Systems Build
Orbit is a simple solution to building measurement systems
without incurring the high costs normally associated with
bespoke networks. The linear encoder PIE has a "D-Type"
connector - which slots neatly into the "T-Con"
connector. The T-Con is an ingenious accessory that can be
used individually, daisy chained using standard computer cable,
or banked together in blocks to form a multi-channel nest.
A positive locking mechanism on the T-Con prevents the PIE
connector being accidentally dislodged while allowing instant
removal and replacement.
