Global ET SIM Remote IO (SIMRIO) Module Graphic The SIM Remote IO (SIMRIO) is a small CAN interface network node that provides remote control and data collection for analog or digital signals. The SIMRIO is well suited for remote monitoring and closed-loop control. The SIMRIO is designed to support the SIMPCU & SIMPMC in power management, control, and integration applications.

The SIMRIO was created to provide the much needed remote control and data collection capability for CAN based control systems. Applications such as power management, control, and integration benefit from the scalability and flexibility of SIMRIO nodes. Whether the need is Research & Development, testing, prototyping, or even production, the SIMRIO can be that missing link that allows equipment, components, devices to communication on a high speed CAN bus network.

 

The onboard ADC of the SIMRIO can accommodate many types of sensors including current transducers, thermocouples, strain gauges, voltage, pressure sensors, flow meters, etc.

 

SIMRIO Enables:

  • Condition Based Maintenance (CBM)
    • Diagnostics / Prognostics
  • Situational Awareness of Vehicle Sub-Systems / Loads / Devices

 

The SIMRIO is enclosed in a rugged aluminum packaged designed to survive the most challenging environments. The small lightweight size is convenient for placing in the smallest spaces close to the point of concern.

 

The SIMRIO can perform local closed loop control with the built-in output functions as well as macro control from a bus networked controller such as a Power Management Controller.

 

The SIMRIO is ideal for thermal management applications where multiple temperature sense points are required. With intelligent onboard software, the SIMRIO is also well suited for condition based maintenance applications where pattern recognition, condition learning, historical tracking, and other advanced monitoring functions are required.

The SIMRIO can be networked on the CAN bus to work in concert with many SIMPCUs and many other CAN devices to provide data collection and control for power management applications. The SIMRIO could relay data to a SIMPMC which in turn can translate to many other networks and protocols including wireless ethernet, USB, Zigbee, as well as industrial networks such as Modbus, LonWorks, BACnet, Ethernet/IP, Metasys, DH+, Profibus, ControlNet, SNMP, etc.
