Tibbo announces modular BASIC-programmable EM/RJ1202 Ethernet solution

Tibbo's new EM/RJ1202 offering includes two separate modules. BASIC-programmable EM1202 Ethernet module features 4 serial ports and 32 I/O lines in a tiny 19x17x14.6mm stacked PCB form factor. Optional RJ1202 companion module combines a standard RJ45 socket, Ethernet magnetics, and 4 status LEDs in a shielded 15.5x19x15.5mm housing. Measuring only 19x32.5x15.5mm combined, the EM1202 and RJ1202 occupy the same board space as the older EM202 device. Moreover, the RJ1202 face dimensions match those of the EM202, which eliminates the need for housing modifications when upgrading to the new EM/RJ1202!

Running TDST under Windows Vista

We are happy to inform that TDST (V3.9.82 and later) works normally under Windows Vista, however, the UAC (User Access Control) will need to be disabled. A new version will be released later on, which will work under Windows Vista with UAC enabled. Please remember that you must install and run the Tibbo DST with administrative privileges to have it work properly under Windows Vista.

Important firmware update for Vista compatibility

The default IP address of Tibbo devices has been changed to 1.0.0.1. Check here (and here) for details.

Tibbo releases EM1000 BASIC-programmable module

Tibbo is pleased to announce availability of its newest EM1000 embedded module.

The EM1000 is created exclusively for use with Taiko -- Tibbo's rapid programming solution that includes Tibbo BASIC language, Tibbo IDE software, and TiOS operating system.

Ideal for data collection/ control/ automation applications, the EM1000 features a rich set of peripheral modules. More info...

Taiko update available

Many small issues corrected -- install new Taiko/TiOS and enjoy!

Beyond Device Servers -- TAIKO Has Arrived!

Programmability is here! Tibbo has released a brand-new programmable solution -- Taiko.

You can now fully customize our products, using BASIC as the programming language!

With BASIC, our devices are no longer confined to being simple Device Servers. Our new programmable devices can perform virtually any intelligent control or communications function -- exactly like you want them to.

The choice of BASIC as a programming language offers two advantages: There is an existing workforce of programmers who already know the language, and development in BASIC is usually fast. This combination facilitates rapid application development -- for Tibbo devices! Visit the Taiko homepage, and go beyond Device Servers!

LinkServer is out of Beta!

After months of testing, and having been deployed successfully in many various operational projects, LinkServer is now deemed production grade.

New Beta Software Released!

Tibbo is proud to announce a comprehensive new release of Beta software and firmware for our Device Servers!

New Device Server Firmware!

• LinkServer support.
• PPPoE support - connect the Device Server directly to an ADSL modem, and it will dial out!
• Security improvements.
• Custom Profiles - define your own post-initialization values for Device Server settings.

New Device Server Toolkit!

• COM object - create and manipulate Virtual Serial Ports directly from within your programs!
• Line control improvements - additional options for CTS, DSR and DCD lines.
• Stability improvements.

New Tibbo LinkServer!

LinkServer allows you to communicate with your Device Servers across the Internet, in the simplest and most elegant way possible.

New DS202 Serial Device Server released

The DS202 is a new addition to a growing family of Tibbo's external Device Servers.

While being fully compatible with the original DS100 Device Server, the DS202 sports a 100BaseT Ethernet port, extended 12KB routing buffers, wide 9-25V supply voltage range and significantly smaller external dimensions. Device Server comparison chart can be found here.

DIN rail/wall mounting kit for DS100 now available

Two new Ethernet Modules released

We are proud to announce two new Ethernet Modules (Embedded Device Servers): miniature (32.1x18.5x7.3mm) 100BaseT EM200, and low-power (~50mA) 10BaseT EM120.

EM200 and EM120 complement Tibbo's new "RJ45" EM202 Module released earlier this year. All three Devices are functionally compatible with each other and upward compatible with the EM100 Ethernet Module. Module comparison chart can be found here.

New TIBBO.NET service portal

New TIBBO.NET service portal provides the last crucial link that glues your distributed data collection system together. New service lets you access remote Tibbo Device Servers over the Internet without the need to assign expensive real IP-address to each remote node.

New Multi-IP feature simplifies communications with multiple network-enabled serial devices

Until now a single virtual COM Port created by the VSPD (Virtual Serial Port Driver- see the right column on this page) could only "point" to one preset destination IP-address. But what if your PC software needs to work with several network-enabled devices located at different IPs?

One solution is to create several virtual COMs (one per each IP). This is inconvenient and application software may not support simultaneous use of several COMs.

Solution comes in the form of Multi-IP table- a new feature in Tibbo's Virtual Serial Port Driver. New Driver allows you to create, within a single virtual COM, a table of destination IPs and dynamically switch between these IPs basing on the contents of the outgoing data stream.

DS100B with RS485 I/F

RS485 version of our popular DS100 Serial Device Server will be released in August 2002. New DS100B will maintain full compatibility with the original DS100R while adding an RS485 interface model to our family of Serial Device Servers.

Release2 BETA is here

We are completing a major update of the DS100/EM100's firmware and accompanying PC software. Called Release2 (R2) this update brings several significant enhancements to our New firmware brings...

• TCP/IP protocol support
• Remote setup via the network
• Remote port configuration
• Remote I/O pin control.

New Tibbo Device Server Toolkit software includes:

• Device Server Manager
• Connection Wizard
• Port Monitor
• Virtual Serial Port Driver.
