DataLab-IO - Expandable USB DAQ


Description

 

DataLab IO/USB is a new line of industrial I/O units with USB interface. Modular design of DataLab IO/USB enables combination of I/O modules according to application needs — 1 slot or 4 slot USB enclosures for modules providing analogue and digital inputs or outputs.

 

Product

 

 

DL-CPU - 4-Slot Enclosure

DL-CPUM- 1-Slot Enclosure

 

DataLab IO is a new generation of USB Based industrial input/output devices with a innovative modular construction. You start with either a 1 slot or 4 slot USB case into which can be fitted various I/O modules. Available modules include 8 analogue inputs with 16-bit resolution, analogue output with 12-bit digitization and the set of digital I/O modules.

It is also possible to use less than 4 slots in the device, if the application requires less I/O points than one unit provides. It is of course possible to attach multiple I/O devices to one computer when more than 32 I/O points are necessary. If the number of free USB ports of the particular PC is less than required, it is possible to expand the number of ports with USB hubs.

  • 1 slot or 4 slot housings

  • USB interface - no external PSU needed
  • user plug-in I/O modules - only those I/O needed for the job;
    • 8-channel isolated 16-bit analogue input
    • 8-channel isolated 12-bit analogue output - 4 channels can be 0-20mA
    • 8-Channel 3A mains relay
    • 8-channel darlington transistor output
    • 8-channel opto-isolated digital input
    • counter inputs
  • all I/O via screw terminals
  • LED indication of I/O status
  • Free standing or DIN Rail mount

DataLab IO/USB units communicate with the host PC through the fast Universal Serial Bus (USB). Supplied with an ActiveX and software examples

An OPC server is now available to allow DatalabIO to be used with your favorite SCADA Package.

OPC Server

 

OPC (OLE for Process Control) is a communication standard based on OLE/COM technology which forms a means of exchanging information between MS Windows applications.

It offers greater interoperability between the control / command / supervision applications, the industrial equipment (PLCs, sensors, actuators) and the office management applications. OPC defines standard objects, methods and properties built on the COM (Component Object Model) concept to allow real time data servers like DCS, PLCs and field equipment to communicate their data to OPC clients.

Nearly all Common SCADA software packages including our DAQFactory application support OPC, and with the DatalabIO OPC server, you will be able to communicate with the DatalabIO range.
