CUBLOC and CuTOUCH Modbus RTU Slave compatible with Mach CNC software

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

We have been messing around with some Mach CNC software which developers can make control their CNC machines using the software. There is a Modbus protocol support on the Mach CNC software so some of the users of the Mach software have been requesting some information regarding IO expansion using CUBLOC and it’s Modbus support.

The simple answer is yes, we just finished a basic testing with Mach3 CNC software and it works fine. Directions are at the forum.

Now I hear that they also have CNC stepper motor drivers which should be able to be controlled using CUBLOC and CuTOUCH. That will be our next step in this integration of an industrial CNC software/driver and Comfile products.

Do you need to control your vehicle using your cellphone or track
where it is in the world on your computer?
Here’s a cool smart car system built using the CUBLOC CB220 as the
brain and CLCD420B for display. They obviously hooked up some GPS
modules and some GPRS modems to make it work nice.
Our distributor in India built this,
awesome job guys! :)

Also check out the PDF with detailed features.
If you want to get hands on one of these systems or be a distributor
for it if you own a Auto company, contact Autopay Solutions.

Internet Controlled Security Robot

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

http://cubloc.com/image/app/security-bot-cool.jpg

Wow, here’s a cool internet controlled security robot using CUBLOC
CB280
, CuBASE 32M, CLCD420B, and a MAXPORT. Thanks Shelato!

There are two components to the interface. One a Visual basic program that sends and receives commands to the cubloc. Two, the cubloc program that receives the commands, controls the cubloc and turns the outputs on and off.

The fully load version on the test stand. It runs wireless!!!!!!!! However, I’m tethered to the power supplies for the Linksys router and Cubloc power supply. Next weekend we go to full battery power.

The Maxport is sticking out the backend of truck connected to the Linksys router through the blue ethernet cable. 2 Green lights can been seen on the Cubloc. The LCD display is in the passanger window.

Proximity Warning System using CUBLOC CB220 and GHLCD graphic LCD

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007

http://cubloc.com/image/app/proximity-warning-system.jpg

Allied Safety has used a CUBLOC CB220 module and a graphic LCD
to create a proximity warning system for high voltages in industrial
environments.

  • Allied Safety Engineering, LLC develops products to save lives.
  • Their primary products are high voltage proximity warning devices
    and line contact warning devices. Proximity warning devices have
    been used successfully for decades to prevent heavy equipment
    from coming into contact with high voltage lines.
  • ASE has developed advanced patented technology to provide
    the most advanced proximity warning devices in the industry.
  • When a vehicle strikes a high voltage line, death most often
    occurs
    when personnel come into contact with the energized
    vehicle while in contact with the ground below the vehicle.
  • Details of the study are included in the references.

Fuzzy Logic Perm Machine for Salons using CUBLOC CB280 module and Graphic LCD

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007

http://cubloc.com/image/app/fuzzy-1.jpg

Above: Before and After Pictures of using the Perm Machine.

http://cubloc.com/image/app/fuzzy-2.jpg

Here’s a cool fuzzy logic perm machine for salons over in Japan using
CUBLOC CB280 module and GHLCD graphic LCD from Comfile.

The CB280 uses Ladder Logic to control the complex fuzzy logic of
the perm machine hair dings (The things you roll your hair with).
This thing also has an XPORT module which allows the company to
analyze and fix customer’s problems over the internet on top of
updatable firmwares.

The company grew 10 times in size and moved their offices twice
due to massive growth of sales. They are now bigger than Comfile
Technology… :p
The above example uses a customized firmware version of MAXport,
for custom internet MAXport inquiries, please send them to
engineering@comfiletech.com.
