The PCIe-7856 is a PCI Express interface card providing two ports for Motionnet and HSL systems for distributed motion and I/O in machine automation applications. HSL technology allows thousands of I/O points to be scanned at the millisecond-level in real time by using a master-slave architecture.
Use of commercial Ethernet cables with RJ-45 connectors allows for simplified setup of the HSL slave modules as close as possible to sensor devices which results in a dramatic reduction of wiring.
System integrators can benefit from HSL networks that integrate discrete I/O and analog I/O modules, enabling rapid response and real-time scanning.
