Datakey Electronics Launches Keytroller II / Slimtroller II / Unitroller II - OEM Read/Write Receptacles!Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BURNSVILLE, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 20, 2003 Datakey Electronics, Inc. has started shipping their new line of industrial OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and peripheral devices that are compatible with all of Datakey Electronics' rugged, re-programmable serial memory keys and tokens: Keytroller(TM) II (key version), Slimtroller(TM) II (token version) and Unitroller(TM) II (key or token) are combination Reader/Writer /Receptacles with RS-232, RS-485 or USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. interfaces. These panel-mount devices are designed to work in PLC- or PC-controlled applications. This series of peripheral controllers allows system designers to easily integrate capabilities such as access control/user authentication, and data transfer or storage. They work in rugged environments where it would not be convenient to have a hard-wired connection such as LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. or twisted pair A thin-diameter wire (22 to 26 gauge) commonly used for telephone and network cabling. The wires are twisted around each other to minimize interference from other twisted pairs in the cable (Alexander Graham Bell invented this and was awarded a patent for it in 1881). . For example, in an injection molding injection molding n. A manufacturing process for forming objects, as of plastic or metal, by heating the molding material to a fluid state and injecting it into a mold. environment, mold-specific machine configurations can be stored on a memory token and kept with each mold. Insert the token into the Slimtroller II and the peripheral uploads all the setup information to the molding machine's PLC so it can run that particular part. This decreases set-up time and reduces human errors associated with data entry. The token is extremely resistant to all of the hazards that would be encountered in a molding operation, such as chemicals, dropping, static discharge and more. For applications with limited space available immediately behind the control panel, the Unitroller II supports remotely connecting a panel-mount Keyceptacle(R) or Receptacle via a ribbon cable A thin, flat, multiconductor cable that is widely used for internal peripheral connections in electronic systems. In a PC, a 34-wire ribbon connects the floppy drive (if present) to the motherboard. . "The Keytroller II is perfect for PC-based, machine control or kiosk applications," commented Jeff Daniel, Business Development Manager, Datakey Electronics. "The Keytroller II provides a simple hardware interface between the application and a controller for data storage or access control. In addition to data logging (data) data logging - (data acquisition) Storing a series of measurements over time, usually from a sensor that converts a physical quantity such as temperature, pressure, relative humidity, light, resistance, current, power, speed, vibration into a voltage that is then converted and recipe uploading, this system can facilitate granting differing levels of machine access rights based upon training, need or trust." The Keytroller II, Slimtroller II and Unitroller II come pre-packaged with communication cable, software and manual with mounting instructions. An optional stainless steel stainless steel: see steel. stainless steel Any of a family of alloy steels usually containing 10–30% chromium. The presence of chromium, together with low carbon content, gives remarkable resistance to corrosion and heat. faceplate is also available to simplify mounting the units into panels. Approximate retail cost is $128 to $145 ea. OEM quantity pricing available. About Datakey Electronics, Inc.
