Dewesoft IOLITE data acquisition system

The Dewesoft IOLITE data acquisition system has two fully redundant EtherCAT bus systems that work in parallel. The primary bus is used for synchronised data acquisition via DEWESoft X software and the secondary bus can be used in two ways: as a low-latency front-end interface for real-time controllers or as a redundant data acquisition bus system for critical application input slots and amplifiers.

The IOLITE chassis can be configured with up to 12 slots, each featuring high-quality input amplifiers, including the 6xSTG, a universal analog and strain gauge amplifier that is compatible with Dewesoft smart interface DSI adapters, the 8xTH isolated thermocouple amplifier, a 32xDI 32-channel digital input and the 32xDO 32-channel digital output with watchdog.

Each IOLITE system is equipped with a redundant power supply. If the primary power supply fails, the system will be powered by a secondary power supply without any interruption or system shutdown/restart.

A feature of the IOLITE is it allows the operator to acquire and monitor the data in daily operations while tuning the control system. Apart from monitoring the input channels on the data acquisition bus, the system can also monitor the outputs from the controller.

The system comes in a standard 19″ rack chassis (4U height and can host up to 12 IOLITE modules) or a standalone aluminium chassis providing eight slots for IOLITE input and output slices to be installed.
