Automation Products

These USB-based ultra-compact remote I/O systems are optimal for use in any environment (such as laboratories) where computers and I/O modules are placed close to each other. They allow you to design a remote I/O system using the I/O controller (USB interface) and device modules as easily as designing one using controller boards and computer cards. Also, by using an off-the-shelf USB hub, you can connect up to 127 I/O controller modules to a single host computer for central control. The method of interfacing with each device can be either independent or in combination with any of the diverse I/O device modules (digital input/output, analog input/output, counter input) listed on Page P-04.

The USB I/O controller modules are used in combination with corresponding device modules (to a maximum of 8 modules). The combined modules are called the I/O Controller Unit.

• I/O controller module [CPU-CA10(USB)GY]

This module receives and transmits control and monitoring information with the host PC using standard USB. It also enables signal I/O processing by connecting with one of the many device modules. Please refer to |t^)2>V for details.

• Device modules

Device modules monitor and control external devices. Modules include digital input / output, analog input / output and counter input. Please refer to for the modules that can be used in this

• Power supplies

CONTEC dedicated power supplies allow for selection according to available power input and required power output. Please refer to for details.

• By using CONTEC's API-function driver library [API-USBP(WDM)]*_! you can easily use the the I/O controller unit to monitor and control external devices from a host PC.

• Included with I/O controller module [CPU-CA10(USB)GY].

Ethernet-based

I/O devices are added by using the 'stacking' connection on the sides of the modules. The connection is set in place by a safety lock mechanism that prevents the components from accidentally becoming disconnected.

The DIN rail mounting mechanism is compliant with standard general-purpose 35mm DIN rail, allowing for easy installation. Installation and removal can be accomplished with nothing more than a straight slot screwdriver.
