Since the great progress in both hardware and embedded operating system (OS), now a day, the PC-based data acquisition and control (DA&C) system has become increasingly reliable, accurate, and affordable. PC-based DA&C systems are most often used in industrial settings for process control, data acquisition, remote equipment monitoring, machine vision, motion control, and video surveillance. VITO series/OPC Gateway/DinoBlade, as an example, is a PC-based industrial universal controller which provides high speed expansion and rich networking functionality to enable your system with industrial I/O capability and turn your whole system into a PC-based data acquisition and control (DA&C) system.
