The SixTRAK I/O Controller (ST-GT-1210) can run an ISaGRAF IEC 61131-3 program, perform datalogging, and interface to thousands of I/O, all in real-time. Select this unit when you need a reliable way to control or monitor Ethernet, RS485, or local I/O, and then connect to a supervisory computer. It is perfectly suited for most control and data acquisition applications where some PLC-style programming is required. (This one I/O controller replaces most of SIXNET’s legacy programmable SixTRAK I/O gateways).

ST-GT-1210 Selection and Application Notes:
The ST-GT-1210 was created for both end users and OEMs.  It serves each of these classes of customers in its own special way.

End Users:
There are many end users that want the flexibility and feature-rich capabilities of a SIXNET controller at a "budget" price.  These customers have no immediate intention of altering the firmware inside or accessing the Linux capabilities in any way (options available in Linux IPm products).  For these users, the ST-GT-1210 is a reduced price open controller or RTU, complete with ISaGRAF, Sixlog, Modbus, Ethernet connectivity - the whole suite of standard SIXNET features.  Because the ST-GT-1210 has the same engine "under the hood" as our IPm models, users get the same processing power as the IPm units— but without the many customization options available in Linux IPm products (although software can be loaded into the ST-GT-1210 to upgrade firmware versions).

OEMs:
Many OEMs have selected the ST-GT-1210 for their applications based upon its attractive price and the adequacy of its two serial ports for their application. OEMs may load their application programs and I/O drivers into the ST-GT-1210 without any changes to its firmware.
The SIXNET I/O Tool Kit's file loading capabilities allow OEMs to easily load their applications into the ST-GT-1210.  No knowledge of Linux or special firmware is required. To develop your applications, it is convenient to have capabilities such as FTP, telnet, etc.  For this reason, we recommend using a VT-IPM as a development platform for your application. This high-end platform provides: extra serial ports (useful for development); the full suite of Linux tools; and it is licensed and supported for Linux development (which the ST-GT-1210 is not).

The VT-IPm and the ST-GT1210 are 100% application compatible! You may think of the VT-IPm as an application development platform and the ST-GT-1210 as an application run-time platform.
