  • Configurable, connectorized server-augmented control system
    Patent number: 10404529
    Abstract: A configurable, connectorized system for providing supervisory and distributed control dramatically reduces the number of wire connections that must be made to connect sensors and actuators to a control system, reducing the number of different control hardware components required to connect one or more sensors and actuators through use of a configurable I/O module.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 30, 2013
    Date of Patent: September 3, 2019
    Assignee: XIO, INC.
    Inventors: Paul Sagues, Mauritz Botha
  • Configurable Solenoid Actuation Method and Apparatus
    Publication number: 20160078990
    Abstract: A configurable, connectorized method and apparatus for driving a solenoid coil reduces energy consumption and heating of the solenoid coil, allows detection of the solenoid state, and simplifies connections to the solenoid.
