The MTM-EtherStem is a BrainStem link module and part of Acroname's Manufacturing Test Module (MTM) system. It allows a TCP/IP based Ethernet connection to a host PC which may be used for test direction, control and data collection. It may also be used to load reflex programs to MTM or BrainStem modules for PC-free operation.
This module provides a TCP/IP Ethernet link to a host PC or network for test automation control and data collection. Using this link and the BrainStem API, any host based application can interact with a device under test, other MTM module(s), test station hardware and custom peripherals, as well as log and store data from a test. The MTM-EtherStem features general purpose digital inputs and outputs, 12-bit analog inputs (A2D/ADC), a 10-bit digital to analog converter (DAC), serial UART ports, a BrainStem I2C FM+ (1 Mbit/s) bus and a peripheral I2C FM (400 kbit/s) bus.
The latest BrainStem development API is always available in the Download Center. The latest firwmare can be applied using the Updater utility. Check out the BrainStem Firmware Management reference entry or video for instructions on how to update your device.
Manufacturing Test Module System (MTM)
The MTM-EtherStem module is part of Acroname's Manufacturing Test Module (MTM) system. Each module in the MTM series is ruggedized and designed to survive the rigors of CM or OEM manufacturing environments around the world. Pin interfaces are protected against reverse polarity and over voltage connections are designed to operate from 0@C to 70@C ambient, with no external cooling or fans. As a BrainStem, the MTM-EtherStem module provides a BrainStem link to connect to a host PC or network. It can also operate independently by running embedded, user-defined programs based on the BrainStem reflex language.
Every MTM module utilizes the BrainStem API for C++ host-based applications and the BrainStem reflex API which closely emulates the C++ API. Each module also features a self-discovery and notification system, allowing embedded and host based applications to determine the module's capabilities and programmatically control and direct communication between modules on the BrainStem network.
