LucidControl USB IO Modules in a Few words
The LucidControl USB IO Module product family must be considered as a good choice when ever automated tasks are demanded in a task. By having remarkable technical functions for a fair price, the devices change one computer into a modular DAQ and control system. The flexible Universal Serial Bus units are most suitable in order to handle power loads like fans, pumps or even heaters by capturing and creating analog and digital lines like logic states, voltages.
Beside of being ready for house jobs, LucidControl USB Devices are additionally designed to be able to suit a great number of related criteria for industrial concepts including workbench automation. The chance of attaching the devices on regular DIN-Rails is only one advantage pointed out here. This Particular capability allows the inclusion of LucidControl USB Units in to control cabinets of an automized project.
LucidControl USB IO Modules are ready for professional applications and they are equipped with solid industrial standard IO terminals. Particularly this specific feature, together with the potential to attach them on DIN-Rails makes them the optimal solution for industrial automated applications including switchgear cabinets.
The USB IO Units are universal plus work on numerous operating-system like Linux and MS Windows. Due to the standardized driver, which is offered in most recent computer operating systems, immediate set up can be performed quite simply in a few minutes. The modules are suitable for the very popular and powerful Texas Instruments Beagle Bone and RaspberryPi embedded computers. Internet services and mobile applications represent just two examples of numerous that can be made by these computer boards.
All LucidControl USB IO Modules can easily be handled utilizing the same user-friendly program making working with the units very simple. As soon as a device is connected to the USB interface of a computer it begins working instantly.
All IO Modules are supposed to be managed utilizing the identical simple to use software that makes dealing with the units very simple where it is not important how many modules may be plugged into the specific computer system. Utilizing the supplied command line tool, the Python and Java® SDKs give entire access to all functionality of the LucidControl USB IO units.
Change a personal computer to a data acquisition and control system
LucidControl USB IO Modules can be used for a variety of applications. Whenever signals have to be managed e.g. in the factory floor automation field, the units can be employed in order to control fans, lawn sprinklers or other electric consumers.
Easy solutions such as developing a time switch or even more sophisticated automated functions including metering as well as logging of humidity or temperature could be realized easily by employing USB IO Modules. LucidControl USB IO Units are focused on power management because of being able to measure inputs including wind speed and humidity.
Clocked outputs and standardised analog 0-10V interfaces can easily produce signals for controlling valves, mixers and heaters of a central home heating controlled by computations based on scaled temps. Not to mention that all solutions can be controlled over the web even through the use of mobile phones.
In the DIY sector these reasonable LucidControl USB IO devices can be used to control setting up various lightning settings. As soon as a computer that itself is linked to the Internet registers the IO Device you'll find almost no limits of potential applications.
Flexible interfaces with USB Analog IO and USB Digital IO
In order to make this product as functional as realisable and also to cover the majority of possible uses, it is our companies objective to manage a number of analog and digital signals with this LucidControl USB I/O Units.
The USB digital output module is only one devices of the LucidControl product series offering 4 digital outputs which are carried out as solid state relays, mechanical SPDT relays or offer open collector characteristics.
Compatible with Raspberry Pi® and Texas Instrument Beagle Bone Black computer systems
PC system based LucidControl I/O devices can be employed with almost all computers running MS Windows and Linux. In addition cheaper and embedded computers like the Raspberry Pi® and the Texas Instrument Beagle Bone Black, that offer USB interfaces, network and display ports, are devoted working along with LucidControl.
Due to the Linux operating-system these types of computer boards can handle countless jobs instantly. Countless software applications like popular Internet servers as well as databases can support you, are available on the Internet and can be downloaded - oftentimes free of charge.
When an Internet server has been set up, LucidControl is reachable with all its capabilities remotely just by browsers, stable and around the world. Professional database systems e.g. MariaDB are very valuable on the subject of reliable recording of acquired data with minimal hassle.
There are a lot of sample programs supplied demonstrating the use of LucidControlUSB devices.
Software Package and Online Documentation
An extensive and also continuously growing available software bundle makes the set-up of LucidControl IO systems absolute uncomplicated. Furthermore, all functionality is described really comprehensive and tutorials offer useful understanding providing many tips for various purposes.
The console tool is compatible with all LucidControl units and can be utilized as a instant start in order to control and configure them without any single line of granting entire access to the LucidControl modules and being offered for most major platforms with no need of set up, it saves development time and boosts the time to enter the market.
Portable and internet based solutions can be programmed very fast and easy using the terminal tool. Application programming interfaces for many software development environments like Python and Java® are also included.
Due to the comprehensive documentation, LucidControl USB IO Modules are able to be integrated into other application development environments without difficulty.
