Magnetics, 6 UARTS, RS-232 drivers, and power supplies. Microprocessor
SH4 7760 highly integrated, 32-bit processor. This microprocessor has on-chip
peripherals ranging from serial ports, to USB, to an LCD controller.
Permanent Storage
The processor board has 32MB of flash in which to store the Boot loader, OS, and application.
Temporary Storage
There is 32MB of SDRAM on the card engine.
Ethernet
Ethernet is provided by an SMSC 91C111 non-PCI Ethernet MAC and PHY. This provides one port of switchable 10/100 Base-T Ethernet.
Serial
There are three serial ports that are integral to the processor.
