Sixnet now offers an easy way for integrators, OEMs or end users to test out Linux IPm industrial technology.
The IPM-Demo-1 is pre-wired and ready to plug in and go.
Highlights include a VersaTrak IPm RTU, ST-MIX16880 combination I/O module, and a 60-day software licence.
The VersaTrak IPm RTU comes with ISaGraf IEC61131-3 and open-source programming as well as Ethernet, four serial ports, more than 32Mbyte of fast memory and a Linux-based industrial PowerPC.
The combination I/O module with its prewired screw terminal base has a total of 16 discrete inputs, eight discrete outputs, and eight analogue inputs.
The unit has a 24V DC industrial power supply and pre-attached AC line cord, along with prewired analogue sensors and discrete switches for simulating inputs.
Everything is conveniently packaged in a compact 14 x 12in rugged NEMA 4X glass-fibre enclosure.
This IPM-Demo-1 also comes complete with full Sixnet software.
The Sixnet I/O Toolkit includes all options and is ready to configure and test your system.
This includes data logging, advanced I/O transfers, export of I/O definitions to the user's favourite HMI/Scada software, plus much more.
The IPM-Demo-1 also includes the IPm Application Development Kit (IADK) which allows users to write their own applications to run in the IPm RTU.
A remote debugger is also provided to perform diagnostics from Linux.
