I/O Modules, cards and boards are used to accept data (input) from computers, sensors, transducers, PLCs, etc., and then distribute the data (output) to other devices in the system.
IEEE 1394 products, FireWire® use an interface standard developed by Apple Computer and adopted by the the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for very fast digital data transfers. FireWire is a registered trademark of Apple Computer, Inc.
Parallel industrial communications computer boards are boards or ports that transmit character data (byte) by sending the bits down parallel electrical paths simultaneously.
Serial communication adapters provide one or more serial ports to a host computer. They interface with the host computer via a data bus and add RS232, RS422, RS485 and/or other types of serial ports.
Serial communication products are used in industrial and commercial systems to transmit data bit-by-bit, or sequentially, over a single wire. They include serial servers, serial hubs, serial adapters, serial data converters, serial routers, and serial multiplexers.
Serial hubs allow the transparent connectivity of serial devices such as instruments, point-of-sale (POS) terminals, and barcode printers with LANs and WANs.
USB products is a general search form that covers a wide range of devices that use the universal serial bus (USB) standard. USB products include host controllers, adapters, hard drives, CD-ROM drives, hubs, modems, faxes, and routers.
