Dewesoft KRYPTON ONE data acquisition modules

Most data acquisition instruments are designed for the laboratory or a factory floor environment and don’t fare well when exposed to extreme temperatures, water spray, submersion, or high-shock and vibration situations.

To address this need, Dewesoft has released its multichannel KRYPTON data acquisition modules, which offer up to 16 channels each. Designed with an IP67 degree of protection, the modules are robust and designed to operate in temperatures anywhere from -40 to +85°C and 100% humidity.

Krypton modules communicate with each other using the EtherCAT protocol over a single cable that provides data, synchronisation and power, which means can be daisy-chained and spread out over 100 m from node to node.

Engineers have quickly adopted the KRYPTON series, mounting them right up against running car and aircraft engines or anywhere where extreme temperatures are found. Humidity is no issue for a product that can be completely submerged underwater.

The latest KRYPTON ONE series allows the placement of the conditioner as close to the sensor as possible, even in extremely hostile environments such as engine compartments. This results in short sensor cables, improving the signal quality.

The single-channel modules measure 62 x 56 x 29 mm and are machined from an aluminium brick. After the industrial-grade electronics are installed, the units are then sealed with thermally conductive and electrically isolating rubber. The units are waterproof and shockproof, withstanding shocks up to 100g.
