Orbit Network System

                    



Orbitis Solartron’s High Speed RS485 (1.5 MB) network with ‘plug and go’ functionality.
Any Orbit compatible Transducer, Probe, Encoder (rotary or linear) I/O Module or Analogue Input Module can be used in any position and each is automatically given a unique address.

Connection can be made to the following Orbit compatible products:

 

Datasheets

Orbit Network Card

Digital Input/Output Module (DIOM)

Eight general purpose input/output lines per module housed in a standard Orbit PIE case
Multiple modules can be connected to each system

Analogue Input Module (AIM)

Interface module to enable almost any third party sensor with DC Voltage or Current output such as Pressure, Temperature, Force etc. to communicate with Orbit Network

Encoder Input Module (EIM)

Interface module to enable third party rotary or linear encoders to work within the Orbit Network, especially useful where linear measurements need to be performed with reference to an angular position
Supports differential square wave signals from encoders with TTL open collector or pushpull outputs

Happy light
Connected to the last T-Con of the Orbit Network
Gives indication when data is being transmitted
Gives indication that DC supply voltage is within specification for the Orbit Network to operate correctly


Power Supply Interface Module (PSIM)

For use with multi channel systems needing more power than is available from a PC or PLC
Also enables the Network to extend beyond the normal 10m per port to up to 1km

Orbit Excel Support Pack

The Orbit Excel Support Pack enables the user to take readings from the Orbit Network and place values into the cells of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet
