Traditionally these systems rely on dedicated serial connections that
can be expensive to implement, and inconvenient to service. Further, for
device-intense systems, computers are no longer available with enough
standard serial ports to meet application requirements. Further, when
serial ports are available, they often lack the speed, and industrial
protections required to adequately function in often harsh and demanding
industrial environments.
What is the most reliable way to enhance performance for industrial
systems? Quatech Device Servers lead the industry with the most powerful processor and the lowest latency
available for device networking solutions. Easy to install and configure,
our device networking product line is integrator friendly, offering easy
to install and configure wired and wireless options with one to eight
ports. Because of its ultra low latency, Quatech is now the number
1 provider of device networking technology for CNC/DNC Programming
systems.
Quatech device connectivity solutions provide desktop and standalone
systems with additional RS-232 and RS-422/485 serial ports via convenient USB serial adapters--either in the form
of a desktop unit or as a lower-cost embedded card with standard surge
suppression. Quatech serial boards offer the same functionality for a wide range of desktop, rack mount,
and standalone systems. Quatech PCMCIA cards are ideal solutions for mobile testing, providing
robust RS-232 and RS-422/485 connectivity for handheld and laptop computers.
Available in synchronous and asynchronous versions, Quatech cards provide
industry leading data rates, and are available in ruggedized version ideal
for harsh environments.
Industrial Automation and Control Case Study
Shredding Paper Punch Tapes: Paine Machine Tool Turns to Quatech
for CNC/DNC Solution
Read it now!
Paine Machine Tool
had a customer in desperate need of a technology upgrade. This customer
had 16 CNC machines, but was still using paper punch tapes to load the
CNC programs to each machine. Backup punch tapes were stored in filing
cabinets, in little plastic boxes. The company converted its programs
into electronic files, but it still needed a way to store the files, call
them up by part number, and load the programs on individual machines. Quatech Device Servers provide an ideal solution.
