On-board DAQ /PAD/HSI module slots
8 --
On-board MDAQ channels
-- 16
Compatible modules All DAQ, PAD, and HSI series plug-in signal conditioning
modules
All MDAQ-SUB series conditioners
Module configuration Any combination of 8 DAQ, PAD, and HSI modules can be
plugged in at any time. (See DAQ, PAD, and HSI tables)
One MDAQ-BASE-5 holds any two MDAQ-SUB modules
(See MDAQ table)
Modularity Plug-in modules can be removed with 2 screws, even when
power is applied to the system.
MDAQ conditioners are factory installed and are not field-
modular.
Input configuration Differential, isolated (See DAQ, PAD, and HSI section for
complete details)
Differential, non-isolated (See MDAQ section for complete
details)
Signal/sensor compatibility Voltages, currents, strain, pressure, acceleration, sound
pressure, temperature, force, displacement, and more. DAQ,
PAD and HSI modules are available which are compatible
with virtually all sensors in common use today.
Voltages, currents, strain, pressure, acceleration, sound
pressure, temperature, force, displacement, and more.
MDAQ modules (when combined with MSI adapters) are
available which are compatible with virtually all sensors in
common use today.
Detailed input specifications According to the installed signal conditioners and installed A/D cards
(see tables for DAQ, MDAQ, PAD, HSI, EPAD2, CPAD2 conditioners, and ORION and AD series A/D cards)
Max A/D card quantity
3 (using all three PCI slots for A/D cards)
Channel expansion - DYNAMIC input channels
Max channel expansion with analog
connection
96 dynamic channels (3 x 32 channel A/D cards inside, plus one or more expansion signal conditioning chassis (external)
Max channel expansion with PCI-bridge
connection
200 dynamic channels (8 internal plus external DEWE-51-PCI-192 chassis with PCI bridge interface to the mainframe)
Channel expansion - SLOW input Channels
Max EPAD2 series conditioners 16 (128 channels). EPAD2 modules provide 8 channels each. They are plugged into the standard EPAD connector, and
one is daisy-chained to the next one. The last EPAD2 module in the chain must have the small terminator plugged into it to
ensure that the communication bus works properly.
