Control Master Distributed Control System for the PC




	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. MORE INFO

		Isolated Master Controller The Isolated Master Controller does exactly the same job as the Non-Isolated Master described above, but has the benefit of isolating your PC from all external voltages up to 2500v MORE INFO

		Digital Input / Output Slave The Digital I/O Slave provides 8 standard digital inputs and 8 high voltage switching outputs which can each switch up to 50v at 500mA . MORE INFO

		Relay Slave The Relay Slave provides 8 standard digital inputs and 8 Changeover type relay outputs. The contact rating of each of the relay outputs is 240vAC / 30vDC at 6A. . MORE INFO

		Motor Slave The Motor Slave provides both speed and direction control for two DC motors rated at up to 36v and a massive 6A. . MORE INFO

		Analogue Input / Output Slave The Analogue I/O Slave provides 8 analogue inputs which are digitised to a full 10bit resolution, 1 standard digital input and 8 high voltage switching outputs which can each switch up to 50v at 500mA . MORE INFO

		Control Master Software Included with the purchase of all of the above boards is the Control Master Software which allows full control of all attached boards from the PC. A DLL function library is also provided for programmers to write their own code very easily. . MORE INFO

	Compatible with Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7
