EtherCAT Data Acquisition
This data acquisition system also uses 100 Mbit datalink thanks to its EtherCAT protocol technology. The Kryptons fast data bus allows users to daisy-chain Krypton Units together. Furthermore, at the end of the chain, the RJ45 cable plugs into the Ethernet port of your PC or 8-pin LEMO connector. As a result it’s able to connect to powerful computers liken the Krypton CPU, SBOX R2DB, R4 or R8.
In addition to this, the EtherCAT brings another big advantage – zero configuration. This is because Krypton devices do not require any complex IP setup. This is in thanks to Krypton’s Dewesoft X software which automatically recognises and set up devices.
Finally, only a single cable required for data, power, and synchronization. This cable can can run up to 100 meters (300 feet) from module to module connecting amplifiers together.
Small & Flexible Data Acquisition
Krypton data acquisition modules are small, rugged, and modular. As a result, they are perfect for field measurements in any environment and can fit perfectly in tight places near sensors. Therefore, by removing the need for cables users can save money, effort and avoid writing errors. This feature also helps users bring data acquisition closer to the origin of data, thus improving signal quality as a result.
Krypton DAQ modules are robust. Their build consists of aluminium bricks and industrial-grade electronics. Additionally, thermally conductive and electrically isolative rubber seals the units. Finally, a rubber band around the KRYPTON chassis further protects it from shocks. As a result, it’s waterproof, shockproof and can withstand shocks up to 100G. Furthermore, the Krypton can also operate in extremely harsh environments. For example operating temperatures can span from -40°C to +85°C.
