Industrial I/O System

The EDAS CE is part of a new generation of industrial Ethernet I/O systems. Isolated digital and analog I/O, 10/l00BaseT Ethernet, Windows CE, Visual C++, and Visual Basic development all in one industrial modular package make this system the ideal solution for a wide range of monitoring and control applications in todayıs open architecture manufacturing environment.

The system provides from eight to 128 channels of isolated analog and digital I/O with built-in l0/l00BaseT Ethernet and a CPU running the Windows CE 3.0 operating system. Networked and distributed monitoring and control applications can be implemented using Microsoftıs free embedded Visual Tools. The built-in networking, including a TCP/IP stack, allows applications to communicate with other computers and other similar units on your network as part of a plant-wide control and monitoring solution. The system can support up to 460 MB of nonvolatile storage, allowing it to be used in stand-alone data logging, data acquisition systems, or to continue operating and logging data in the event of a network disruption.

The unit enables a single system to function as both the machine and process control system, and to also function as the machine monitoring system, providing real-time and processing information to the companyıs manufacturing execution systems. The system supports many networking standards including TCP/IP, UDP, SNMP, DHCP, and time synchronization.

The EDAS CE system starts at $1,190. A system configured with eight digital inputs, four digital outputs, and 16 analog inputs costs $2,010.
