OPERATIONS

The KEYNES CONTROLS LTD. model 4002 Ethernet data acquisition system is a industrial rack system equivalent to the desktop model 4001 instrument. The 4002 instrument contains all the same features of the 4001 model but is supplied in an industrial standard 6U X 28HP plug in module. This module contains an integral power supply and will fit directly into most instrument cabinets.

The flexibility of the system enables simple to use, large scale plant wide data acquisition and control applications to be created. Acquired data from a plant wide system can easily be examined using any networked data analysis system. Install a Pod in the workshop and see the data in comfort, on your office PC. Using simple menu commands pass the data to a colleague to create a truly unique data management tool.

Synchronisation Capabilities

The NetPod 4002 and 4001 models support synchronisation between inputs within an instruments and between instruments on a network, therefore providing a very efficient method for comparing operating characteristics for widely distributed monitoring operations

BENEFITS

• Distributed Data Review
• Utilise Existing Network Installation
• 1000V Common Mode Input Voltages
• Unlimited Channel Expansion
• Stand-alone & Network Control
• No Software Maintenance
• Open Systems Environment
• No System Configuration
• Simple To Operate

Due to the flexibility of the NP4000 Ethernet interface system, the instrument can be interfaced directly to most standard local area networks. The NP4000 communicates using standard TCP/IP protocol, providing a non-proprietary interface to virtually any host computer system. Each NP4000 has it's own unique IP address which is used to identify the units in the data acquisition software within a network.

Configuration - Plug & Go

What makes the control of the NP4000 unique is in it's simplicity to configure and operate. No longer do you have to worry about complex set-up routines, just plug and go. The KEYNES CONTROLS data recording software automatically detects each new Pod as it is connected to the network. All the user need do is assign a device name to identify the data source and the required global sample rate.

The KEYNES CONTROLS NP4000 is an ideal product for measuring pressure, voltage, temperature, resistance etc.

The model 4002 NP4000 is the desk top model of the companies data acquisition systems. Simply connect the unit to one of the specified network types and enjoy the flexibility of a truly modern approach to data control operations. Information can be gathered in the laboratory and reviewed at convenience in the office.

Analogue Inputs

The unit features 16 optically isolated differential inputs as standard and can be directly interfaced to most sensors by use of one of the many analogue input boards. Data buffering is to provided to store information within the modules in case of temporary network failure or disconnection.

Due to the high resolution of the data acquisition system a wide range of sensors such as strain gauges, load cells and thermocouples etc. can be interfaced directly to the instrument. The high resolution of the analogue input circuits ensures that conditioning amplifiers and the problems they introduce are not required

All of the analogue inputs contain their own programmable gain sample rate amplifiers and are opto- isolated to 1000V DC. This circuitry ensures that the highest possible protection is maintained for any circuit connected to a Pod. A 1000V CMR operation allows the inputs to work under most industrial applications without any requirement for external circuitry.
