Sensor System provides EtherNet/IP(TM) and CAN bus interfaces.
Press Release Summary:
Supporting range of automation and research applications, Network Force/Torque (Net F/T) Sensor System measures 6 components of force and torque (Fx, Fy, Fz, Tx, Ty, Tz). It can be connected to LAN for remote operation and monitoring, and has output rates up to 7,000 Hz for 6 axes of measurement over Ethernet using UDP. System features programmable thresholding, built-in status indicators, overload protection, tool transformations, temperature compensation, and high signal-to-noise ratio.
Original Press Release:
ATI Releases the Network Force/Torque (Net F/T) Sensor System
The Net F/T provides an EtherNet/IP(TM) and CAN bus communication interface for ATI's Transducers
Apex, NC, July 11, 2008
ATI Industrial Automation has just released the Network Force/Torque (Net F/T) Sensor System. The Net F/T System measures six components of force and torque (Fx, Fy, Fz, Tx, Ty, Tz) and provides an EtherNet/IP(TM) and CAN bus communication interface, and is compatible with standard Ethernet. The Net F/T system is available with all of ATI's Force/Torque Transducer models.
Product Advantages
o Multiple Interfaces: Ethernet, EtherNet/IP and CAN bus, to support a wide range of automation and research applications.
o LAN Connectivity: The Net F/T can be easily connected to your Local Area Network (LAN) allowing for easy remote operation and monitoring.
o High-speed output: Output rates up to 7000 Hz for six axes of measurement over Ethernet (using UDP).
o Web-based Configuration and Demo: The Net F/T is configurable via a web interface, allowing the user to view and change system settings using a web browser. An easily accessible Java(TM) demonstration application provides a graphical view of six-axis measurements in real time.
o Other Advantages: Programmable Thresholding, Built-in Status Indicators, Overload Protection, Tool Transformations, Temperature Compensation and High signal-to-noise ratio.
