Example Product Configurations for Power Generation
Industry: Power Generation
Application: Turbine blade analysis
Priority: High-speed, accurate sampling from strain gauges.
System Needs: The system needs to accomplish fast sampling of dynamic strain measurements on moving parts, as opposed to traditional, lower frequency strain measurements for which most data acquisition systems are designed.
System Solution: A LAN-based test system for dynamic strain based on the ProDAQ 3424, a function card that has the features needed for strain measurements and connects directly to a strain conditioning device with high enough bandwidth to connect collect data at higher sampling rates.
Products:
- 2x ProDAQ 6100 LXI Function Card Carrier
- 4x ProDAQ 3424 8-Channel, 24-Bit, Sigma-Delta ADC Function Card
- 2x ProDAQ 3202 Programmable Voltage Reference Plug-in for 3180-AA or 6100-AA
- 1x ProDAQ 6210 19 in. Rack-Mount Tray for two 6100 carriers
- 2x ProDAQ 5716 16-ch. bridge signal cond. LEMO input
- 4x ProDAQ 8010-BC 1 m data I/O cable, SCSI connectors, differential configuration
