CAI_LanWlan-SOC-IA-01

Description

With this module, a corresponding IMACS host board (e.g. CPU board) can be expanded to include a WLAN interface and an Ethernet connection, thus establishing a data connection with other systems such as a visualization PC.

The module firmware determines in which operating mode the module is operated, i.e. whether it functions as a transparent network interface for WLAN and Ethernet or only as a bridge for RS232.

The ESP32-wroom-32D product from Espressif Systems is used here.

The speed of the Ethernet interface is internally limited to about 512Kbit/s, even if it is externally signaled as 10 Mbit/s.
