Layer 2 and 3 managed Ethernet switch
GE Fanuc Embedded Systems has brought out the rugged RES-110 Layer 2 and 3 managed Ethernet switch.
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 (four-pole Bessel, Butterworth or Chebychev with three lowpass selections in addition to a wideband option) per channel can be selected.
analogue bandwidth up to 1MHz 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 16bit, 1MHz analogue to digital convertor (ADC) with an Ethernet controller to the DSC-2200.
LXI-compliant, and as easy to install as a network printer, the DSC-2200.Net system supports between 16 and 256 (in increments of 16) channels of analogue input through a single master unit, and multiple units can be synchronised for higher channel counts.
It provides user-programmable sampling up to 1MHz at 16bit resolution.
The DSC-2200.Net is provided with the powerful, versatile DSS160 software suite to enable turnkey operation, supporting real-time tabular and graphical displays.
The user has full control of the DSC2200.Net configuration over the network.
Sampling rate is provided by an internal programmable clock which can also be used as an output to synchronise external equipment or other units.
Onboard memory provides data buffering to manage network traffic variations while configured to minimise data latency.
For maximum flexibility, the DSC-2200.Net supports the same personality modules as the DSC-2200, and provides digitised data over Ethernet and buffered analogue output.
It is planned that a complete line of network-centric products will be developed to support a wide variety of sensor inputs such as bridge, ICP, charge amplifiers, thermocouples, RTD and discrete I/O.
