Cost
Effective
The LS3000 I/O stations, when used with a Logic NetR LM3000 control
module, can replace costly PC workstations, network hubs and network
software. To add more stations, simply increase the number of LS3000
modules. No special interface cards or additional hardware is required
for the LS3000 module to communicate with peripheral devices.
Reliable
and Rugged
The LS3000 I/O station was designed to meet the most demanding requirements
of an industrial network. There are no disk drives, fans or mechanical
parts that can easily fail. The enclosure is a heavy-duty zinc die cast
case for extra ruggedness. Every module uses snap-to-lock connectors
for secure connections. The LS3000 communicates with other workstations
and the LM3000 control module using network communications protocols
and topologies with proven reliability. It features high common-mode
noise rejection network wiring. The poll/select protocol functionality
avoids data collision, and the cyclic redundant checks virtually eliminate
all communication errors. A zero single-point-of-failure configuration
is also supported. LS3000 connections provide for a redundant data path
to prevent network interruption due to a line breakage. The LS3000 has
low power consumption that results in low internal temperature rise
for higher mean time between failure. In addition, the units are tamper
proof, with no on/off or selection switches and no adjustable devices.
Ultra
Compact
The LS3000 has a very compact form factor ¡V only 1.0¡¨h x 6.3¡¨w x
5.1¡¨d. Two mounting brackets enable these modules to be mounted almost
anywhere
¡V on a wall, ceiling, table top or under a counter. This enables it
to be used in a wide variety of applications ¡V on a production line,
in a restaurant¡¦s kitchen system, etc. ¡V despite severe space constraints.
