Data Sheet User's Guide

Production Specification

The B3000-B is a mistic serial brain designed as a modern drop-in replacement for the serial B3000 brain, which is obsolete as of October 2009.

The B3000-B has the same functionality as the B3000, except that it does not support the Optomux protocol. Customers requiring an Optomux brain should see the B3000-B-OMUX.

Like the older B3000, the B3000-B is a high-performance processor used to remotely control a mix of SNAP analog and digital I/O modules on a B-series rack.

The brain connects to an Opto 22 controller or a host computer over an RS-485 serial link. It works with both legacy FactoryFloor (mistic) controllers, such as the SNAP-LCM4 and SNAP-LCSX, and with SNAP PAC S-series controllers. (With a SNAP PAC controller, PAC Project Professional is required.)

NOTE: As with the B3000, not all SNAP I/O modules are compatible with the B3000-B. See Legacy and Current Product Comparison and Compatibility Charts.

NOTE: If you're ready to modernize or need easier system integration, see the groov EPIC System. Fully compatible with SNAP PAC, groov EPIC offers secure, efficient data processing and communication for industrial internet of things applications, as well as real-time control and I/O at the edge of your network.

B3000-B Serial Brains Data Sheet

B3000-B brains are serial brains designed as drop-in replacements for the obsolete B3000. Two models are
available:

  • The B3000-B replaces a B3000 that uses the mistic protocol. This model is compatible with FactoryFloor controllers running OptoControl strategies and SNAP B-series mounting racks. The B3000-B has the same functionality as the B3000 but supports mistic only.
  • The B3000-B-OMUX replaces a B3000 that uses the Optomux protocol. This model is compatible with SNAP B-series mounting racks and contains firmware suited for an Optomux system.
The two models have identical hardware but different firmware. The B3000-B-OMUX has an identifying label on its side.

Optomux Protocol drivers and utilities

This file installs drivers for E1, E2, B1, B2, and serial B3000 and B3000-B brains. It is based on the "iolib_optomux.dll" library. This toolkit is recommended for all new Optomux-based applications because it supports Optomux communications over both Ethernet and serial networks.

The toolkit can emulate the interface that the earlier library "OptoMWD.dll" provided; however, using this interface is not required. This legacy interface capability is included to help an existing OptoMWD.dll user make a smoother migration to this newer toolkit. The legacy utilities OptoScan and OmuxUser are also included.

This toolkit is compatible with Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems. It is not compatible with .NET programming languages.
