The DX1000 and the DX2000 provide up to 12 or 48 Universal input channels respectively, providing high performance standalone recording functions. It can be used in various applications as an easy to use, traditional paperless recorder.

Using Modbus TCP communications, YOKOGAWA’s MW100 data acquisition platform and other vendor’s I/O products can be the source of many additional input channels. In this manner, up to 240 external channels can be input to DXAdvanced. Using optional math channels, 60 additional external inputs can be acquired for a total of 300. Start small and scale up your system by adding additional MW100 input modules, as you need them.

When connecting MW100s to the DX2000 via Modbus/TCP, the channels of the MW100s (the Modbus servers) on the network are assigned to the DX2000 automatically. With just a simple operation, the MW100 channels are recognized and assigned to the DX expansion channels automatically, making Modbus register settings and other setup unnecessary. More easily than ever, you can take advantage a PC-free, distributed multipoint data acquisition system using the DX2000 and MW100s.

* This function only available on a DX2000 with the external input channel function (/MC1 option). Also, MW100s that support auto channel assignment are those with firmware version R2.22 or later.

A new fast sampling mode on 2, 4, and 8 input DXAdvanced models provides a scan interval of 25 ms. All other models support a 125 ms scan speed in this mode. This capability allows all DXAdvanced models to capture and record fasttransient input signals.
