I/O Module interfaces automated production lines and LINbus.
Press Release Summary:
Designed for fixed installation on DINrail or in control cabinet, LIN I/O provides interface between automated production lines and LINbus product. Adapter communicates remotely with controller via CAN/24 V DIO and can independently carry out simple sequences. Enabling test device communication via LIN I/O in safe, short-circuit protected manner, product also features internal signal processing of LIN data as well as measurement of current drain for test object.
Original Press Release:
Saelig Introduces LINbus I/O Module
LIN I/O is an interface between automated production lines and a LINbus product
Fairport, NY – Saelig Company, Inc. announces the availability of LIN I/O - a communication adapter designed as an interface between automated production lines and a LINbus product. Designed for fixed installation on a DINrail or in a control cabinet, LIN I/O communicates remotely with a controller either via high-speed CAN and/or 24V digital I/O. Using the LIN I/O, a test device can be communicated via the LIN I/O communications in a safe, short-circuit protected manner.
A unique feature of the LIN I/O is that the current drain of the test object is measured and can be used for evaluation and test purposes. The LIN I/O's internal signal processing can pre-process the LIN data, for example for checking limit values or operation, or for the end-of-line calibration of manufactured devices. The control and automation software can thus be freed up, and the LIN interface can independently carry out simple sequences and deliver - for example - "good/bad" evaluations to the manufacturing line. The LIN I/O module is compatible with the other members of IHR's family of automotive bus tools.
Performance Characteristics of LIN I/O:
- Emulation and Analysis of LIN nodes / LIN subsystems, simulation of bus devices not present
- Wakeup / Sleep
- Event-based signal configuration and sequence control
- LIN bus error recognition, playback via CAN, LED and port
- Uses Visulin PC software for recording and displaying measurement data, and for configuration
- Simple integration into automated test environments (LabView, HP VEE, and others)
Equipment:
- Status display via LED's
- Ohmic bus termination (master/slave/stress/overload) switchable by means of software
- Galvanically separated digital inputs/outputs
- LED status display for digital ports
- 4 analog inputs
- 2 analog outputs, trigger creation
- 1 current measurement channel for current drain of the test object
Optional Accessories:
- Second CAN interface for vehicle bus
- CAN I/O peripheral extension
Made in Germany by IHR (one of - Europe's major CAN and LIN experts) LIN I/O is available now from their authorized USA distributors Saelig Co. Inc.
