Profibus PC interface card manufacturers

AcQ InduCom
AcQ InduCom in the Netherlands is leading in design, development and supply of embedded computer hardware and software. We provide a wide range of standard products according to the M-module, VMEbus, PCI, PMC and CompactPCI standards and MIL-STD-1553 (STANAG 3838/3910) units. To support the modular hardware, we have developed a modular software concept, called APIS (AcQ's Platform Interface Software). Based on APIS a wide range of operating systems is supported, like Windows XP/NT/98, Dos, VxWorks, QNX, Linux, SunOS, OS-9. Thanks to APIS, new emerging operating systems can swiftly be supported, without having to take the specification of your operating systems and hardware platforms into account. Our products inconspicuously find their destinations in everyday life. Our products are for example used for control systems for trams and trains, traffic control installations, aircraft and simulators, wireless telecommunication networks, automation systems for the meat producing, and automotive industry. Our products are sold worldwide through an international network of selected distributors.
