4. Functionality

The SVR‑IOA(FIT)GY functions as an Ethernet‑based intermediary server that collects, aggregates, and redistributes I/O data from multiple CONTEC I/O Controller Units (CPU‑CA10/20(FIT)GY). It cyclically polls up to eight controllers, consolidating their I/O data into a single communication stream for the host PC or supervisory system. This reduces network load and simplifies data management.

Use Cases and Applications:
- Centralized monitoring of distributed I/O systems in manufacturing plants.
- Remote supervision of sensors, actuators, and PLCs over Ethernet.
- Integration of factory‑floor data into enterprise IT systems.
- Web‑based dashboards for process visualization and alarm monitoring.
- SCADA/HMI integration via DDE or SuiteLink.

Compatibility:
- Works with CONTEC I/O Controllers (CPU‑CAx(FIT)GY) and Device Modules (digital, analog, counter, relay, serial, GPIB).
- Communicates with host PCs running Windows® XP/2000/NT 4.0/Me/98.
- Supports F&eIT protocol (UDP/IP‑based) for deterministic, real‑time communication.
- Interoperable with Monitoring & Control Server SVR‑MMF(FIT)GY for advanced control and logging.
