DeviceNet solutions: High performance DeviceNet master, various I/O and intelligent gateways
ICP DAS has been developing DeviceNet series products for a long period. And continually released the DeviceNet products include PCI boards, intelligent gateway modules, various DeviceNet I/O modules and high performance DeviceNet master modules for ICP DAS’s PAC series controllers. Those products not only provide high performance and cost effective solutions, but also help users to accomplish various DeviceNet applications which especially in harsh environment.
Application short stories:
IC Inspection Machine
The IC inspection process is necessary for good quality control. Though PLCs are cheap and stable, IC inspection is a difficult task for a PLC. The customer uses a PC plus a camera together with a PISO-DNS100U to perform the IC inspection, and uses a PLC to control the mechanism used to reject defective ICs. After completing the inspection, the PC writes the result to the PISO-DNS100U. Because the PLC is used as a DeviceNet master, it can easily retrieve the information from the PISO-DNS100U via the DeviceNet network.
Semiconductor Gas Detection System
In semiconductor manufacturing facilities, a large numbers of poisonous and inflammable gases are commonly used in various processes. In order to ensure employee safety, gas detectors are routinely installed to detect the gas concentration near the Lithography or Photographic Etching facilities. In this case, the customer uses a combination of WP-8441 and I-8124W modules as the DeviceNet master in order to obtain the concentration level information from the gas detectors. In addition, the on-duty personnel can continuously monitor the air quality via the touch screen of the WP-8441.
