Touch screen Pentium aimed at shop floor use
Due to its compact size, ruggedized aluminum enclosure and high-grade protection (IP65), the PowerVision TFT-Touch Pentium based industrial PC-workstation is aimed at shop floor use.
Most compact IP65 PCs yet claim
Two new Micronix PowerVision TFT pentium based industrial PC-workstations have been designed for machine control systems in hostile industrial environments.
The PV-1608 module plugs into any standard PC/-104 bus interface and provides you with 16 digital opto-isolated inputs and 8 digital high power opto-isolated outputs.
Non-Stack-through or stackthrough (S-versions) connectors are available.
Supplied with drivers for Windows 95/98 and NT.
Ready-made cable connections are available as option.
Application examples: .
Industrial signals ON/OFF monitoring .
Limit switch monitoring .
Valve/Solenoid drive output .
Relay, lamp, display drivers 16 opto-isolated digital inputs, 10-30 V.
It provides 16 channels of input to detect bipolar ON/OFF, OPEN/CLOSE signals and has interrupt capability on its first two channels.
The input range is from 10V to 30V suitable for many applications.
The isolation voltage is up to 1000 Vrms from the input to the host.
This feature causes voltage spikes that often occur in harsh industrial environments to be safely isolated from the computer.
8 opto-isolated digital outputs, 1.5 A The PV-1608 board has 8 opto-isolated outputs with low impedance MOS transitors allow loads up to 1.5A per channel.
It allows control of up to 8 devices like solenoids, pneumatic- or hydraulic val-ves, motor starters, etc.
The output status can be read back by reading the same address for verification.
The output is available as either NPN or PNP.
