A streamlined DA100 is available in two version, a standalone model that can acquire data from up to 40 channels, plus an expandable model with a maximum of 300 channels. Both models transfer your measured variables, such as temperature, flow rate, strain, etc., using a new label of small size, field changeable input modules, via a general purpose communications interface (RS-232-C, RS-422A/RS-485, or GPIB, Ethernet), in realtime to a PC.
The DA100 is compatible with a personal computer and achieves excellent expandability and economical benefits for wide range of applications, from small-scale data logging to multipoint data acquisition.
The expandable model enables you to easily connect subunits to the main unit with a twisted pair cable. The availability of a wide variety of modules combined with simple readily adaptable construction , enables the configuration of the DA100 to be easily and quickly changed or expanded in order to meet changes in the application requirements, even in the field. The high level of user configurability the DA100 enables the user to freely configure a data acquisition environment that matches the particular application, and also effective in reducing initial investment and maintenance cost, while considering future expansion requirements.
DA100 Stand-Alone Model
Occupying little space, it is suitable for small scale data logging and can be carried about easily.
- You can connect from 10 to 40 channels of input modules, as well as one general purpose communication module and channel alarm output modules, directly to the main unit.
- Measurement interval : 500 ms / 40 ch minimum.
DA100 Expandable Model
The DA100 expandable model consists of the main unit, subunits and input modules. You can easily configure a multi-channel data acquisition environment by connecting the main unit to several subunits using dedicated cables.
- The number of input channels can be increased from 10 to 300 channels in 10-channel increments.
- Measurement interval : As fast as 500 ms.
- Up to six subunits can be connected to one main unit, and up to six input and/or output modules can be connected to each subunits. Subunits can be separated from the main unit by up to 500 m total system cable length.
