The COSA® Integration Kit is your all-in-one starter package for building and testing with North Atlantic Industries’ Configurable Open Systems Architecture™ (COSA®) technology. Everything you need—hardware, breakout tools, power supply, pinout templates, and software—is in one box, so you can go from unboxing to running applications in hours, not days.
NAI's Configurable Open Systems Architecture™ (COSA®) products deliver unmatched interoperability and scalability, enabling your systems to evolve with your program's needs. The CIU3 easily facilitates migrations to NAI's Nano Interface Units (NIUs) and Sensor Interface Units (SIUs)to expand functionality, making it the ideal starting point for projects of any scale. Whether initiating a new program or upgrading an existing system, the CIU3 ensures smooth transitions, scalable solutions, and minimal reconfiguration.
From the moment you connect your CIU3 to your laptop, you will see why the COSA® Integration Kit is built for productivity. Right in front of you: a large pinout template, the COSA® Connect splash screen on your laptop, and a breakout board giving you fast, direct access to your I/O. (See graphic below.)
Designed for hands-on development, the COSA® Integration Kit contains the same high-performance CIU3 hardware used in deployed systems—paired with tools that make prototyping faster and easier.
1.) P1 Power Cable: Simple, standard connection from day one.
2.) USB-A to RS-232 Adapter: Reliable legacy interface for smooth device communication.
3.) Screwdriver and Hex Key: Sized for your kit's connectors.
4.) Onboard Module Pinout Overlay Cards: Big, clear pinout templates for immediate wiring reference.
5.) Jumper Wire Kit: Wiring included for terminal block connections.
6.) CIU Breakout Board and Legs: Quick access to every inboard and onboard signal for easy lab integration.
7.) CIU3 Embedded Multifunction I/O System: Fully populated with inboard I/O and up to 3 COSA® function module slots.
With the COSA® Integration Kit, your journey from concept to deployment begins immediately. The same hardware, software, and API you use to prototype in the lab are fully compatible with deployed NAI systems—ensuring seamless transitions and zero rework.
Transition seamlessly from development to deployment with the CIU3 Embedded Multifunction I/O System
The CIU3 delivers the same high-performance hardware you've used in the COSA® Integration Kit, making it easy to move your application from lab to the field.
