Under the brand name ExpertDAQ, Acceed offers a comprehensive range of scalable and cost-efficient IO modules, for example the EX9200 series. The modules with analogue and digital inputs and outputs also serve to link distributed sensors, actuators, meters or relays in extensive areas or via the Internet. They are robust, energy-efficient and can be installed and commissioned without any great effort. The EX9250-MTCP is a digital I/O module with ten inputs and six outputs. Two Ethernet interfaces enable the linking of several modules. Here, the auto-bypass function ensures the further operation of the other modules in the chain if one fails.

Due to its nature, the outdoor area poses a challenge for the network infrastructure. Wireless access points and routers are also no exception to this rule. Although wireless ranges are higher than in buildings, the requirements of resistance to weathering, temperature tolerance, robustness and security are also higher. Whether an industrial estate or office campus, transport fleet, repository or agricultural sector, the needs for comprehensive WLAN are constantly growing. WLAN which is stable, secure and designed for high access rates plays an important role for data communication in virtually all business fields. With the new WDAP-1800AX and WDAP-3000AX from Planet, Acceed from Düsseldorf, Germany, has extended its programme with two cost-efficient dual outdoor access points which are tailored to these requirements with Wi-Fi 6, IP67, a wide temperature range, PoE, the latest security protocols and OFDMA.

In times of AI, Industry 4.0, Big Data, Deep Learning and further algorithm-based technologies, it sounds almost anachronistic if we refer to I/O modules, that is to say hardware classics. However, this assessment is not fully correct. Rather the opposite: the relevance and advantages of I/O architectures are also still apparent nowadays and are undeniable − even if the term is losing its attractiveness. Therefore, the German distributor Acceed also still banks on the globally used hardware from the experienced manufacturer TOPSCCC (founded in 1987) and its ExpertDAQ brand within its the professional network technology portfolio.

The use of computers within an industrial environment, specifically outdoors, under high temperatures or under the influence of vibration, wetness, dust and similar aggressive environmental factors can pose a great challenge. The German distributor Acceed has now added the model Nuvo-9650AWP to its programme, a cost-efficient IP66 controller precisely tailored to these requirements. Moreover, various options and extension opportunities allow targeted configuration and adaptation to specific use scenarios.

Vehicles which are used for industrial purposes, whether transport, warehouse logistics or further tasks, are increasingly developing as moving computers. Their performance is becoming increasingly dependent on the functions of the computer systems used and their peripherals, such as cameras and further sensors. Internal vehicle applications range from vehicle fleet management to navigation and monitoring, all of which are important functions which nobody wishes to relinquish nowadays. The German distributor Acceed offers the new series of compact industrial AI platforms with the name NRU-51V+ for this purpose. The robust and fanless controllers for GMSL2 cameras are tailored precisely to these tasks with their Nvidia high-performance type Jetson Orin or Xavier modules.
