Hawk Range
The Hawk range of boards are versatile USB adaptors which allow the PC
user to explore the world of real time control and automation. All boards
in the range are part of a new generation of control boards from
PC-Control which provide the full speed USB 2.0 interface (plus
compatibility with USB1.0). They are tools, which are attractive to both
the novice and experienced user.
They provide a
consistent interface between the PC and a wide range of “real world”
devices to be controlled or monitored. Although the current range of Hawk
board types is limited, this range will continue to expand to incorporate
as many types of device as possible whilst still maintaining an “easy to
use” and “easy to program” development environment. This will provide
users with access to the tools to create their own PC controlled
application in the shortest time with the least amount of effort
Control Master Distributed Control
If you want to control devices and/or take measurements from
sensors which are not necessarily in close proximity to your PC you should
consider a distributed control system. You just need one master controller
board connected to your PC via a USB lead and then you can add a range of
control boards for DC motors, relay control, analogue measurements (eg
temperature, pressure, light etc...) and a million other purposes, which
are connected to the Master by a simple pair of inexpensive wires. What's
more.... they can be up to a massive 1Km from the Master. Using RS485
communications technology you can control up to 30 boards spread
over 1Km directly from your desktop PC
