ACTUATE - Versatile auomation tools to build and expand your project

ACTUATE is a series of extension boards that work in conjunction with the versatile PIC development PCBs on offer. The PCB is capable of supporting devices from both the 16F and 18F devices. The PCB may include additional features and functionality to enhance the module's capability.
The range of Actuate I/O boards is designed to supplement the existing H-MATIX product range. The primary difference between an ACTUTAE and a H-MATIX product is that the ACTUTAE I/O boards have no integrated intelligence, ie there is no microcontroller to provide logic or system rules. Owing to this, for example, Input 1 is tied to Output 1. However with a H-MATIX board, Input 1 would be tied by the software to a designated output.

Capabilities
The ACTUATE is designed primarily as a series of extension or expansion modules. As your project expands, it may grow beyond the onboard hardware I/O available. When this takes place, there is usually MCU capability, however there is insufficient inputs or outputs. This is where the ACTUATE comes into play where the modules offer relay PCBs, opto input capability and this serves to enable the PIC based I/ O board to interface with higher powered circuits.
Deploy Applications
Embedded applications range from standalone systems which control a single element, to wired or wireless applications interconnected for reporting and monitoring. ACTUATE is an ideal, cost effective and well supported series of modules.
