EnSol is working hard to formalise the design and specifications of modules for direct sales, these modules include: – DC motor drive – Stepper motor drive – Solenoid Valve drive / Switch (with PWM) – RF Solenoid Valve drive / Switch (with PWM) – USB interface – RF transceiver to USB interface – Thermocouple Vacuum Gauge – Grounded oscillator (used for thin film deposition rate monitoring) – RS-232 interface – RS-485 interface In the meantime, if you wish to learn more about this development, please contact us. As well as offering custom made solutions for thin-film, vacuum equipment and prototype instrumentation, EnSol is currently working on marketing a range of process control equipment it has developed: EnSol’s Open InterfaceTM solution offers a simple, cost effective way to build-up and control systems/devices. The system continues to expand and was originally developed for running EnSol’s own vacuum deposition system, allowing the collective powering and interfacing of a multitude of instrumentation from different manufacturers. Various limpet TM type interface modules can be daisy chained together to control different pieces of equipment and instrumentation. Whether you wish to control a complex automated vacuum coating facility, or simply water your greenhouse plants, EnSol’s Open Interface could be for you! A simple bidirectional communications interface allows single port USB control from a host PC or smart phone. “Com-port” communications on a mobile device or PC typically in either Visual Basic (Windows) or Gambas (Linux) offers a very fast and efficient way to develop your own Graphics User Interface for controlling and data logging your system. Make it your ownTM – As well as giving you the full freedom to design your own interactive interface, just the way you want it – which can grow and develop with the demands of your system, the Open Interface modules are based on Atmel’s AVR 8-bit microcontrollers, (which have found huge popularity through the arduino platform). Simplified schematics and firmware code provided with the modules allows the more experienced and adventurous users to do their own reprogramming, to go that bit further with customisation. Whether you wish to change the communications speed and style, or add independent control functions, it is all in your hands! This option also provides an ideal educational platform for learning about the world of microcontrollers and electronics.
