SIRIUS® RT data acquisition systems combine high-end signal conditioning amplifiers and real-time EtherCAT data bus for low latency data output capability to 3rd party EtherCAT® real-time controllers.
 
The SIRIUS® RT DAQ systems can perform high-speed buffered data acquisition and feed real-time data to any 3rd-party EtherCAT® master such as Beckoff, MTS FlexTest, Syclone Clemessy, Labview, and others.
 
Data Acquisition and Real-Time Control Merged in One System
SIRIUS RT systems (R2rt, R4rt, and R8rt) offer our world-class data acquisition combined with a real-time low-latency EtherCAT bus. They incorporate the same SIRIUS data acquisition technologies, high-end signal conditioning, built-in SSD data logging, and a very powerful signal processing computer.
 
EtherCAT slave port allows the system to be connected to any 3rd party EtherCAT master or real-time controller. This allows the system to feed the acquired data in real-time.
 
Integrate Into Existing Test Bench Real-Time Controllers
Traditionally you need to purchase and configure additional control system I/O's to bring data from analog sensors and data acquisition systems to the test bench controllers. With SIRIUS RT systems this is done faster, cheaper, and also much more accurate.
 
1. Save Money One System for Multiple Tasks
SIRIUS RT systems will save you money on several stages of your testing process. The Dewesoft DualMode functionality will allow you to use the same system for highly accurate data acquisition as well as a signal conditioning device for your real-time test bench.
 
2. Save Time Simplified Configuration
R8rt DAQ system removes the clumsy and time-consuming configuration of additional analog I/O's required by the test bench controllers. Only one ethernet cable is needed between the R8rt instrument and the real-time controller.
 
3. Better Signal Quality Remove Clumsy Analog Cables
As previously mentioned, the SIRUS RT systems offer high-end signal conditioning amplifiers based on world-class SIRIUS data acquisition technology.
 
SIRIUS® modular system
If you prefer modularity we provide the same real-time capability within small SIRIUS® modular slices with EtherCAT® data interface (SIRIUSe).
 
Similarly to the bigger SIRIUS® RT rack units, SIRIUS® modular slices can use the USB interface to store the full-speed data to the connected PC running DewesoftX software and in parallel use the EtherCAT® interface to feed reduced data with low latency to external EtherCAT® masters.
 
Extend channel count with multiple SIRIUS® RT devices
When you need to scale your data acquisition system and extend input channels you can easily connect and synchronize multiple SIRIUS® RT devices. Any number of SIRIUS® R8rt, R4rt, R2rt, and/or SIRIUS® modular EtherCAT® units can be daisy-chained and combined to reach the desired channel configuration. There are virtually no limits on how to configure larger systems.
 
SIRIUS® signal conditioning technology
Data acquisition systems are built around our world-class SIRIUS® signal conditioning technology and offer the same top-performing technologies:
 
DualCoreADC® technology: high-dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
SuperCounter® technology: high-speed synchronized angle and speed measurement.
Galvanic isolation: channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground isolation for best signal quality and safety.
 
Available signal amplifiers
 
DualCoreADC® amplifiers
High-density (HD) amplifiers
High-speed (HS) amplifiers
 
DualCoreADC® signal conditioning technology
The DualCoreADC® technology solves often-faced problems with signal measurement:
 
signal input overload,
noise, and
artificial frequencies in the signal caused by aliasing.
 
Channel-to-channel galvanic isolation
SIRIUS DAQ devices offer high galvanic channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground isolation (±1000 V). The DAQ systems even offer isolated sensor excitation.
 
SuperCounters®: precise speed and angle measurement with counter and encoder sensors
Dewesoft data acquisition systems utilize a patented and registered trademark technology called SuperCounter®.
