Welcome to Kickstart where you get to see
new products here at AutomationDirect. Today I am going to show you a new solution
to a proven set of hardware. I am talking about a Do-More CPU that was
developed for our Terminator series of hardware. The terminator hardware was introduced several
years back and was launched as Field I/O or as some of us refer to as: "dumb I/O" meaning
it was only a slave device and didn't have a CPU or processor. The terminator IO has many slave controllers
available like: Etherent, DirectLogic Remote IO, DeviceNET, Profibus and Modbus. This meant that the terminator hardware had
to be controlled by some other device or system. The Terminator hardware has proven to be robust,
compact and simple to wire with its onboard terminals and popular with its removable IO
modules. Terminator offers many available IO options
with AD, DC and analog IO as well as specialty modules. One of our biggest requests was to offer a
CPU. Our friends at Host engineering that develop
many of our hardware and software systems and developed our ever popular DoMore CPU
for our 205 series of PLCs took on that task and developed this terminator I/O DoMore CPU. It programs and functions like our popular
205 DoMore. The T1H Series PLC system provides a powerful,
flexible instruction set, inside a user friendly programming environment. There are two new DoMore CPUs for terminator;
one with and one without Ethernet. Both CPUs offer USB and serial communications
ports and both come with the battery installed for battery backup. Both CPUs offer multiple communications protocols
enabling the CPU to talk to other devices like: Operator interfaces, Drives, other PLCs
and more. Just like the 205 version, we offer free DoMore
software downloadable from our website. When we launched the DoMore CPUs for our 205
series hardware, we teamed up with Doug Bell at Interconnecting Automation and offered
free access to his online training. We are doing this again; if you purchase a
Terminator DoMore CPU, you will get free access to the DoMore video training. If you aren't familiar with our Terminator
hardware or our DoMore processors, I encourage you to check them out. You can find the agency approvals and specs
for these new Terminator CPUs on our website at: www.automationdirect.com
Check back with us often on AutomationDirects websites or on Youtube.com/Automationdirect
for more Kickstart videos. If you are watching us on YouTube, please
let us know what you think about these new Terminator DoMore CPUs or how you plan to
use them in your application by dropping us a comment down below. Thanks for watching and we hope to see you
again soon.
