The Molex/Woodhead/SST 5136-SD / 5136-SD-ISA is an ISA bus interface card that bridges legacy industrial automation networks with host computer systems. It enables real-time communication with Allen-Bradley Data Highway (DH), Data Highway Plus (DH+), and Remote I/O (RIO) networks, supporting both scanner and adapter modes. The card occupies a quarter-length ISA slot and communicates through shared memory with the host processor, allowing multiple concurrent applications to access network data simultaneously.
