Flexibility Features
CPCC flexibility has three main elements:
- The CPCC unit is a flexible and robust technology solution –
adaptable, ready made and advanced PC connection with custom software
and custom electronics. The unit is easily customized and modified with
custom built software and hardware to meet your application demands.
- Usually PC connection devices, to reach communication speed, must
be connected directly in to a PCI bus, inside the PC case or rack –
with limited space, restricting the numbers of channels. Any additional
channels will multiply the cost significantly but you are still limited
by the power of a single PC. We have resolved this technology problem
by using USB2.0 serial PC connection.
WHY USB2.0?
- Very high-speed, serial bi-directional PC communication running
up to 480 Megabits.
- Hot plug-in, while PC is working. No need to restart your PC, the
CPCC runs immediately.
- Flexible connection. PC cable length up to 5 metres. Ease of access
to plugging-in connectors.
- CPCC Unit is located outside the PC. Therefore the physical size
is unlimited and it can be a very small or a very large unit, dependent
upon the number and type of connectors/channels used with your application.
- One PC can run up to 128 CPCC units simultaneously dependent on
the application speed.
- USB cables are easily available from any PC shop and it is a tried
and trusted standard link for PC peripherals.
- We are able to run simultaneously several PC’s by CPCC in the
same time frame just for your application, thus massively increasing
your processing power for a reasonable cost. Each PC can have one or
more CPCU Units at the same time. For this application please refer
