The Rabbit microprocessor family includes chips,
Single Board Computers (SBCs) and Core Modules. Rabbit is 8-bit
microprocessor technology based on the Z80 architecture. Software
and hardware optimization are used heavily to make the Rabbit
outperform many 16 bit designs. Full details are at www.Rabbit.com. Rabbit based
systems support 5 to 20 I/O points, multiple serial ports, Ethernet
connectivity and a small amount of nonvolatile storage.
In GlueLogix designs, Rabbit technology is used where there is a need
for a moderate level of connectivity, but no speed, storage or
computation requirements that would overwhelm the 8 bit core.
Project with RCM3315
The client for this
industrial product designed the machine itself including all wiring and
electronics, but had no in-house embedded software expertise.
Features:
Embedded Website with Security
Email Alerts
Remote Configuration via Text Files
Serial Connected HMI
Network Firmware Update
All Machine Control (no PLC is used in this machine)
15 Hardware Option Packages
Automated test with Gumstix based Machine Simulation
Project with BL2010
This project is used with
Zebra label printers on a packaging line. The printer is set up
with a format that needs information filled in. The BL2010
provides that information as filled in by a local operator.
Depending on the project, there may be a sensor to complete the format
per-label.
Features:
Ethernet Setup
Serial Link to Handheld User Interface
Operator and Supervisor Passwords
Expiration Date Management
Serial Link to Printer
Network Firmware Update
Rabbit is an excellent general purpose processor. GlueLogix is
fully tooled for Rabbit software, and can back that up with electronics
and enclosure design, prototype construction, and product support.
