DRONFIELD, ENGLAND - AMETEK Land has introduced the new Input Output (IO) Manager product, a software solution, which enables complete integration of its measurement instrumentation with a factory's existing control systems.

The IO Manager software allows users to easily configure hardware system interfaces to AMETEK Land software using commercially available I/O modules through a simple tag to an IO channel pairing system.

The user friendly software offers simple and straightforward set up as well as complete flexibility for operators to drag and drop additional modules at a later stage, as required. That allows simple scalability as process or instrumentation requirements change.

With its common user interface, the software can be used to receive data from many different instruments. It can be integrated with AMETEK Land's SPOT non-contact thermometers and thermal imaging systems and, by the end of the year, with the complete AMETEK Land product range.

IO Manager supports up to 16 modules in any combination and can be customized to meet users' requirements. The software is readily available as a package with no modifications required.

'For a relatively low investment, IO Manager gives the benefit of full-system integration to new and existing customers,' says David King, Product & Programme Manager - Software for AMETEK Land.

'Customers can extend the system to suit their needs as requirements grow. This ability to upscale and to future-proof, along with the fact that this one application will work with all of our software and systems is extremely valuable. Simplicity, extensibility and familiarity are key features,' he adds.

In developing IO Manager, AMETEK LAND has created a generic I/O gateway with a common hardware interface for all of its software and achieves industry-standard interface requirements, such as 4-20mA and relay outputs.
