Two-part design eases controller interfacing
PC/104-compliant industrial controller is based on CPU/carrier-board design using the Samsung S3C2410A microcontroller
It also supports TCP/IP sockets interface and HTML web browser access.
Six sites are provided for industry packs (IPs), providing a wide range of I/O functions.
An open specification defines the key characteristics ensuring compatibility between suppliers.
A rich mix of functionality is possible by using these plug-in cards.
They are very compact in size and include an ID PROM which aids auto-configuration.
A broad range of products is available from suppliers all over the world.
These include ADC, DAC, I/O, isolated I/O, RS232, RS485, stepper motor controllers and scalers.
In addition a PMC card slot provides access to the wide range of specialist cards.
Each industry pack has a signal conditioning board which allows conditioning and plant isolation to be added.
50-way SCSI II connectors are used so that inexpensive, commercially available cables can be used with Hytec's range of DIN-rail terminal boards for connection to plant wiring.
Five cooling fans are fitted, all controllable remotely or locally with automatic temperature control.
There are also five temperature sensors located in the IOC - each with three set point switches, the state of which can also be observed remotely.
The 9010 IOC provides an all-in-one cost-effective alternative to a VME crate.
