Active Ethernet I/O servers compatible with NI LabVIEW 8

MOXA has announced that its ioLogik E2000 Active Ethernet I/O servers are compatible with NI LabVIEW 8. Active ethernet I/O is a powerful new concept in remote data acquisition where I/O events trigger customised messages that are instantly sent to host computers. Active Ethernet I/O supports traditional Modbus/TCP for maximum compatibility with existing applications.

97 Moxa has announced that its ioLogik E2000 Active Ethernet I/O servers are compatible with NI LabVIEW 8. Active ethernet I/O is a powerful new concept in remote data acquisition where I/O events trigger customised messages that are instantly sent to host computers. Active Ethernet I/O supports traditional Modbus/TCP for maximum compatibility with existing applications.

As MOXA points out, whereas I/O servers are traditionally passive and must be polled for data, the Active Ethernet I/O server reports and controls I/O status based on user-specified conditions. This report-by-exception approach, new to PC-based I/O monitoring, is claimed to require far less bandwidth than traditional polling methods. Critical sensor data can be obtained immediately instead of being subject to polling intervals.

    Radar can have distinct advantages in some transport-related situations as Colin Sowman found out during a visit to Navtech Radar. Despite tremendous advances in machine vision techniques, the accuracy and reliability of camera-based detection systems suffer during periods of poor visibility where other technologies may offer an alternative. Radar is one such technology. It too has seen significant development in recent years and according to Navtech Radar, the technology can often fulfil detection and moni
