On Field Instrumentation

Distributed I/O System

Description

• Rugged, portable and waterproof box
• Versatile power supply (110/220 Vac or 24 Vdc)
• Conditioning modules and sockets adapted to the sensors
• Link several of them to get a complex data acquisition system
• Immediate measurements with GenieDAQ

Advantages

• Reduce the strands of cables
• Conditioning system very close the sensor
• Very light boxes
• Easy to upgrade the data acquisition system
