e-RT3 Products - Data Acquisition

High-speed Data Acquisition module

It features 6 or 12 analog input channels and 3 auxiliary input channels.
The auxiliary inputs can also be used for a 1-channel counter.

All channels for analog input operate simultaneously. In addition to fixed-cycle A/D conversion, A/D conversion synchronized with an external signal is also possible.

This module features not only a data acquisition function that stores data in the build-in buffer, but also a filter function, scaling function, and FFT function. The FFT function can be used to analyze acquired data inside the module.

Features

High-speed Conversion, High-speed Response, High Resolution

  • This module features simultaneous A/D conversion of 6 or 12 channels. It takes 10 µs from sampling to updating digital output values.
  • This module has a built-in analog low-pass filter for each analog input. The cutoff frequency of the filter is approximately 40 kHz, and its order is the second-order. This filter reduces the effect of aliasing.
  • This module features digital inputs as an auxiliary input. These inputs can be used for applying signals to initiate A/D conversion and start data acquisition, or as counter inputs. The input type is for 5V open collector output. They accept differential input signals and can also receive line driver outputs. The maximum pulse rate of the counter input is 2 Mpps.
  • This module uses 16-bit successive approximation ADCs.

Advanced Functions

  • Data acquisition function: This module can store A/D conversion results and counter values in the buffer inside the module. This acquisition process does not rely on the scan cycle of the CPU module, which enables data to be acquired at a high-speed, constant cycle. The shortest acquisition cycle is 5 µs, and the data buffer size is 2M words.
  • FFT function: FFT operation can be applied to acquired data. The maximum amount of data is 16,384 points. FFT can also be applied multiple times, and the results can be averaged.
  • Filter function: A/D conversion results can be filtered and then stored as data. Filtering is applied based on an A/D conversion cycle, and not an acquisition cycle. This can suppress the aliasing effect even if a longer acquisition cycle is configured.
  • Synchronized operation function: A/D conversion can be initiated synchronously with pulses to the auxiliary input or the built-in counter.
  • Product-sum operation function: The square of an analog input or the product of two analog inputs is calculated at each A/D conversion and that value is accumulated. This function can be used to calculate the RMS value of alternating voltage input and effective power.

High Common-mode Voltage between Channels

  • Voltages of up to 30 Vrms or DC ±60 V can be applied between channels.
