BRX Sales
« on: September 11, 2019, 07:58:08 PM »
I've noticed recently that many of the BRX modules are sold out and back ordered at Automation Direct. Is this due to manufacturing issues or have sales for the BRX and modules been really strong since the release of the newer modules?

Which modules are you having issues with? There are no supply issues at Host, although I?m not sure about FACTS.

I was specifically looking at a TC module but many of the analog combo modules are showing out of stock.

I think that is due to some firmware issues. Frustrating, but these things happen. I?m sure they?ll get it resolved soon.

There will be some new Host-built options early next year.

I take it from your response that FACTS makes some modules and HOST makes others?

Host is the primary developer. FACTS did all of the currently shipping analog modules. Host is also developing some new analog modules with extended features, which we expect to be launched early next year.

Can you elaborate on what those extended features will be?

Certainly.

There are 3 channel types available. Input, output, and temperature, available in the usual 4 channel, 8 channel, and various combos. Standard inputs and outputs are selectable current/voltage by channel. Temperature are universal TC, RTD, and NTC, selectable by channel. Temperature modules also support raw millivolt inputs. Temperatures are reported in 32 bit floats, with considerably higher precision. All modules use internal power, no external 24v required. Standard inputs are fast, ~1.2ms to update all channels. All inputs (standard and temperature) have internal filtering, set per channel.

That?s the high spots. Expected launch is Q1, with the usual disclaimer that they are available when you see them in ADC?s store, and of course, stuff happens.

1.2 ms is smokin fast for a TC module.

Temp module is slow. That's just the standard input speed.

That is still very fast for Analog. What is the resolution?  How fast is the TC module?

Temp module depends on channel config. RTD and NTC are 125ms per channel. TC is 250ms, I think. Those are additive, so a single resistive is quick, but 8 channels of TC is about 2 seconds.. Standard inputs are 1.2ms for all, not additive.

I am guessing this is the same problem with getting the analog combo cards? (2 ch current in/out) I hope it is resolved soon.

Yeah, I think combos were involved. It should be resolved soon.

1.2 ms scan rate for analog inputs, current and voltage, sounds very good. :) :)  the t1H modules are that fast now so hopefully you can do it too.
