IO-Controller Development Kit
BradCommunications™ PROFINET IO-Controller Development Kit allows easy
integration of PROFINET into industrial control systems. The development kit allows quick integration of PROFINET into products including PLC couplers, interface cards, panel PCs and robot controllers, meaning manufacturers can bring their product to market more quickly.
The BradCommunications PROFINET IO-Controller Development Kit supports any
hardware platform and is compatible with 32-bits operating systems (real-time or
not) implementing multithread. The development kit supports Real-time (RT) Class-A communication. Also available, a powerful and easy-to-use IO-Supervisor software console to automatically detect and set up IO-Devices to generate configuration files in order to start the IO-controller Stack.

IP67 Digital I/O Block
BradControl I/O Block for PROFINET packaged in a Classic 60mm housing
provides a reliable world-class solution for on-machine applications where harsh environments such as water, weld sparks or vibration may be present. The network connection is provided through a built-in 2-port Ethernet switch using standard threaded M12 connectors or Ultra-Lock™ connection system. The Ultra-Lock™ connection system provides fast, simple and secure connections, reducing wiring costs through quicker setups and ensuring more uptime by eliminating connector-related intermittent signals that lead to production downtime.
Available in 10 different configurations (including I/O user configurable version)
the block can connect up to 16 devices to the PROFINET Real-Time Channel. LEDs, scrolling 4-digit display, and web server allow maintenance personnel to easily determine status of I/O, module and network.

IO-Controller Interface Cards
BradCommunications™ PCI/PCI Express IO-Controller Card provides
high-speed deterministic communication between control/scada applications
and IO-Devices. The card comes packaged with a complete Windows software
suite (configuration console, diagnostic tools, library DLL, OPC server, etc). The
configuration console includes advanced features to quickly setup and define the IO-Devices connected to the card. A sophisticated network detection mechanism is able to discover and build your network topology based on the integrated GSD device library. Acting as an IO-Supervisor, the console allows each device to set the name and IP address for each IO-Device.
The card is delivered ready-to-use for Windows 32-bits environments. OS driver
kits are available free-of-charge for Ardence, VxWorks, Linux, and other platforms.

IP67 Ethernet Switch
BradCommunications™ IP67 Ethernet Unmanaged/Managed Switches
provide a reliable world-class product for harsh environments in a classic 60 mm package. It supports all standard 802.3 protocols and is compatible with PROFINET infrastructure. The switch has 8 ports 10/100 Mbps Ethernet with M12 D-coded connectors enhanced by the use of the Ultra-Lock™ connection system which allows reliable quick connect and disconnect of cordsets. The switch includes a redundant dual-DC power inputs and a built-in port for configuration of managed features including: RSTP for fault-tolerant loops, IGMP snooping, QoS, MAC based security, and SNMP agent.

IP30 Ethernet Switch
BradCommunications™ in-cabinet Ethernet Unmanaged/Managed Switches
are available with many features to suit industrial network requirements. The
switch characteristics include a small footprint in IP30 industrial package,
redundant dual-DC power inputs, and DIN Rail or panel mount.
In addition to the standard 802.3 protocols, the BradCommunications™ switches
support auto-sensing, auto-polarity and auto-crossover. The DRL-300 Series
of switches are equipped with SNMP, IGMP snooping, VLAN, QoS as well as
network redundancy. They support fast and easy network setup via secure (https) web interface, Telnet / SSH (network), terminal (RS232) or SNMP (v1, v2, v3). All products are industrially rated and UL/CSA and CE certified.
