RDP's modular 600 electronics system combines signal conditioning, power and local display facilities in a Eurocard format for a wide range of transducers.

Plug-in modules provide I/O options, conditioning and data logging for up to 164 transducer channels.

A key element in the modular 600 system is the 650 digital I/O and data storage module.

At a basic level, the 650 provides a real-time LED display of any selected channel in the system.

The 650 also acts as a data hub into which a PC can be connected.

Serial data can be sent via RS232, RS422 or RS485, and RDP Electronics provides freeware, downloadable from its website, to enable a PC to capture data directly to a Microsoft Excel file.

Using this data-logging format on the PC provides the user with a powerful tool to create custom logging, real-time analysis and graphical reports.

In addition to external data logging features, the 650 range can be programmed to monitor and store channel values internally, uploading the stored to a PC for analysis after the data logging function has completed.

Two versions of the 650 module are available with a choice of data storage capacities.

The 650 stores up to 10,240 channel readings and the 650ME1 has an increased capacity of 65,536 readings.
