DEWE-ORION-1624 Dewetron A/D Data Acquisition Board

The Dewetron DEWE-ORION A/D Data Acquisition Boards offer simultaneous sampling of all analog input channels by using a separate A/D converter for each channel. But more than this all digital I/Os, counters, encoders and the on-board CAN interfaces are acquired synchronized, too. To reach multi-channel instruments several cards can be installed within a single unit. All cards are synchronized via the internal sync-bus to ensure absolute simultaneous sampling of all channels. For high channel count or distributed systems multiple instruments can be synchronized using the ORION-SYNC option. Depending on distance and local preconditions there are several choices how to use this option. The easiest way is to simply daisy-chain all instruments by sync-cables. Standard CAT6 cables with RJ45 connectors can be used for short distances. The maximum length depends on the sampling rate and the A/D technology and ranges between 30 m to 200 m. For large distances which do not allow physical connection of the instruments a Dewetron sync-interface using GPS or IRIG time is connected to the ORION-SYNC input. The ingenious driver design enables total continuous gap-free disk storing rates of more than 100 MB/s.
