Distributed Automation Controller Cuts Cabling Requirements

The DPAC-3000 from ADLINK Technology Inc. is a compact embedded controller for the machine automation industry that offers a distributed control solution for digital and analog I/O and motion control. The controller reduces cabling required by 15% to 20% compared to other Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) solutions.

Equipped with a fast, time-deterministic fieldbus, the standalone DPAC-3000 allows faster installation and comes in a cost-effective and compact form factor. The controller features a rugged embedded platform with a front control panel for system integrators to design their own user control interface, which can be used for a variety of applications, including monitoring purposes, and parameter setting and checking.

The controller features a high shock endurance up to 100G. The company’s DPAC product line features well-integrated motion, I/O, and communications functionality. The DPAC-3000 series combines embedded PC technology and distributed I/O modules to form a compact, vertically mountable, and highly-extendable PAC solution. The controller supports configurations based on the AMD Geode LX800 and Intel Celeron M. The DPAC-3000 will be available on April 30.

 

Distributed automation system SIGMATEK

The modular world of DIAS is multifaceted and opens up almost inexhaustible possibilities. During development, weconcentrate on simple, flexible, safe, inexpensive and, most of all, extremely fast solutions.

Our I/O systems are available in three different series: DIAS, C-DIAS and P-DIAS. All of these product series can be implemented in a modular or decentralized configuration and make a strong impression with their compact design and flexibility. The different series can be combined as desired.

SIGMATEK’s extensive experience has bred a multitude of standard modules.

Highlights DIAS series:
- I/O stations consist of a terminal block and a function module
- Easy exchange of function modules, without having to disconnect the block wiring
- 3-wire connection technology
- Compact design

Highlights C-DIAS series:
- Highly compact design with high package density
- Individual modules simply plugged onto the module carrier
- Fast and simple wiring
- Use of prefabricated cables with connectors
- Comfortable exchange of individual modules

Highlights P-DIAS Series:
- IP67 protection
- Compatible with all other component series
- Time saving connection technology
