Advantech’s EKI-2526PI PoE (Power over Ethernet) switches received Application of Electronics Technique”s (ATE) “Best Product of 2009″ award in Network and Communication for its reliable and easy-to-uses capabilities for industrial automation.
Advantech offers a variety of PoE switches. This technology allows devices to supply and be supplied power through Ethernet cables. This streamlines the installation and maintenance process, as well as saving cost of having to install power wiring, thus saving time and money – an ideal solution for many industrial applications. This PoE capability makes IP cameras and wireless access points more convenient. These devices allow users to remove power wiring, plugs and converters, reducing costs and simplifying network configuration and expansion. They can improve plant safety in case of power failure. They are designed to withstand high temperatures and transient ESP, making them one of the most resilient industrial devices on the market.
Advantech also introduces:
UNO-3084 – A powerful new fanless Dual-core Embedded Automation Computer with IEEE-1394 and front accessible I/O design. It can act as a:
- PCB Machine Controller through its dual DVI-I interface which displays control software and handles vision inspection processing.
- Machine Vision Inspection Controller with its dual-core computing power, dual DVI-I interface, 3 x PCI and 1 x PCIe expansion slots to connect different camera interfaces in order to deal with large data volumes and 3D output.
- Automated Warehouse System Controller in which it can build a redundant ring to ensure information transmission safety and allow connection with PLC devices through Fieldbus card interface or other interface expansion cards for different applications, including motion and digital I/O.
PPC-L61T – A 6.5″ fanless panel PC w/AMD Geode LX800 processor for small interface applications, such as Human Machine Interface (HMI) or Multifunctional Products (MFD). It is highly reliable since it incorporates a low power CPU that doesn’t need a cooling fan. It is especially suitable for environments such as chemical and food processing plants, due to its aluminum , thus making this interface suitable for long-term solutions. It comes with an embedded OS for faster application development, so driver development and customization of images doesn’t slow down project implementation.
PCM-3680I – 2Port-CAN-bus PCI-104 Communication Module – It has isolation protection ensuring system reliability by protecting your data from damage and is designed for connection control units and transmissions in automation applications. CAN enable real-time data transmission and error detections. When errors accidentally occur, CAN networks automatically repeat transmission, this drastically reducing data loss and providing higher levels of security. With its reliable connections, it is a desirable solution under imperfect circumstances, such as shock or vibration.
EKI-1121L & 1122L – ARM-based Programmable Gateway with Class 1, Division 2 Approval – Features pre-installed embedded Linux operating system for user-developed communications, monitoring and control applications. A cost effective, user-programmable solution for remotely monitoring and control of serial connected assets. Ideal for protocol conversion and store-and-forward data collection gateways. Ideal for demanding environments since it is designed to withstand extreme shock and vibration.
ARK-3440 – Industrial Computer with Fanless Intel Core i7 Platform – This totally fanless system is suited for processor-intensive applications, including surveillance, machine control and image processing, and it has an IP rating of 40.
