XML Based Serial I/O Server from SimpleComTools, XML1000
The XML1000 I/O Server is the newest member of the Simple Com Tools M2M hardware family. Rugged and compact, this XML-based hardware appliance monitors 20 points of I/O locally allowing monitor and control using XML as the communications protocol.
FlexibilityDesigned to serve as both a partner to the COM1000 or as a stand-alone device, the XML1000 is also an important device servicing the M2M market. Simple both in design and feature set, the XML1000 serves a virtually un-addressed niche in the M2M market, the need for a low-cost; standards-based; open-source hardware appliance for capturing I/O events. With an RS232 DB9 port for the physical interface, the XML1000 Serial I/O server facilitates network agnostic communications transport of your data in XML format. Communicating with the XML1000 can be done over serial links, leased-lines, dialup, or via TCP/IP using IP-to-Ethernet device servers or numerous types of private radio and 3G cellular modems.

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a simple, flexible text format similar to HTML. Originally designed to meet the challenges of electronic publishing and electronic data exchange requirements, XML is now also playing an increasingly important role in the exchange of a wide variety of data on the Web, including Telemetry, SCADA, and M2M applications. Since the XML1000 I/O server presents I/O data in an open format, it is easily integrated into existing SCADA, telemetry, or meter reading applications. Applications configured to read I/O from the XML1000 can post the data to a local or remote database, or expose the data points to industrial automation and SCADA client applications using automation industry standard protocols, such as OPC and DDE.
Simplicity:
Information coded in XML is easy to read and understand, plus it can be processed easily by computers.
Extensibility:
There is no fixed set of tags. New tags can be created as they are needed.
Open Standard:
XML has quite a few benefits when it comes to deployment in M2M applications. First, XML is a standard, simple, self-describing way of presenting data. That means the content can be processed with relatively little development effort, and exchanged across diverse hardware, operating systems, and applications and can be used with a wide range of development tools and utilities.
Vendor Neutrality:
XML is vendor neutral, which means by using XML in communications protocols, and managing their data in XML formats, companies can maximize the lifetime of their investment and enjoy flexibility in the choices they will be able to make in future products and solutions.
Separation of the content from the presentation:
XML tags describe meaning of the data and not the presentation. This allows the presentation of the data to be changed without touching the original data. Making it easy to create innumerable variations of querying or presenting the same data.
Extensive Support:
There are a number of companies that have extensive support for XML, including companies such as Software AG, IBM, Sun, Microsoft, Netscape, DataChannel, SAP and many others. In addition, both Microsoft's and Netscape's Web browsers support XML, and Microsoft now uses XML as the data exchange format for Microsoft Office.
