PerkinElmer - dotLINK
The new dotLINK interface enables Ethernet connectivity directly to the local area network (LAN), simplifying network...
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.
