Description -m- Item # 21001023

BRAND NEW Adatek CU10 Series E, industrial controller, still in its factory-sealed antistatic bag. This is the cpu/processor CONTROL UNIT (not the System 10 Digital I/O Expansion Module.) Back in the 1980/90s I was a design engineer; I built and programmed a number of systems using Adatek controllers. Purchased as a spare, this brand new sealed-bag unit has been in my possession ever since, stored indoors in a heated/AC spare room in my home. My recollection is that it was purchased right around 1990.

Please note: Although this unit is “new old stock”, and in its factory-sealed bag, it does NOT come with any warranty. The manufacturer is long defunct, and the item is sold AS-IS, NO RETURNS.

UPDATE, 5 Oct 2021
An inquiry arrived asking which version motherboard. I slit a small, ~1/2 inch square, “flap” into the antistatic bag, so that I could see and photograph the screen-printing on the motherboard, it reads “CPV20” (or perhaps CPU20) and “10031”, see the added image 100_3920 in photos. Photos of the included “Software Compatibility Chart”, front and back, have also been added.

Adatek was an industrial controls company, founded by Ray Pelland in Sandpoint Idaho back in the 1980's. It's "State Logic" language was innovative and ahead of its time; far advanced from the typical PLC “ladder logic” controller of the day.

If you are a collector of Vintage Tech, then Adatek's unique approach of State Logic belongs in your museum. On the other hand, if you have a piece of (legacy) factory equipment that has one of these controllers in it, then this controller might be the critically-needed spare that someday you just gotta' have to keep your production line running.
