Associated with
the sensor on a
one-to-one basis
Performs
measurements
and outputs the
result.
Personal
computer
Allows making advanced settings and
checking up measured values easily using
exclusive personal computer software.
Accessory for the Controller
ZW-C10T/C15T.
Measurement data can be easily loaded
into a PLC or personal computer through
Ethernet connections.
The Controller can be remotely controlled
from a personal computer; including switching
between or changing setting data and entering
measuring triggers.
(Communication with multiple devices
simultaneously cannot be achieved via Ethernet.)
Various Controller operations,
including, taking measured values
and judgment results, switching
between or changing setting data
or entering measuring triggers, are
available.
Displaying analog signals in
waveform from measured values
or judgment results in color is
available.
Analog output
Outputting measured values
or judgment results at a high
speed in parallel is available.
Parallel output (note3)
The system receives
trigger signals to
control measuring
timings.
Prepare commercially available Ethernet cable
satisfying the following requirements:
- Category 5e or more, 30 m or less
- RJ45 connector (8-pin modular jack)
- For direct connection: Select cross cable.
- For connection through a network hub: Select straight
cable.
