M-Module Mezzanine I/O
Overview – M-Modules for Fieldbus Interfacing and Legacy I/O
Out of the large variety of fieldbus standards dedicated to distributed I/O solutions, MEN offers the most popular
ones: CANopen (Vector protocol stack and tools) and PROFIBUS DP (Softing protocol stack and tools) – with
master and slave functionality. The corresponding driver software is based on MDIS, which makes the M-Modules
ready for use under Windows, Linux and the most popular real-time operating systems. MEN’s know-how with
fieldbus solutions implemented on different platforms includes also DeviceNet, Bitbus, MVB and WTB.
M-Modules are also available with legacy I/O functions for many different communication standards for data
exchange with any type of development or target computer system as well as for periphery such as modems,
scanners, CD-ROMs, printers or disk drives.
