CAN Interface Device
CAN Interface Devices communicate using onboard transceivers for High-Speed/Flexible Data-Rate, Low-Speed/Fault-Tolerant, and/or Single-Wire CAN as well as any external transceiver. Using the NI-XNET driver, you can create applications that require real-time, high-speed manipulation of hundreds of CAN frames and signals. You can also import, edit, and use signals from Fieldbus Exchange Format (FIBEX) and Database Container (DBC) files in integrated CAN databases. The NI-XNET device-driven DMA engine enables the onboard processor to move CAN frames and signals between the interface and the user program without CPU interrupts, minimizing message latency and freeing host processor time.

CMOS Type Micro Laser Distance Sensor
HG-C1000L
Panasonic Industrial Devices Sales Company of America
The IO-Link technology makes it possible to continuously collect and process data and to control the HG-C1000L. This allows users to implement predictive maintenance and to monitor the operation in machines and assembly lines. Processing the multitude of data requires users to invest know-how and time. To reduce the workload for the customers, Panasonic has developed a self-diagnosis function specifically for this sensor. This function sends sensor data via IO-Link to a higher-level fieldbus, thus informing about the state of the sensor directly. This way, the amount of production data and the work needed to analyze the data is reduced.

Field Communicators
We offer modular multi-bus field communicators for HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 and Profibus PA protocols, combined in some of our process calibrators. While the communicator is built in the same device with the process calibrator, they can communicate seamlessly offering better user experience than separate calibrator and communicator. Plus you only need to carry one device. Thanks to the modularity you can select which protocol you take, and update more protocols later on, if needed.
