The PCI-1739U 48-channel digital I/O universal PCI card for both 3.3 V and 5 V PCI bus signaling starts at $195. It uses Opto-22 compatible 50-pin connectors for interfacing to many signal conditioning and termination options.

Upgrades include a BFI (Blown Fuse Indicator) circuit, which uses a high efficiency LED that emits a bright signal throughout a complete voltage range. Because of the wide voltage range of the BFI circuits, 16 part numbers now make up what was once represented by 40. This consolidation translates to fewer items end users will have to specify due to various circuits.

The 4700 Series has an Intel M mobile processor that requires about half the wattage of most industrial PCs. Because the reduced power usage also results in less heat output, 4700 Series PCs are ideal for factory automation applications requiring NEMA sealed enclosures. The 4700 Series ships standard with a 1.3GHz Intel Celeron M processor (512K cache, 400MHz bus); 512MB DRAM, CD-ROM and WindowsXP.

Lead screw, linear rail, spline shaft and ScrewRail actuator assemblies are available with Kerkote TFE coating, which reduces friction and extends the life of assemblies used in motion control applications in a variety of industries. Since it is a dry lubricant, Kerkote will not become dry and paste-like, and does not attract dirt or debris.

The EDS-516A 16-port managed Ethernet switch provides high-end and secure industrial Ethernet applications. It supports Quality of Service (QoS), IEEE802.1D-1998 GMRP and IGMP Snooping, and VLAN technology, which can be used to segment a network without being restricted by physical connections,
