ICP DAS shows his new and smart products again on two exhibitions in the Mainland of China
 
 
In June 2005, ICP DAS participated in the 9th FAPA held in Beijing and the 9th IAC in Shanghai.

On these two exhibitions, ICP DAS decorated his exhibition zone with his own traditional color ˇĐbright orangeˇAvery impressive; and boldly opened out the slogan of ˇ§No understanding PAC means out of fashionˇ¨. Particularly for the PAC promotion activities, ICP DAS drew a large crowd of visitors, most of them were PLC vendors and PAC users, which approved again that ICP DAS was a leading brand of PAC.

ICP DAS focused on showing several embedded solutions with PAC concept. The product lines covered the embedded industrial automatic control platform with built-in Windows CE, Linux or DOS operation system. While the international manufacturers provide PAC products sequently, ICP DAS has launched the WinCon-8000 industrial automatic control platform which integrated 32-bit RISC processor and RTOS with powerful functions built-in. The WinCon-8000 collects the advantages of Windows CE.net OS and the powerful functions, including the I/O signal control, remote monitoring and man-machine interface, etc. Besides, I-8000, I-7188 and WinCon-8000 products all can support the standard industrial communication protocol to change data between different equipments. As the embedded Linux operation system being popular, ICP DAS also put the LinCon-8000 control unit on exhibition this time; itˇ¦s hardware is similar to WinCon series but can support USB Web camera; consequently, LinCon-8000 takes the advantages of industrial computer and control unit together.

In the new product exhibition zone, ICP DAS demonstrated the new FRnet and EKAN technologies. FRnet is a two-line serial communication mode; the hardware-wiring configuration is similar to RS-485 that applies multi-drop mode. FRnet supplies periodical scan and active transmission mode to implement data transmission rather than using the conventional question/answer mode. Since this method does not need CPU time to handle communication protocol, therefore, FRnet can be used as high-speed and periodic data transmission. If we use this product as the I/O interface of embedded control unit, it will read/write data by memory-mapped I/O mode, which makes the programming work simpler and easier as not need time to process communication , furthermore it will be able to guarantee fixed scanning time. Thus, the FRnet technology can provide the advantage of remote high-speed communication, control and wire-saving practice.

Another unique development made by ICP DAS is to combine the LED display and open-type control unit. The EKAN series of displays on exhibition used I-7188 as the core of control system; users can use EKAN as a control unit which has been integrated automatic developing software, LED display and Ethernet port. Besides, ICP DAS has provided prosperous function library and developing tools making users integrate EKAN into the current system easily.

In ICP DAS conventional advantage product exhibition zone˘w˘wabout distributed remote I/O module and data acquisition product, ICP DAS demonstrated the M-7000 series which can support Modbus RTU communication protocol and PCI- & ISA-bus data acquisition cards. The former one lets users easily integrate the SCADA/HMI or PLC into system, and the later one provides highly price/performance options to customers.
Through these two exhibitions 2005, ICP DAS has been set up an image of professional manufacturer and provider in the industrial automation field; it also has enhanced the confidence of being the PAC leading vendor in (Mainland) China for ICP DAS.
