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.

Fifty years on from its invention of the microchip, US company Texas Instruments (TI) has compressed the technology into a surface area of just 4.3mm. As such, it forms the heart of a new Pico Digital Light Processing (DLP) system that is set to transform travel information delivery for millions of users on the move - by making it projectable.

Machine vision technology’s entry into the ITS/traffic management sector has followed a classic top-down path. This is unsurprising given the extremely demanding performance criteria which are the standard in its market of origin, manufacturing processing. Very high image qualities combined with frame rates often in the hundreds per second range resulted in vision systems with capabi
