Solartron Wireless support pack sit on top of Orbit® 3 Digital Gauging, displacement and Positioning Network Solartron
Orbit® Network: A digital measurement system that makes it simple and easy to interconnect high accuracy Solartron instruments and other sensors to your computer, network or PLC.
Calibrated System
Each Solartron probe or instrument is available with a digital module at the end of the cable. Inside the module is a chip that digitizes the analogue signal from the probe. The probe is calibrated and linearized at the Solartron factory, with a guaranteed accuracy of 0.05% of range or 0.2 microns, whichever is greater, 0.15 micron repeatability, and 0.01 micron resolution. You can then master the probe anywhere over its measurement range, and attain the same accuracy from that master point. Solartron also offers a variety of calibrated non-contact Laser sensors available.
Connect to other Sensors
The Orbit® 3 Network will connect to 3rd party sensors via interface modules.
Analogue Interface Module (AIM): Connect to any sensor with a DC or 4-20mA output.
Encoder Input Module, (EIM): Connects with any rotary encoder or other device with a TTL output. With these connections, all readings can be sent to a PLC or PC seamlessly.
Digimatic Input Module: Connects to any Mitutoyo gauge
Digital Input/output Module: An eight-pin module that acts as an I/O interface to a PLC.
The Orbit3 Windows Support Pack enables you to take readings from Orbit Modules forming an Orbit Network and Connect Orbit® to SPC, Excel, or build your own program with the Orbit® Support Pack.
Orbit® 3 means this is third generation running products, field proven…
