Grid Connect can customize or produce a product based on our technology that fits your requirements.
Quickly and effectively implement your partial or complete, networking or embedded product.
We specialize in solving challenging IoT problems in demanding environments. No matter your application requirements.
As part of re-launching our website in March 2012, we worked with Gorilla here in Chicago to help come up with some new messaging to illustrate what Grid Connect is all about. We had a lot of discussions around what set Grid Connect apart from other companies in our industry, and out of that came our new slogan of “Real Humans, Expert Support.”
MODBUS may seem complicated and confusing to some, but it is a very simple protocol when you understand how it works. MODBUS is a request and response protocol. A MODBUS master will initiate a request and a slave will respond with either an error or the data requested. This is the simple concept of MODBUS.
Serial Device Servers transfer data between a serial port and an Ethernet network. Some of the most common serial interfaces are RS232 (typically DB9) and RS485 (typically 2 wire). The most common Ethernet protocol used in serial device servers is TCP/IP.
xPico is a networking solution that enables Ethernet connectivity on any serial interface. This little, chip sized xPico is the smallest embedded device server in the world. It is a complete device server with a full IP stack and web server. It supports serial data rates up to 921Kbps and has the same functionality and user interface of the xPort.
“This product is NOT compatible with your application.” These are the dreaded words that no customer is glad to hear. Not only were you looking forward to using the device, but now after built anticipation and empty hopes, you are told it will not work. At Grid Connect we try to avoid this statement at all costs. Our technical sales advisory, expert technical support, and vast product versatility give us the tools to make our Bluetooth products work for you.
What is an industrial network driven on? What will prepare a network for the future? Microprocessors are the “Heart of the Network,” according to Jim Montague, executive editor at Putman Media. “Heart of the Network,” featuring our own Mike Justice, is the featured publication in the fourth quarter 2011 edition of Industrial Networking.
Grid Connect is committed to PROFINET and we provide an expanding selection of PROFINET products and services. Our engineering staff have deep expertise and knowledge in all things PROFINET and are able to help deliver leading edge solutions.
1. Protection against solid foreign objects What solid foreign objects are a part of your operational atmosphere? Will your device need to be dust tight, protected against wires, or not protected at all? If maintenance is not an option due to distance or inaccessibility, then you might need to consider what objects can find their way into your devices enclosure.
Today we are announcing the gridARMtm, System on a Chip, with integrated Gigabit Ethernet. The gridARM is targeted at the low cost embedded marketplace where cost and performance are important. The cost for quantity 100 pieces is $10 each.
Hubs, switches, and routers are all the same in the sense of connecting network devices with each other at one of three speeds. Most devices are capable of both 10Mbs and 100Mbs and will automatically detect the speed. If the device is only capable with one speed then it will only be able to communicate with switches that also support that speed. Gigabit devices (1Gbs) are starting to slowly become more common as well. Gigabit switches, e.g. our GC-EKI-2728-BE, can be used with these devices to utilize that faster speed.
