Fiber Optic ProXR Enhanced with A/D

Fiber Optic Devices have Inherited the Benefits of an Interface that is Easily Changed while Breaking the EMI Barrier Between the Controller and the Interface. Future-Proof for Whatever the Next Generation of Interface Solutions Can Provide.

Fiber optic relay controllers offer a somewhat unconventional and unique solution to many technological challenges brought to us by our customers. We find our controllers subjected to harsh environments without failure. We find our customers working daily in unique switching applications, without failure. And now, we begin to face our largest computer control adversary...head on. Electromagnetic interference disrupts logic circuits of all varieties. It is a menacing problem that can only be equated to the futile attempt of building a computer that runs flawlessly while being struck directly by lightning. While we can never guarantee our products to work in high EMI applications, Fiber Optics advances the capacity of our product line to tolerate more EMI by physically and electrically isolating the computer interface from the controller. This monumental advancement in product evolution will bring us yet another step forward in suppressing EMI.

With the benefits of improved EMI tolerance comes the benefits of building upon a new foundation of controllers that is immune to obsolescence as well. We call it Future Proof because Fiber Optics is the only interface that can guarantee a forward path of computer interface solutions while still maintaining superior EMI tolerance.

Setup and Expansion of our Fiber Optic Series Relay Controllers is Quick and Easy! Connect this expandable Fiber Optic Relay Controller to the Fiber Optic Interface of your choice and eliminate the Electromagnetic Interference between your computer and our relay controller.

About ProXR

Our Fiber Optic controllers are part of the ProXR series controllers. If you have developed software that works with one ProXR controller, than it will be possible to use this same software to control ANY ProXR controller without modification. Fiber Optics is no exception. There are no new protocols to learn, no new issues to resolve. Just simple compatibility, just like every other ProXR controller before it, just like every other ProXR controller after it.

With all the control and backward/forward compatibility you have come to expect from the ProXR series command set, this controller allows you to send simple commands to activate relays, read the status of relays, activate up to 16 relay timers, and control up to 256 total relays using the XR expansion port. All relays are electronically latched, simply send a command to turn the relay on, send a different command to turn the relay off.

A/D Conversion

Analog to Digital Conversion allows you to read voltage levels from 0-5 volts using 8-bit or 10-bit resolution. This is particularly useful for reading temperature sensors (one temperature sensor is built into the board, shared with analog input number 8). A/D Inputs are also useful for reading light level sensors, thermocouples, switch closures, or just about any other kind of sensor you can think of. Built-In Pull-Up/Down Resistors keep the inputs quiet. Eight Different A/D Sample programs are available in the NCD Component Library. These samples are available as a free download and are compatible with Visual Studio. We've got sensors! Visit our Sensor Page for sensors that have been tested and work with all NCD A/D Boards controller.
