MAX ; First, CUBLOC is way easier than a microcontroller.
Second, you don't need to buy a separate compiler, emulator, and all that jazz. You just need a CUBLOC module, study board and a serial cable. Third, you will be able to spend more time designing, instead of spending grueling hours behind the computer.
Think of CUBLOC as C language and a typical microcontroller as assembly language. With CUBLOC, you will be able to create something much bigger and faster.
CUBLOC is a higher level embedded controller, meaning you do not have to invent the wheel all over again.
You can simply add an LCD, Touch Screen, and create a professional device within hours, not months.

Q.

I am a total beginner.
Will it help me to learn CUBLOC before learning microcontrollers?

MAX ; Most defintely!  By learning to use CUBLOC, you will be able to quickly learn how to enable LEDs, switches, and graphic LCDs.  If  you use microcontrollers, the same things would take you at least 6 months.  With our CUBLOC  you can learn all this in less than a week!

Q.

I am trying to make an industrial machinery and I only know LADDER, What do I do Max?

MAX ; Don't worry you can simply just use LADDER only at the beginning.  Since you have experience with PLCs, you will be able to quickly adapt to CUBLOC LADDER LOGIC.  Once you get used to the LADDER, you can try a little bit of BASIC at a time until you are comfortable.  After that, you will become a pro at both LADDER and BASIC.  You see, you can do a lot more things in BASIC that you couldn't do in LADDER.
Now you have a chance to build further on your PLC skills!

Q.

What kind of products can I make with CUBLOC?

MAX ; For example, you will be able to make production machinery, factory equipment, monitor and control systems, robots, internet-enabled monitoring and update systems, and many more!  The limits are only your imagination.
If you need to develop something quickly and be able to update it in the future, CUBLOC is the one for you!

Q.

What is in CUBLOC?

MAX ; CUBLOC's main chip is an Atmel 8 bit RISC microcontroller.  We have developed a BASIC interpreter and LADDER processor Operating System and embedded it in the microcontroller.  When user created programs, it gets stored in its Flash memory.  Once powered is cycled (turned OFF and ON), the program that was last stored to the Flash memory is executed.

Q.

I have been using PLCs, what is the advantage of switching to CUBLOC?

MAX ; Well if you use PLCs, the size of your final product will be large, and maintenance costs will be high.
Plus, think about all the labor costs of putting the PLC together.  If you use CUBLOC, you will be able to reduce the size of your final product, go into production using PCBs, and cut the overall product, maintenance, and labor costs by many factors.

Q.

What happens if you connect to the internet?

MAX ; You can use XPORT internet module to connect to the internet and be able to remotely control, monitor, and download new programs to your CUBLOC, CuTOUCH, and CuBASE.  By using XPORT, you will be able to cut travel costs and time by being able to control your device from anywhere in the world!
Simply use an XPORT dongle to connect XPORT to your CUBLOC.  Then use our FREE Java Server software to enable your module!

Q.

Can I use CuTOUCH instead of the Touch Screen I am using now?

MAX ; Well, most touch screens only have a graphic user interface.
They do not possess the capability to act as a PLC or an embedded computer.  CuTOUCH not only has a touch screen support, it also embeds CUBLOC so the user may program using BASIC and/or LADDER.

Q.

We want to go into mass-production with CUBLOC, can we get discounts? development?

MAX ; Yes, we can give you discounts by providing you with case-less CUBLOCs or chip-type CUBLOCs for massproduction.  For the chip-type CUBLOC, we will provide you with the Atmel chip with our BASIC interpreter and LADDER processor embedded.  
For development of actual products, depending on the size of the project and length of development time and availability, we can give you a quote.  Please ask our engineering team for more information.

You can call us or email support@comfiletech.com

Q.

What do I need to get started?

MAX ; I recommend the START KIT.  The START KIT includes a CUBLOC module, study board, Manual, install CD, and some wires. (9V 500mA Adaptor must be purchase separately or you can use your own)
The START KIT has LEDs, switches, Volume Knobs, piezo, breadboard, and other peripherals so you can quickly learn and test your CUBLOC.
