Cost effective remote monitoring and control

The Idam 7000 series of remote data acquisition modules provide an extremely simple and cost effective solution to allow any PC equipped with a serial port to carry out monitoring and control applications. Each module has an on board microprocessor for control and communication is carried out over a two-wire RS485 communication link at datarates up to 115Kbit/s and distances of up to 1250m. A serial command and response protocol makes control of the modules extremely easy from any high-level language under any operating system. A simple setup utility for DOS and Windows is provided free with the modules and DLL or DDE drivers are also available. Analogue input modules are available to monitor thermocouples, RTDs, voltage and current signals. Readings are automatically converted into engineering format and transmitted to the host computer on request. Output modules give either voltage or current outputs with microprocessor controlled slew rate. In addition to the analogue modules, a selection of digital I/O modules provide high voltage input, open collector and relay outputs. Where applicable, the 7000 series modules are compatible with the Adam 4000, Nudam 6000 and Quatech 8000 types. In addition the Idam 8000 series is now available providing plug-in compatibility with the Adam 5000 range.
Applications that require localised intelligent control are ideally suited to the I-7188 series embedded controllers which are based around the AMD 80188 40MHz CPU, running Datalight ROM DOS as the operating system.

Libraries and demonstration programmes are supplied allowing applications to be produced on a standard desktop PC in Quick Basic, Turbo C or Microsoft C and then downloaded into Flash ROM on the module using the utility programme provided. These palm sized modules are equipped with watchdog timer, real-time clock and four serial ports on-board making them ideal for any embedded control or monitoring application where a powerful and flexible processor module is required. As standard they are supplied with 256Kbyte SRAM, 256Kbyte Flash ROM (512Kbyte optional) and 2Kbyte EEPROM. Versions with a seven-segment display are also available to allow localised monitoring.
