End-users are increasingly eliminating the use of dedicated DCS (Distributed
Control Systems) and PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers) in favour of PC-
based platforms for control and/ or visualization of their high-speed custom
systems for automation and process-control applications.
applicomIO is a turnkey, all-in-one solution ideal for customers with no/
limited knowledge in fieldbus technology. The applicomIO network interface
card (NIC), configuration software, development libraries and data servers
are provided in one complete package for successful, cost-effective
implementation. applicomIO NICs are designed independently of the
fieldbus used. Customers can take advantage of developing standard control
applications as well as selecting the fieldbus connectivity required from
the applicomIO product range. applicomIO configuration software provides
an user-friendly environment for quick development of communication
applications without the worry of knowing industrial communication protocols.
Time-saving commissioning is supported by features such as automatic device
detection, user configuration management, diagnostic information.
Brad applicomIO network interface cards provide connectivity for all popular
fieldbuses including EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, PROFIBUS, DeviceNet
and CANopen in various form factors. applicomIO supports up to 8 cards in a
single PC and can run on various operating systems including Windows, Linux
as well as real-time OS such as VxWorks and RTX.
