Interface with Ethernet connection
The Alfanet IP-Interface is developed as an intelligent portal between the alfanet and a company network or the Internet.
With this interface it is possible to send an e-mail message in case an error occurs on one of the controllers on the network. The e-mail will be sent to all the e-mail addresses which the customer has programmed into the interface. The e-mail will contain which controller produces which failure.
The log data will be stored on a SD card so they will be available for a long period of time.
Be aware that controllers which have their own memory should be connected to the pc on a regular base to avoid loss of data.
The pc program for read out the controllers is only available for computers with Microsoft Windows®. The versions Windows 7, 8 and 10 are supported.
The software for configuring the interface can be downloaded with the link on this site.
Available models:
– MC3-IP Interface, Wall mounting, 230VAC

Communication link between Alfanet and PC (Not for Windows 8)
The Alfanet PC interface is the connection between the Alfanet and the PC.
The PC interface has a real-time clock and a display on which you can read out the time or the amount of data in the memory buffer.
The PC interface has two relays. One of the relays is a central alarm relay which is activated when one of the connected modules raises an alarm. The second relays is activated as soon as the memory buffer is filled for 90%.
The standard PC interface has its own memory from 1MB which allows log data to be stored even when the PC program is not active. It is also possible to order a PC Interface with a memory of 2MB.
There are two different types of interfaces. One has a RS 232 communication port and the second has a USB connection.
It is also possible to connect a modem directly to interface. In this case it is possible to communicate to the network without a pc.
The Alfanet PC interface is supplied directly with 230Vac. Other supply voltages are possilble on request.
