[labnetwork] Interlock Boxes

[Flückiger Philippe]

Hi All,

EPFL is using Ether IO24 R from http://www.elexol.com/IO_Modules/

Our software is homemade but we have a call for tenders running in order to "couple our homemade software" with a commercial package.

We will keep you posted on this important move on which we are investing a lot of effort.

With my very best regards,
Philippe

Kolin:

I believe that most folks are using the Advantech ADAM-6060 or ADAM-6066 6-channel IP-addressable relay modules for interlocking.  Others use modules that come from National Control Devices that have 1-, 2-, 4-, and 8-relay devices with current ratings from 5 to 30 amps.  Most folks are currently using hard-wired ethernet connections, but some wireless options are also available.

I believe that most of these IP-addressable relays are functionally equivalent but would certainly have minor differences in the default port that is used and the exact command sent to turn on, turn off, or check the status of a given relay channel.

I don't have experience with either Cores or iLab software to know what, if any, interlocking hardware has been interfaced with their systems.

Good luck,

John

Hi!  Here at WVU, we are going to interlock our tools to our reservation software.  Everyone at the UGIM was talking about the "blue boxes" from Advantech.  Can anyone provide me with a model number?  Also, has anyone interfaced these boxes with Cores or iLabs software?
