Overview
Some of the world’s most demanding high-speed control and automation applications run on
standard PCs using BradCommunications™ applicomIO
®
fieldbus interface cards.
Dedicated DCS and PLC systems have been eliminated in favor of open platforms running
PC-based control systems.
The benefits include:
Reduced material costs
Reduced development times
More flexible and customizable systems
Reduced field-support costs
applicomIO products are design so industrial applications can be designed independently of
the fieldbus used.
OEMs, system integrators
and
end-users
can take advantage of
developing standard control applications as well as selecting the fieldbus connectivity
required from the applicomIO product range.
applicomIO products consist of a fieldbus card and engineering tools which quickly and
easily setup communication. EVERYTHING is included for a successful implementation at a
lower cost.
applicomIO provides connectivity support for all popular fieldbuses including
EtherNet/IP,
PROFINET IO, Modbus TCP, PROFIBUS, DeviceNet
and
CANopen.
Our cards are
developed in compliance with the technical specifications of industrial organizations and
comply with the applicable industrial standards. applicomIO supports up to 8 cards in a
single PC and can run on various operating systems including Windows 32-bits, Linux as
well as real-time OS such as VxWorks, QNX, and VenturCom RTX.
Particularly, the applicomIO
®
PCU-ETHIO
network interface card provides high-speed
deterministic communication to exchange data with industrial devices through
Modbus
Ethernet messaging.
The built-in processor handles all the protocol management to offer
reliable and outstanding performance.
The software package includes a common development library for all fieldbuses supported.
The process data is exchanged with the control application through a shared memory where
inputs/outputs are automatically mapped. To monitor the communication between the card
and the control application, the library includes a watchdog feature to automatically detect
software blocking.
