CORAL-8741-128 Embedded SCADA Unit (7 slot/128 IO tags) Measurement Systems

CORAL-8741-128 Embedded SCADA Unit (7 slot/128 IO tags)

The CORAL-8741-128 solution consists of the CORAL unit with a 7 slot backplane for plug-in I/O Cards and a SCADA Package which will handle up to 512 I/O tags. The software also includes 12 independent logfiles, 512 User Defined Analog Channels (for setpoints etc), 512 User Defined Digitals Channels (for virtual switches etc) and 512 Derived Calculator Channels for data manipulation. A single driver is included while various additional drivers are available as options.

The 3 Slot unit is ideal for applications that need no local I/O connections. It is to be used with other devices or if the data acquisition is needed closer to sensors that are spaced a distance apart. In this scenario you would use a distributed I/O system such as the I-7000 range. This could include use of ZigBee Converters or I/O units to provide a wireless network.

NOTE: This is just an example combination. CORAL is fully scalable and can be configured for specific requirements.
