Signal conditioning systems

GE Fanuc has released its DaqScribe DSC-2200 series of signal conditioning systems and the DSC-2200.Net network-centric data acquisition systems.

Both are housed in 2U rackmount enclosures.

The DSC-2200 supports up to 32 channels of signal conditioning — each of which is fully programmable and can be configured with its own ‘personality module’ — per chassis.

Personality modules include the DSC-2210 module for programmable amplification and filtering, the DSC-2220 module for strain gauge conditioning and the DSC-2240 for ICP conditioning.

Multiple user programmable gain (from 0.1 to 1000) and filter settings (4-pole Bessel, Butterworth or Chebychev with three low-pass selections in addition to a wideband option) per channel can be selected.

Analog bandwidth up to 1 MHz per channel is supported and ethernet connectivity is achieved via GUI-based software.

The DSC-2200.Net is designed to support low-to medium-speed network-centric applications via the addition of a 16-bit, 1 MHz analog to digital converter with an ethernet controller to the DSC-2200.

LXI compliant and as easy to install as a network printer, the system supports between 16 and 256 (in increments of 16) channels of analog input through a single master unit and multiple units can be synchronised for higher channel counts. It provides user-programmable sampling up to 1 MHz at 16-bit resolution. The DSC-2200.Net is provided with DSS160 software to enable turnkey operation, supporting real-time tabular and graphical displays.
