Modbus & CANopen I/O Expansion Made Easy!
Filed under: Distributed Automation, Signal Conditioning
The ZPC Series is a complete line of I/O Modules with both Modbus RTU and CANopen standard interfaces that do not require any couplers, controllers, or repeaters. All modules have an integrated Modbus RTU/CANopen communications interface at speeds up to 1 Mbps. The ZPC series is the ideal acquisition and control solution for systems where distributed modules over a wide distance are important.
ZPC Modules can be integrated with third party configurators, mater controllers, network managers, and even in existing legacy Modbus/CAN installations. The advantage of not needing a bus coupler or controller dramatically reduced the cost and complexity for small to medium sized installations.
The ZPC family includes optional interface devices including multifunction controllers, gateway/bridge products, fiber optic interfaces, and repeaters. All products are packaged and designed to work seamlessly with the ZPC I/O Modules.

Replace Dozens of Signal Conditioners with One – The UniPak from ioSelect
Filed under: Distributed Automation, Remote Telemetry, Signal Conditioning
The UniPak family provides the latest in Signal Conditioning, isolation, and process functionality available on the market today. Each UniPak product is field configurable for the specific calibration required, eliminating the need to stock several ‘fixed range’ units to support your system requirements.
The work horse of the UniPak family is the UP488. The UP488 can accept a variety of input types (DC V or I, TC, RTD, Pot, or Resistance) and provide a linearized DC (mA or V) output proportional (or inversely proportional) to the input signal. The UP488 can be configured either by push buttons, DIP switches, PC software, or with the handheld UniCal Universal Calibrator. This one unit can satisfy more than 80% of most signal conditioning requirements all with a single (on the shelf) unit. For the other 20% of the applications, there are a handful of wide-ranging UniPak products that specifically address these needs: including conditioners for strain gage Inputs, AC voltage or current, frequencies, and specialty functions such as DC splitters, add/subtract modules, and a range of alarm trip units with 1, 2, or 3 configurable set points. In the end, there are literally thousands of possibilities with one cohesive family of products.

New CPU Module extends performance of Kingfisher RTU systems
ioSelect introduces new extensions to the popular Kingfisher Series II family of products. The CP-12 processor module features a high performance CPU and three communications ports, two of which are plug-in options. A broad variety of such options enables compatibility with practically any SCADA network. For high-availability requirements, the CP-12 also supports processor redundancy. It is compatible with the Toolbox32 programming environment as well as the prior-generation, CP-11 processor.
The MC-12 is an intelligent, communications processor that allows expansion up to three ports per module. Like the CP-12, two of the three ports are plug-in options, which allow significant flexibility in communications networking. Using multiple communications processor modules, a Kingfisher Plus+ RTU can expand to 16 ports.
Semaphore’s Kingfisher RTU series is based on an advanced, automation technology platform for SCADA applications. When equipped with the CP-30 processor, Kingfisher is the only RTU line that features an embedded programming environment that is compliant with both IEC 61131-3 and 61499 as well as an enhanced DNP3 protocol suite, security platform, complete array of communications networks and advanced functionality including redundancy. Kingfisher Plus+ is a modular RTU that offers expansion up to 16 communications ports and 1024 I/O points.
ioSelect’s Kingfisher products are ideal for a broad range of monitoring and control applications in the broadcast / telecom, infrastructure management, oil & gas, power, transportation and water / wastewater industries.
