Feb 2018WOBURN, Mass., Feb. 8, 2018 — The BitBox from BitFlow Inc. is an input/output (I/O) device for machine vision and the industrial Internet of Things, providing 36 inputs and 36 outputs in a compact, DIN-rail-mounted form factor supporting transistor-transistor logic, low-voltage differential signaling, open collector, opto-isolated and 24-V signaling.

Simple to deploy, the BitFlow BitBox is controlled solely by a BitFlow frame grabber, using the same application programming interfact, driver and manual – reducing space requirements and flattening the learning curve for customers. It contains 12-pin connector blocks that are added or removed easily, yet still lock securely in place for factory floor reliability. Blocks are logically grouped by signal type and have snap-in connectors that allow the fabrication of a harness without directly wiring the BitBox.

The BitBox contains all transmitters and receivers with a small, high-speed, 15-wire cable running between the BitBox and the frame grabber. The maximum length cable is 10 m, providing maximum flexibility in positioning equipment within the machine. This arrangement isolates noisy, high-voltage signals generated by the PC away from the machine where they could cause data drops, video problems, malfunctions and random network errors.More products
