Knoxville, TN – Online Development’s TECLA™ programmable data processors are designed with the features to help manufacturers and processors easily communicate with and control plant and warehouse floor devices. For example the TECLA, currently shipping with Microsoft® Windows® CE.NET version 4.2 operating system, provides compatibility with many popular visualization, spreadsheet, control, data acquisition, Internet, barcode, and enterprise software.
This compatibility simplifies communicating factory and warehouse data to users throughout the enterprise to enhance productivity and profitability.TECLA processors also offer rugged construction to withstand the effects of harsh environments. Their “disk-on-chip” storage design eliminates the shock, vibration, and grit problems associated with rotating disk drives in conventional PCs. In addition, the optimized design of these processors also eliminates the need for a cooling fan to further reduce contamination problems.
To protect against the loss of real time data during a power outage, TECLA includes DataSafe™ technology that saves real-time data just like a typical PLC.For application flexibility, TECLA processors offer standard PC communications ports that are not usually found in an industrial control such as USB, Ethernet®, PS/2, serial and SGA video. But like industrial controls, TECLA is available with embedded high-performance I/O and popular Allen-Bradley® I/O can be directly plugged into the unit.
Custom application modules are also available for added flexibility such as extra serial ports, PCMCIA/Cardbus, DeviceNet™ and embedded protocols.TECLA programmable data processors are manufactured by Online Development, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of automation, control, data acquisition, and communications hardware and software. Since the company’s founding in 1988, Online Development has specialized in integrating PC and PLC technologies to enhance enterprise connectivity for companies like Rockwell Automation and ProSoft Technologies.
