END OF LIFE LIST has been distributed
.
August 15, 2010. Due to component obsolescence and
other factors, a number of our older products have
reached End of Life. We are contacting prior
customers to establish future needs and product
requirements. If we determine that there is
sufficient desire for a new version of the EOL
product(s), we will reimplement some of these
designs with modern components and continue
manufacturing them.
BE ADVISED, EOL products with insufficient
customer demand will continue to be sold
only until existing inventory is gone!

8192 Counts/Turn REC Resolver Converter
.
August 2010. The original REC design had the same
resolution as a 1024-line encoder, giving 4096
quadrature counts per turn. The latest version of
the REC provides 8192 counts per turn. No changes
to the wiring are required. Available now.
OLDER NEWS/CHANGE NOTICES.
ISA ENCoderDAC
The last large run of ISA EncDAC circuit boards
was manufactured in 2001, and one final small batch in 2005.
We still have a few 4-channel and 8-channel boards in stock.
This product will be delisted from our product offerings
when present stock is depleted. Similarly, I/O cables used with the
ISA EncDAC will be delisted from our product offerings when present stock is depleted.
Digital I/O Expanders
In November 2003 we posted
notice here that the ExpanderDig products were slated for discontinuation,
as their functionality had been incorporated into newer, lower
cost products (the ExpDigRelayxx products and the PCI-DIGxx products.)
At that time we also announced that the Encoder/DAC product line
was headed for a design revision due to component obsolescence,
and that we intended to upgrade these products as part of the
design revision...
PCI Dig144, ExpDigRel24
and ExpDigRel128 boards continue to be popular and remain in production,
with no changes in pricing.
DISCONTINUED PRODUCTS
.
As of October, 2004, ExpDig64 and ExpDig128
board production has ended and all stock has been sold. Digital
I/O cables used with ExpDig64 and ExpDig128 Expanders will be
delisted from our product offerings when present stock is depleted.
PCI EncDAC combination product options which used ExpDig64 and
ExpDig128 Expanders have been delisted from the product price list.
EMC Linux support for
Vigilant EncoderDAC boards.
The Enhanced Machine Controller
site www.linuxcnc.org suggests that their freeware supports the
Vigilant ISA EncDAC board (now obsolete) and the 4-axis PCI EncDAC board.
As far as we can tell, their code utilizes only a small portion of
our board's functionality.
Vigilant Products is willing to assist any developer who will continue this
development under our direction.
