Advantech is pleased to announce its USB-5800 series of isolated digital I/O modules with SuperSpeed USB 3.0 capabilities. Advantech’s USB-5800 modules are aimed at diverse industrial control applications that require easy-to-install portable digital I/O capabilities, particularly for systems without PCI/PCIe slots. Featuring SuperSpeed USB 3.0 capabilities, USB-5800 series I/O modules provide high data transfer speeds (up to 5 Gbps), extend the system I/O functions, and support daisy chaining for easy I/O expansion. The front-facing LED indicators, ID switch, and terminal blocks provide convenient access for easy installation and maintenance. To prevent sudden failures or disconnection, the USB-5800 series modules also feature exclusive Auto Recovery® technology to ensure zero failures. Moreover, the inclusion of surge protection ensures stable operation even in high surge environments, making the modules ideal for a wide range of industrial applications. Furthermore, to ensure easy deployment and integration with existing systems, the USB-5800 modules support numerous development tools, including C#, C++, LabVIEW, VB.Net, MFC, BCB, VB6, Java, Delphi, and Qt, and are compatible with Windows XP/7/8/10 and Linux operating systems.

To comply with more stringent regulations of vehicles, auto part and component suppliers, leading automobile manufactures must adopt more comprehensive high-precision production, design and testing equipment. Advantech's high performance test and measurement solutions can fulfill a variety of testing requirements and conquer the harsh environment as well as the interface. 

Project Introduction

Automobile manufacturing involves a wide range of operations and processes, such as sheet metal welding, vehicle body painting, metal forging, engine manufacturing and processing, interior assembly and factory testing. The smooth execution of each process is essential to producing premium quality products. This, the equipment used in automobile manufacturing must be correctly installed and employed for quality assurance.

Advantech's IIoT Automation Group is pleased to announce the launch of the PCI-1203 high-end, 32 axis EtherCAT motion and I/O master card.

When advanced DAQ card features such as analog trigger and a waveform generator is needed, Advantech's PCIe-1800 series with A/D resolution from 12-bit to 26-bit and a sampling rate from 500KS/s to 500MS/s as well as simultaneous or multiplexed sampling can fulfill a variety of solution needs.

What is DAQNavi

DAQNavi is Advantech's next-generation driver package for programmers to develop their applications using Advantech's data acquisition and I/O devices. This free software package offers device drivers and complete SDKs, including libraries, example code, documentation (such as a manual and tutorial videos) and a utility.

Advantech's IIoT Automation Group is pleased to announce the launch of the PCIe-1730H and the PCIe-1756H digital I/O cards with a digital filter function to prevent false detection of input signals.

Project Introduction

To guarantee a product's quality before it leaves a factory, product verification is fundamental, but it is also a repetitive and tedious job and mistakes are easily made. As a result, Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems are becoming the quality control method of choice to replace manual checks. Although AOI systems are capable of far more swiftly and accurately handling many of the visual checks previously performed by manual operators, the most intensive machine vision system has been designed to inspect the objects in fixed positions; this lack of flexibility narrows down the scope of the inspection.
