Our PR9 line of equipment offers the next-generation in data acquisition and control systems. The product line can handle tasks as simple as remote vehicle data logging, to complex ones such as managing an entire factory with more than 10,000 inputs and outputs. This unrivaled power is coupled with a bulletproof design and simplicity that can get you started up as quickly as possible. For more information regarding the components that make up the PR9 backbone, check out our components section.
We know our products may not lead a pampered life once they're put into use, so we've designed them to withstand anything that's thrown at them.
That's right...our entire line of components is IP68 protected, so it's completely safe from dust and water. An entire PR9 system can function submerged in up to 10m of water. Our products are quality checked completely submersed in water, so you can be assured they will survive anything you throw at them. No need for custom enclosures...just mount them anywhere, pressure wash them whenever you want, and let them do their thing.
All our components are housed in a billet aluminum shell, offering unmatched EMI shielding in noisy environments. Additionally, our complete line of transducers convert signals into a digital format right at the transducer. This allows all communication on the network to be completely digital and immune from interference.
A typical factory can contain hundreds of types of cables, along with dozens of different protocols and software packages. We're here to show you a simpler solution.
Yes, everything from our thermocouple sensors to our 320V servo drives only need three different types of cables: two types of data cables (DATA-1 and DATA-2), and one power cable (POWER-1). Stop hunting down esoteric MIL connectors and stop paying $100+ for proprietary cables. We carry every cable you'll ever need, with most costing only $10-20.
Our GW01 routers have their own web servers built in to them, so you can control everything through the existing web browser on your computer. Our system will work with any computer system you currently have. From UNIX/Linux to MAC to Windows, if your computer has a web browser you can interface with a PR9 network. You never need to install software or drivers to use our products.
Just because our products are easy to use doesn't mean they're not powerful. The PR9 backbone runs on our world-class communication platform, allowing things our competitors can't even dream of.
Our PR9 routers were designed from the beginning to be networked. Each router can handle up to 8 control points; if you need more control points, simply plug another router into the network. A PR9 network can handle up to 100,000 control points, making it large enough to handle anything you've got.
Simply plug a computer into any node on the PR9 backbone, and you can access the entire network. Or, if you've got an existing intranet in your facility, simply plug one of the PR9 routers into your network and you can access the PR9 network from any computer in your facility...or across the globe if you enable remote access.
The PR9 backbone allows extremely complex machines to be built in minutes. Just plug in you sensors and output controllers in the PR9 network, set up the interactions in your web browser, and it's ready to run.
