SmartLinc Processor

May 13, 2013

LaserLinc is introducing the SmartLinc processor, a device for direct interface from LaserLinc's laser micrometers to control systems.

The SmartLinc processor integrates easily into the line control system communicating via Ethernet or serial port to the PLC. A single unit provides a communications link for one, two, or three of LaserLinc's full line of single, dual, and triple-axis laser scanning micrometers.

To simplify communication management, the processor transmits data to the PLC at user-defined intervals and to user-specified locations in the PLC via tags. Once configured and integrated, the SmartLinc provides unattended and reliable operation. No ongoing monitoring is required.

Easy-to-use configuration and diagnostics tools enable the user to access and manage all SmartLinc devices over the plant network, or by Ethernet cable-connection from a laptop directly to a SmartLinc device.
