Control Master 

 
 
    The Control Master system by PC Control Ltd. offers an affordable and "easy to use" solution for distributed control. What is distributed control ?
   		 

Its main features are….
-   USB 2.0/1.0 Master Controller with optional 2500v isolation facility
-   Simple two wire link between Master and, up to 30 Slave modules
-   Distance to farthest Slave can be a massive 1Km
-   An ever increasing range of Slave module types to cover most applications
-   Control Master Software for instant control of all attached devices
-   A DLL (Dynamic Link Library) for programmers to write their own programs to access all of the attached slave modules (compatible with most languages C, C++, VB etc)
-   Compatible with Windows XP and Vista
-   The lowest cost control option of its type available

  
   The boards that make up the Control master system are shown below. Click on the image for more information about each board.  
 		  
           
   

Non-Isolated Master Controller
    The job of the Master is to allow the PC to send and receive data to any of the slave boards. Every distributed control system must have one Master Controller. The Master has an on board Microcontroller which is dedicated to performing two main functions..
1. Handling the USB interface to the PC
2. Handling the RS485 serial communications to the slave boards
   There are two different types of Master Controller available. The  “Non-isolated Master” is the simplest form offering a direct connection between the PC (Via USB lead) the Master and the Slave boards.
