Trend IQ3/XNC

The IQ3/XNC provides a flexible way of interfacing the IQ system with 3rd party systems. It utilises both standard IQ configuration modules and the Trend Custom Language (TCL) to present information from other systems as though it were from an IQ controller. It also allows parameters within the 3rd party system to be adjusted from IQ system Supervisor and Tool software. The optional serial auxiliary board (/SER/) provides an additional RS232 or RS485 (2/4 wire) (or also RS422) port for communicating with other devices.

The IQ3/XNC enables interfacing between the IQ system and 3rd party systems. The functionality can be divided into three sections: system, firmware, and hardware. Special additional firmware can be provided by a TCL application; these are created by Trend Interface Specialists (TIS) who can provide both bespoke applications and generic applications for commonly used equipment. The TIS may provide the application in soft format, or pre-loaded into the IQ3. The application can be tied to one controller or available for general download.
