OWNER’S GUIDE SIGNAL/SENSOR ADAPTERS | 11273
MSI Operation within DS-7
When you plug any one of them into the analog inputs, the software will detect it and show its name and se-
rial number on the main channel setup screen, as shown here:
⇒ The only exception to automatic identication within DS-7 is the DAQP-BRIDGE-A module, which does not have
TEDS interface. Therefore, although they will literally work, it is not convenient to use MSI adapters with that
signal conditioner. The DAQP-STG-D is a much better choice.
Adapters
ADAP series interfaces are passive adapters, available for various types of signal inputs. Unlike MSI inter-
faces, they are not controlled under the software, nor do they have a TEDS interface inside. They are strictly
passive adapters. A popular one, for example, has a precision 50Ω resistor inside it, wired across the inputs,
which serves as a current shunt for 0-20 mA applications.
Following these single function adapters is a table with the most popular adapters for wider applications.
ADAP-BNC-MICRODOT
The DAQP-CHARGE-A module comes with an adapter from microdot connector to BNC,
allowing you to connect charge sensors with the small 10-32 microdot connectors to the
BNC input. This adapter is also available for purchase for the DAQP-CHARGE-A, or to be used in conjunc-
tion with the MSI-BR-CH-50 and MSI-V-CH-50 charge interfaces.
ADAP-CAN-OPT-ISO
Isolation adapter for one CAN BUS interface. This small interface plugs into a
standard DSUB9 CAN BUS interface connector, and provides real isolation be-
tween the vehicle CAN bus and the Dewetron CAN interface. This is very often
needed in electrically noisy environments, and on military vehicles.
- Being passive, ADAP series adapters do not show up on the DS-7 setup screen.
However, you can select them manually in many cases, as we will show below.
