LATEST PRODUCTS PRODUCT SUPPORT COMPANY INFORMATION Products DATA SHEET Opto 22 produces a broad array of reliable, flexible hardware and Form 960-010126 software products for industrial automation, remote monitoring, enterprise data acquisition, and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. SNAP Ethernet Systems Based on the Internet Protocol (IP), SNAP Ethernet systems offer flexibility in their network connectivity and in the software applications they work with. The physical network may be a wired Ethernet network, a cellular wireless network, or a modem. A wide variety of software applications can exchange data with SNAP Ethernet systems, including: * Opto 22's own ioProjectTM suite of control and HMI software * Manufacturing resource planning (MRP), enterprise management, and other enterprise systems * Human-machine interfaces (HMIs) * Databases * Email systems * OPC client software * Custom applications * Modbus/TCP software and hardware. SNAP Ethernet system hardware consists of controllers and I/O units. Controllers provide central control and data distribution. I/O units provide local connection to sensors and equipment. SNAP OEM Systems Opto 22 SNAP OEM I/O systems are highly configurable, programmable processors intended for OEMs, IT professionals, and others who need to use custom software with Opto 22 SNAP I/O modules. Linux(R) applications running on these systems can read and write to analog, simple digital, and serial I/O points on SNAP I/O modules using easily implemented file-based operations. Applications can be developed using several common development tools and environments, including C or C++, Java, and shell scripts. M2M Systems Machine-to-machine (M2M) systems connect your business computer systems to the machines, devices, and environments you want to monitor, control, or collect data from. M2M systems often use wireless cellular communications to link remote facilities to central systems over the Internet, or to provide monitoring and control capability via a cellular phone. Opto 22's NvioTM systems include everything you need for M2M-- interface and communications hardware, data service plan, and Web portal--in one easy-to-use package. Visit nvio.opto22.com for more information. INTERFACES TRADITIONAL STAND ALONE ADAPTER CARDS Opto 22 Software Opto 22's ioProject and FactoryFloor(R) software suites provide full-featured and cost-effective control, HMI, and OPC software to power your Opto 22 hardware. These software applications help you develop control automation solutions, build easy-to-use operator interfaces, and expand your manufacturing systems' connectivity. page 3/2 Quality In delivering hardware and software solutions for worldwide device management and control, Opto 22 retains the highest commitment to quality. We do no statistical testing; each product is made in the U.S.A. and is tested twice before leaving our 160,000 square-foot manufacturing facility in Temecula, California. That's why we can guarantee solid-state relays and optically-isolated I/O modules for life. Product Support Opto 22's Product Support Group offers comprehensive technical support for Opto 22 products. The staff of support engineers represents years of training and experience, and can assist with a variety of project implementation questions. Product support is available in English and Spanish from Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST.
