Product Portfolio

  • Embedded Computing / Industrial PC

  • emPC

    • emPC-X1600

    • The emPC-X1600 system is a high performance
      embedded computing system with lowest dimensions.

      Janz Automationssysteme AG developed this kind of
      controlling unit for applications where high
      performance is needed in lowest dimensions. Also
      x86 based operating systems, e.g. Windows XP and
      Windows XPembedded can be used with this tiny
      computing system.

    • emPC-A400

    • The emPC-A400/A500 systems are flexible embedded computing system with lowest dimensions.

      Janz Automationssysteme AG developed this kind of
      controlling unit for automation solutions which need
      standard communication systems combined with
      lowest dimensions.

      Due to permanent minimization of all machines the
      emPC-A400/A500 systems are the smallest computing systems which are actually available at the market.

    • emPC-A500

    • It is powered by an ARM based processor with
      400 MHz or 600 MHz. With 128 MB system memory
      and Windows CE or Linux as operating system most
      automation solutions can be designed using this
      system.

      Additionally the emPC-A400/A500 systems are mounted internally to the emVIEW product family of the Janz Automationssysteme AG. So customers must not decide between two different systems when they need a stand-alone system or sometimes a HMI solution. The only decision customers need to do in this case is the decision about the size of the display they need!

    • emPC-X133

    • The emPC-X133 system is an embedded computing
      system with up to three integrated CAN/CANopen
      ports. Janz Automationssysteme AG developed this
      kind of controlling unit for automation solutions which
      need standard communication systems combined
      with x86 based software solutions.

      Due to permanent minimization of all machines the
      emPC-X133 is one of the smallest computing
      systems which are actually available at the market.

    • emPC-M Series

    • The emPC-M family is a flexible embedded computing system based on high performance processor technologies.

      Due to permanent minimization of all machines the
      emPC-M series is a small but flexible and high performance computing system which matches all needs of different customized solutions.

      It is powered by different specified CPU modules
      starting at Geode LX800 up to Intel Core2Duo with
      actually up to 2 x 1.66 GHz.

    • emPC-M Series

    • An IEC 61131-3 Soft PLC solution is also available
      and makes the emPC-M series to a high quality control system. Janz is a member of the CoDeSys Automation Alliance (CAA) and so Janz is able to supply CoDeSys with its options to all emPC systems.

      Additionally the emPC-M systems are able to be
      mounted on the rear side of a LCD display to become a flexible HMI system with or without touch screen. Look for our emVIEW systems for more information. The emPC-M series is available with Linux, Windows XP, XPembedded, Vista or Windows CE 5.0/6.0/7 as operating system.

  • emVIEW

    • emVIEW Panel PC

  • INDUSTRIAL COMMUNICATION

  • CAN

  • General about CAN
    CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial bus system especially suited for networking ”intelligent” devices as well as sensors and actuators within a system or a sub-system.

    The attributes of CAN
    CAN is a bus system with multi-master capabilities, that is, all CAN nodes can request the bus simultaneously. The bus system CAN with real-time capabilities is the subject of the international standard ISO/DIS 11898 and covers the lowest two layers of the ISO/OSI reference model.
    In CAN networks there is no addressing of subscribers or stations in the conventional sense, but instead, prioritized messages are transmitted. Introductory courses, function libraries, starter kits, host interfaces, I/O modules and tools are available permitting low cost implementation of CAN networks. Low-cost controller chips implementing the CAN data link layer protocol in silicon and permitting simple connection to microcontrollers have been available since 1989. The use of CAN in most of European passenger cars and the decision by truck and offroad vehicle vendors for CAN guarantees the availability of CAN chips for the next 10 years minimum. Other high volume markets, like domestic appliances and industrial control, also increase the CAN sales figures. One of the outstanding features of the CAN protocol is its high transmission reliability. The maximum transmission rate is specified as 1 MBit/s. This value applies to networks up to 40 m. For longer distances the data rate must be reduced: for distances up to 500 m a speed of 125 kBit/s is possible, and for transmissions up to 1 km a data rate of 50kBit/s is permitted.

    Janz CAN Products – The first choice of the market leaders!

    Janz CAN host interfaces are available for a wide range of different platforms, like ISA/PCI, CompactPCI, VMEbus, PCcard (PCMCIA), PMC, PC/104 and others. Software support and libraries with standard APIs for Windows, Linux, QNX, VxWorks and many other operating systems are also available.
    Many companies all over the world have chosen Janz Automationssysteme AG as reliable supplier for CAN products of highest quality, with unrivalled product support.
    Choosing the right system platform and the right operating system for your special project is critical. Janz' CAN products are widely recognized as the best solution for quality projects from design and implementation and on in to production.

  • POWERLINK - The Real Time Ethernet

  • POWERLINK is deterministic real-time protocol for standard Ethernet. It distinguishes between real time domains and Non Real Time domains. This separation matches typical machine and plant concepts. It also satisfies the increasing security demands to prevent hacker attacks on the machine level or harm through erroneous data communication on higher network hierarchies. Hard Real Time requirements are met within the real time domain. Less time critical data is routed transparently between the real time domain and non real time domain using standard IP frames. A clear boundary between a machine and factory network prevents potential security flaws from the very beginning while keeping full data transparency.

Additional to the special industrial requirements the VMEbus adapted himself over the past to all new requirements at the industrial market. It permanent has been developed with new features. The most important detail must be the forward and backward compatibility. So VMEbus can be used over a period of many years.
    All VMEbus products can being combined with VMEbus products of different manufacturers. So all VMEbus systems are 100% compatible to each other.
