The DC100 expandable model is a next-generation data collector that can evolve to suit changing business needs. Select from the wide range of I/O modules and communication modules and install them yourself -- this is true design flexibility. The I/O channels can be expanded and modified according to your needs. This not only allows you to build up a data acquisition and recording system as your application needs grow, but the architecture also requires less initial investment.
- Measuring interval:
500 ms/300 channels minimum
- Number of input channels:
10 to 300 channels. Expansion and modification via subunits.
- Expandability:
Up to six subunits can be connected to the main unit. The cable length between the main unit and subunits can be extended up to 500 m.
- AC V and DC V powered models available.
- Flexible, Distributed, Remote Data Acquisition and Recording System
The DC100 expandable model consists of a main unit, subunits, input/output and communications modules. By connecting the main unit to multiple subunits with the dedicated cable of up to 500 m total length, you can easily configure a recording/data acquisition environment ranging from 10 to 300 channels. Another key feature is its ability to scan up to 300 channels every 500 ms. You can also install one subunit on the back of the main unit of the hybrid recorder.
- Main Unit (DC100-2)
Data are measured by the various input modules installed in the distributed subunits and are acquired and stored into the memory of the main unit. Or, by dividing the memory into multiple data files of specified data lengths or of identical sizes, the measured data can be acquired and stored in a data file while transferring another data file to an external memory device.
Furthermore, by connecting a communication module such as the GP-IB, RS-232C, or RS-422A/485 module, data can be transferred in real-time to a PC at the same time as they're being captured into the DC100 memory.
- Subunit (DS400 or DS600, for DC100 expandable model)
A subunit acts as an interface for connecting the main unit of the DC100 expandable model to one or several input modules. There are two types of subunits, the DS400 which permits connection of up to four input and output modules, and the DS600 which permits connection of up to six input and output modules.
