Omega PLCs offer high speed pulse capture
Omega's ELC series DIN rail mount mini programmable logic controllers offer high speed pulse capture and high speed pulse output and are expandable to 256 I/O.
The PS535E is also supplied as standard with integrated Bluetooth Technology and 802.11b/g WiFi capability and has an embedded Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, which allows users to easily collect, save and transmit data while in the field and provides fast and accurate positioning data for navigation.
Specific field applications are also available as configurable upgrades, such as secure Digital IO slots allowing users to add additional devices such as memory and RFID.
As well as featuring a high end specification as standard, the PS535E also has a rechargeable Li-ION battery providing users with 8h or more of active use without a recharge.
The PS535E also features a sunlight - readable QVGA touch-screen display.
Getac said it is a leader in developing Sunlight Readable Technology for its hardware.
Sunlight Readable Technology intensifies an LCD's visibility, making the display more readable and therefore usable under intensely bright outdoor conditions.
The PS535E's screen is sharp, clear and bright, displaying detailed maps, and graphic intensive files in unmatchable detail.
The PS535E features a magnesium alloy structure design with hand strap for convenient transport and a screen cover to protect the unit from knocks.
As with all Getac rugged handheld computers, the PS535E meets the MIL-STD-810F and IP54 requirements which ensure the unit is resistant to water, such as heavy rain, dust and debris, often a major cause of hardware failure when used in environments such as construction sites, and accidental drops.
The PS535E's construction qualities ensure the unit is always protected and that valuable data and consequently time is never lost, contributing to a lower failure rate of the hardware, lowering the overall cost of ownership.
