Products for the Beginner / Intermediate user
If you are new to computer automation but are keen to
learn by actual hands on experience then this range of our products will
suit you. They are designed to make your first experience of a PC control
system educational and rewarding. The control boards simply plug into a
standard USB port and do not require any device driver loading for Windows
systems (i.e. the relevant drivers are already a standard part of
Windows). A fully working software application is supplied with each
control board to enable you to create a fully automated system without the
need for any programming. Once you have achieved a working system in
your chosen area (eg motor control, sensor measurement, device switching
etc...) or you are already a competent programmer you can continue to
develop your system by writing your own programs for the same control board. A DLL
function library is provided to make this task much easier. Debugging your
own software is made much easier having already verified the hardware was
fully functional using the supplied application software
Products for the Intermediate / Advanced User
This range of products is aimed more at the student,
control engineer or computer programmer who needs to get into the world of
computer automation for a particular task / project. Although fully
working software applications are provided with all boards to get a manual
control system up and running quickly, the final system is envisage as
being written in the users favoured programming language (eg C, C++,
Visual Basic etc...). To this end comprehensive libraries of DLL
functions are provided to make the process of writing your own software
much easier. Source code of fully working examples written for each of
these boards is included on the installation disk with each
board. All boards in this range use the USB 2.0 standard.
Accessories
No matter at what level you are constructing your automation
project you will need certain accessories to provide the required level of
functionality. Although we only have a fairly modest section of accessories,
providing motors and cables etc.. we expect this section to grow steadily
and provide the control system builder with the most common devices and
components at a reasonable price with the confidence that they have been
tested for compatibility with our range of control boards. |
