What is Data Acquisition/SCADA?
Do you have a process or plant you want to measure, monitor and control? Does your product need to be tested before it is sold? Are you conducting research that needs analysis? These processes are all part of 'Data Acquisition' or where control is involved ' Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition' (SCADA).
Of course you will be using instruments to take measurements, however they have to be powered, the signals collected and converted into engineering units before you can do something with them. This may be to provide control feedback, or analyse the data via PC or other media. In this way you can improve your process, quantify your research or verify the quality of your product.
Introducing Gantner Data Acquisition Modules
This is the ultimate flexible tool for your testing application. Whether you need to measure a few signals or monitor processes covering a large area.
Flexible
Using these DIN rail mounted modules you can start with a small number of units close to your process; that in time can grow to a plant wide linked network that adapts and moves as your needs change.
Rugged and Accurate
The modules have been designed for demanding applications and locations; they are compact and durable yet offer high levels of sensitivity and accuracy.
Easy to use
Wiring between modules is reduced to a highly efficient serial interface. The modules themselves also support many established communication systems such as ProfiBus and Fieldbus. The software supplied with the modules supports easy set up using your own PC and allows you full control over your instrumentation.
Freedom of choice
Experience shows your applications can be very diverse - consequently the product is available in a variety of different formats with different capabilities. The two main product lines are the e and Q series modules. Click on a product to learn more...
