A Next Generation OCSI/O DirectionHistory

• SmartStack. The Original “on the back” I/O Platform for OCS. Still has great utility for Modular “Built-in” I/O

• FOX. Not really an I/O style on its own, but an expansion method for SmartStack.

• SmartStix. Block-style I/O based on CsCAN. Currently our most popular I/O style along with Built-in I/O

• Built-in. Developed with the XLe Release in 2006.

• SmartBlock. Released starting in 2010 for Specialty & Analog modules to complement SmartStix

• SmartRail. Released in 2010 as a cost-effective, highly scalable I/O platform for applications from medium to large

A Next Generation OCSI/O DirectionSmartStack

• Will remain a fully-supported, promoted as a modular “built-in” I/O platform

• Will be supported in plastic and metal• Metal continues to be viable with the

Ruggedized RX371 – with more metal constructed controllers likely

• I/O Models pared down in ‘10 from 70+ to around 30. Long-term plan is around 16-20 most popular models

FOX (Fiber Optic Expansion)• Is being de-emphasized• Issues with Plastic Fiber parts have made it

a challenge to keep viable• Future emphasis on glass fiber possible,

but still under evaluation

A Next Generation OCSI/O Direction

SmartBlock• Specialty/Analog Models continue to be

filled out throughout 2011• UL in second half of 2011• Ethernet will be added in 2011/2012• Optional Logic capability will be available

in 2011/2012

SmartStix• Remains our primary block-style Digital I/O

Family now and in the future• Sometime in 2012, Analog models may be

replaced by SmartBlock equivalents

A Next Generation OCSI/O Direction

SmartRail• Strongly emphasized for new applications

with modular, scalable I/O requirements• Ethernet & CsCAN now available, providing

compatibility with entire product line• Additional I/O Cards should be added in

2011/2012• High-speed counter, PWM• Thermister• AC In

A Next Generation OCSI/O DirectionBuilt-in I/O

• CORE4 products in 2011/2012 (XL6, XL10, new XL7) will get 30-35 points of additional built-in digital & analog I/O

• Additional I/O circuitry will be onboard, but I/O termination will be on DIN-rail, keeping panel door cleaner

COM option I/O• Today, this expansion is strictly for

communications (Ethernet, cell, modems)• In March/April 2011 – 2/4 channel Analog

Output option will be released• High-speed in/out module for 2011/2012• Improved Mechanical package will make

installation easier, remove connector conflicts with Model 4 & Model 5 I/O
