Designed to enable displayed data to be read over long distances, the BDF series are large four or six digit displays with 50 (2in) or 100mm (4in) high LEDs.
SBC Incorporates Celeron Pentium II Processor
A new generation single board computer, which incorporates the state-of-the-art Celeron Pentium II, is now available from Amplicon Liveline.
Housed in a rugged, stackable aluminium enclosure they include dual power connections and a communications watchdog for enhanced system reliability.
Each model includes a built-in switch that provides dual Ethernet ports.
This enables redundant communications compatible with STP, RSTP and proprietary schemes with two 10/100 Base-T copper ports.
Alternatively, one copper and one multi-mode fibre port can be selected for longer distance communications.
Like the Acromag 900EN series of Ethernet-based distributed I/O modules, the EtherStax I/O uses Modbus/TCP for communication with LANs or WANs.
Peer-to-peer i2o communication allows the inputs of one EtherStax I/O device to automatically update the outputs of another over the Ethernet.
A change of state detection can be transmitted in less than 5ms between EtherStax I/O blocks.
Amplicon is the sole UK distributor for Acromag's range of process instruments.
John Hayward, Product Manager, Measurement and Control Group, commented: "The new EtherStax I/O provides an extremely fast process interface for monitoring and control of 96 discrete I/O lines, at a very competitive price per channel".
