Motion Engineering Announces Launch of SynqNet® SQIO Modular I/O Family of Products
SQIO delivers flexible bulk I/O solutions for SynqNet networks.
Nürnberg Germany, SPS/IPC/Drives Fair - 23 November 2004 - Motion Engineering, Inc. (MEI) today announced the launch of a new family of modular SynqNet I/O products compatible with any SynqNet network. SQIO product line is comprised of a SynqNet Interface Device (SQID) and flexible analog and digital 'add-on' boards that provides machine builders a modular and cost effective high-count I/O solution. In addition, SQIO can be easily integrated to work with existing machine I/O and is also offered as part of a SynqNet developer kit solution for custom OEM solutions.
"Our goal was to produce a robust SynqNet I/O product that could fulfill a high-count I/O solution for OEMs, and provide a platform that could easily be modified to accommodate existing I/O," said Ross McMillan, SQIO Product Manager. "The fact that machine builders can now implement performance motion and I/O solutions on a single network make this a very attractive solution for further simplifying machine design."
MEI's SQIO products work across any SynqNet network and with any SynqNet motion control platform. The SynqNet I/O product family provides up to 256 digital inputs and outputs and 16 analog inputs and outputs per SynqNet Interface Device (SQID). A total of 32 SQIDs can be installed on a SynqNet network. Diagnostic capabilities of SynqNet allow for firmware / configuration file upgrade on nodes from any remote host computer. Breakout boards on the I/O modules allow for convenient prototyping. All programming is under a single API, and is supported by MEI's extensive library of I/O configuration software, including MotionConsole, MotionScope, and VM3.
SQIO products are available for immediate order and 6-8 week delivery.
