The RabbitNet� RN1600 Keypad/Display Interface card is the fifth in a series of peripheral I/O cards designed for use with Rabbit single-board computers such as the BL2500 Coyote, BL2600 Wolf, and OP7200 eDisplay that have RabbitNet expansion ports. The RN1600 provides a simple, inexpensive interface for connecting a wide variety of displays (up to 4 x 20) and keypads (up to 64 keys). For convenience, the RN1600 is DIN rail mountable..

RabbitNet
RabbitNet expansion ports enable a modular and expandable embedded control system whose configuration of expansion cards can be tailored to a large variety of demanding real-time control, display, and data-acquisition applications. A typical RabbitNet system consists of a master single-board computer and one or more peripheral cards. A high-performance Rabbit 3000® or Rabbit 2000® microprocessor on the master provides fast data processing, and the BL2500 and BL2600 masters also provide the DCIN and +5 V power for the peripheral cards

Programming RabbitNet Cards
Programs are developed and debugged using Rabbit�s industry-proven Dynamic C® software, which runs on a Windows PC. The Keypad/Display Interface expansion card is a slave; the master to which RabbitNet peripheral cards are connected is programmed using version 8.01 or later of Rabbit's Dynamic C. Dynamic C includes comprehensive debugging support and includes break points, watch expressions, and many other extensive features oriented toward real-time embedded systems programming. An extensive library of drivers and sample programs is provided, including a royalty-free TCP/IP stack for network and Internet communications. Full source code is provided for most library routines. Dynamic C is sold separately.
