Premier

The Premier is a well-known bender control designed by Eaton Leonard. Every Premier control has communications capabilities embedded and switched on. The image on the right shows an Eaton Leonard bender control. It is a DOS-based computer in a Rittal enclosure. In the 1990s and on, this is probably the most prolific control in the world: This control uses an electronic communications protocol that Eaton Leonard refers to as "Current Loop". VTube-LASER measuring center software can communicate with Premier controls using current loop electronics inside a Benderlink Ethernet Module. See the VTube-LASER to Eaton Leonard Premier Communications Tutorial for information on how the connection works. See Benderlink Ethernet Module for information on the electronics module used for connection.
