GAGE BOX™

MODULAR DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM

Enlarge the image

The Gage Box remote Data Acquisition System is a shop floor proof, expandable gauging system.

The system is composed of dedicated, stackable modules to manage analog sensors and digital Input/Output signals.

All modules are daisy-chained together and exchange measurement data, programming data and I/O signals with the E9066T™ Industrial PC through an USB or a simple RS232 serial link. Any commercial PC can also be used.

The system allows direct interfacing and data collection from TESTAR probes or measuring cells, and from a wide variety of third party sensors.

All data acquisition functions (sampling, signal conditioning, A/D conversion) are performed locally (freeing the computer from any overhead or operating system latency), and then conveniently transferred to the system's companion Industrial PC, the E9066T™, or to any PC-compatible data collector, via USB or a standard RS232 port.

• Main Processor Module, including basic Digital I/O for simple application needs (e.g. footswitch, cycle commands, resume lamp column)
• Data Acquisition Modules for full-bridge (LVDT), half-bridge (HBT), Strain Gauge sensors or DC signals
• Digital I/O Modules for cycle commands, BCD output for machine tool compensation or dedicated I/O commands
• Maximum distance between Processor and PC: 10 meters (RS232); 25 meters (USB/high speed serial)

• Processor module for data synchronization and communication with the PC
• Data Acquisition modules (DAQ):

• 16 analog sensors per module
• Up to 8 DAQ modules: 8 x 16 =128 sensors
• Sensors type full-bridge (LVDT), half-bridge (HBT), Strain Gauge and DC
• Different sensor type modules can be mixed together (i.e. LVDT+HBT)

• Digital I/O modules

• 32 I/O per module
• Up to 8 I/O modules: 8 x 32 =256 I/O

• All modules are daisy chained to the Processor Module
• Dimensions: 280 x 70 x 225 mm (71"x 17.8"x 57.1")
• Power supply: universal AC input (external) or 24Vdc

• All modules are configured with a simple download command from Quick SPC™ software
• Static and dynamic measurements (smooth and interrupted surfaces, manual and automatic part rotation)
• Compatible with Quick SPC™ software (versions for MS-DOS® and Windows® operating systems)
• Interfaceable to third party data collection software

• E9066T - THIN PANEL INDUSTRIAL COMPUTER
• QUICK SPC - STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL (SPC) AND QUALITY CONTROL SOFTWARE
