STW announces a new product line, controllers for mobile applications for less money. The first member of this controller family will be the ESX-IOX, available beginning 3rd quarter 2007.

The ESX-IOX is a low cost I/O module for mobile applications, which provides a lot of I/O for less money. The total current output is 10A.

The following I/O is possible with ESX-IOX:

up to 28 digital inputs
up to 2 RPM inputs
up to 6 voltage inputs (0 to 10V)
up to 12 voltage inputs (0 to 40V)
up to 4 PWM outputs
up to 8 digital outputs
up to 4 digital outputs low active
up to 1 10V output for the supply of sensors

The ESX-IOX extends the I/O capability of a master controller, using CAN (CANopen protocol or layer 2 communication). The controller can also be programmed for your individual application.

The module is mounted in a plastic housing (5.4” x 4.6 x 1.4”). Connection is provided by a single 42-pin-connector from Tyco. Depending on your specific needs, it can be ordered in different options.
