Hello!
I wonder if anybody knows if the Allen-Bradley open controller ethernet
card 1747OCENET is supported by any of the QNX 4 Net drivers.

AB’s web site (www.ab.com) does not offer anything that will say about the
chip on the card.
It is probably one of the newer designs since it is able to communicate on
10 and 100 Mb/s.
You can either ask your supplier to look into that or call AB PLC support
(ah, agony of choice…)

Actually, according to Allen Bradley, QNX is explicitly supported.
see this page: http://www.ab.com/catalogs/b113/open/open.html
(look up the top at supported OS’s. QNX is actually the first OS that they
list -
to AB’s credit, Windows and MS-DOS are the last, and second last, OS’s
listed)

John,
I agree, but haven’t we seen “… supports QNX” many times, and later found
out
that this is not entirely true? I personaly like to check first and then
assume certain things, definitely not fork out some money to buy expensive
stuff
just because there is a known word on the marketing brochure.

I agree.
I would buy one system (or contact the vendor and get an eval unit if
possible), and test it. If it was purchased, and didn’t work with QNX,
the presence of the explicit mention on the web page is certainly
sufficient grounds to return the product for a full refund. This would
definately be faster than trying to get the info from the local vendor,
or AB tech support.
I would do this, regardless of what O/S I was planning to run on a
piece of hardware…
