Best Choice for controlling I/O over PROFINET IO

Overview

Some of the world’s most demanding high-speed control and automation applications run on

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.

deterministic communication to exchange data with industrial devices through PROFINET IO

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.

environment for quick development of communication applications without the worry of

knowing industrial communication protocols. The console saves time during the

commissioning phase by offering features such as automatic device detection, user

configuration management, diagnostic information, etc.

The product includes:

Fieldbus interface card

Engineering console for configuration and diagnostics

Data Servers (OPC DA v3.0 & v2.05, Wonderware DAServer and

FastDDE/SuiteLink)

Development Libraries: Windows (DLL), NI (LabView), VenturCom (RTX)

Static library for non-windows OS (VxWorks, QNX, Linux, etc)

interface cards provide powerful and reliable data

acquisition for PC-based control and visualization

applications.
