ARCNET USB22 Series Product Details

In an effort to overcome the inherent non-real-time response associated with today’s traditional operating systems such as Windows®, Contemporary Controls released the USB22 Series of USB 2.0 to ARCNET adapters. ARCNET’s determinism has been compromised with traditional PCMCIA interface products because typical operating systems cannot service these devices in a timely fashion, resulting in lost or missed messages. The USB22 incorporates a deep memory buffer to hold messages until the OS can service the device via its high-speed USB 2.0 connection. Using this approach, missed messages are rare-even while operating at 10 Mbps which is four times the standard ARCNET data rate of 2.5 Mbps.

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) has become a well-known method for connecting either desktop or laptop computers to peripherals because it provides a very high-speed interface (up to 480 Mbps). Designed with the COM20022 controller, the USB22 represents the latest ARCNET technology-supporting data rates as high as 10 Mbps. Models exist for most recognized ARCNET physical layers. A high-performance microcontroller handles the transfer of data between ARCNET and USB. The NIM is powered from the USB port on the computer.

This product is compatible with the USB 2.0 standard, thereby allowing an extremely fast and convenient means of accessing an ARCNET network without the need to install a NIM into a computer. Since most modern computers are sold equipped with a USB port, it is only necessary to directly connect between the computer and the USB22. The USB22 will also operate with the earlier lower-speed USB 1.1 standard.

When the USB cable is first attached to a Windows 2K/XP/Vista machine, the user is prompted for a driver on a disk. Contemporary Controls provides a USB driver and DLL with an Application Programming Interface (API) that is similar to our Null Stack Driver API. By not employing a protocol stack, a null stack driver allows superior performance over a layered protocol stack by directly linking the application to the ARCNET hardware. This approach is beneficial when a timely logon to a real-time network like ARCNET is required. To aid the customer, the company offers some utility programs such as Talk that demonstrates how to communicate with the API.

The USB22 receives its power from the USB port on the USB computer. It is available in several models that will support DC- or AC-coupled EIA-485, coaxial bus or twisted-pair networks. It is shipped with a CD containing a Windows 2K/XP/Vista compatible DLL and driver, along with a USB cable.
