Selected SPLat controllers are designed to accept one SPice board at a time.
The Touch of SPice concept provides for a range of small, generally simply but very useful add-on boards
that can be used to provide special-purpose functionality to a SPLat controller.
This gives you access to functions that might otherwise be difficult, expensive or all but impossible to
source any other way. Our range of off the shelf SPice boards is growing all the time. Not only that,
if you need a function we don't have we can make you a custom SPice board for a minor fraction of what
a full custom controller could cost to develop. A custom SPice board can be cost-effective right down to
a single batch of 15 units!
Xwire: possibilities unlimited
Xwire allows 10 or more controllers and/or peripherals to be interconnected
Our new Xwire system bus allows multiple controllers and/or peripherals to be interconnected. It features
simple, low cost wiring and easy programming. Xwire peripherals are "smart " peripheral boards,
in that they have their own onboard processor and can therefore potentially provide very sophisticated functionality.
Xwire peripherals (most, if not all) will be supported by Active TemplatesTM. These are
programming tools, specific to each product, that make programming the peripheral extremely easy. Active Templates
allow you to enter your specific need into an on-screen wizard-like form, and will then automatically generate the
SPLat code to do what you want. More information: XwireActive Templates
Fluid level
Temperature
2 channels of fluid level (conductivity) switching and 3 channels of thermistor temperature measurement.
Compatibility: MMi20x, MMi99, SLxxx, MS12x
SPice10200 from $55 Qty 1
4 push buttons
Adds 4 push buttons (like the ones on MMi200 and MS12x). This board attaches to the controller via a flying lead,
so you can mount it behind a face plate.
Compatibility: MMi20x, MMi99, SLxxx, MS12x
SPice10203 from $24 Qty 1
Current transformer
A 5A 50/60Hz current transformer lets you monitor motor currents etc. This board also has two potentiometers for
arbitrary "analog" parameter settings.
Compatibility: MMi20x, MMi99, SLxxx, MS12x
SPice10204 from $65 Qty 1
Fluid level switching
Six channels of fluid level (conductivity) switching. Imagine the uses in pump controls or applications with tanks or vats of liquid.
Compatibility: MMi20x, MMi99, SLxxx, MS12x
SPice10205 from $59 Qty 1
Thermocouple
Xwire peripheral
Dual type K thermocouple interface measures up to 1024°C. Note: This is a new product that replaces the SPice10209
Compatibility: Xwire, Xwire over RS485
SX10500 from $99 Qty 1
Analog I/O
Add 2 analog inputs and up to 2 analog outputs. This is intended primarily as an analog I/O option
for the MS12x, but can also be used to add more analog to the other controllers.
Compatibility: MMi20x, MMi99, SLxxx, MS12x
SPice10211 from $49 Qty 1
8 channel analog input
Measure up to eight 0-10V analog inputs using this multiplexer board
Compatibility: MMi20x, MMi99, SLxxx, MS12
SPice10218 from $32 Qty 1
AC voltage measurement
Measure 3 channels of 50/60Hz AC voltage. This board is intended mainly for 3-phase voltage monitoring
in applications like genset control.
Compatibility: MMi20x, MMi99, SLxxx, MS12x
SPice10212 from $49 Qty 1
Potentiometer interface
Ideal where you need "analog" user controls or other potentiometer type inputs.
Includes one potentiometer onboard and accommodates three more user supplied potentiometers offboard
