How customers put our I/O to work
Example applications and the I/O products we typically recommend for them.
Factory automation
Machine I/O on a standard PC
- Challenge
- Control and monitoring systems need isolated 12–24 V digital signals without a dedicated controller.
- Contec solution
- DIO-1616LX-USB unit with 16 isolated inputs, 16 isolated outputs and interrupt support on all inputs.
- Why it fits
- Connects over USB, cascades up to 4 units and runs with Windows or Linux drivers.
Industrial IoT
PLC data into IT systems
- Challenge
- Plants run PLCs from several makers and want one way to collect their data.
- Contec solution
- CPS-MG341-ADSC1-931 M2M gateway with a built-in OPC UA server and Modbus support.
- Why it fits
- Reads multi-vendor PLCs and Modbus devices at the same time, plus local digital and analog inputs.
Remote monitoring
Devices spread over a wide area
- Challenge
- Monitoring and control points are too far apart to wire back to one PC.
- Contec solution
- GW1-ETH-WQ-US gateway with Sub-1GHz wireless I/O terminals.
- Why it fits
- Long-distance, multi-hop wireless links, with Modbus TCP for higher-level systems.
Test & measurement
High-speed encoder and pulse counting
- Challenge
- Test stands need to count fast pulses from encoders and sensors without losing data.
- Contec solution
- CNT-3208M-PE PCI Express board with eight 32-bit up/down counters.
- Why it fits
- 10 MHz differential or TTL inputs, quadrature counting and bus master transfer.
Engineered for industry
