PC-based Data Acquisition Unit
MX100
Features
Hardware Configuration
The MX is designed to enable desired measurement environments by combining three elements: the main module, input/output modules, and a base plate.
The assembled unit can be utilized on the desktop as-is (the modules have legs). Please note that DIN rails are used for rack-mounting.
Main Module (MX100)
The main module is the engine that controls data acquisition. It is equipped with a power supply, an Ethernet port, and a CompactFlash card slot. One main module can accommodate up to six input/output modules. The user can choose up to six moduels of any type.
Ethernet port:
For communication with the PC. Automatic recognition of 100Base-TX or 10Base-T
CF (CompactFlash) Card Slot:
With the CF Card, measured data is saved to the card if communication with the PC is interrupted. Since the card provides data backup, you do not have to worry about the possible loss of data even if the MX is configured for PC-based measurement.
