Description
The Candaq5 is a further development of the well established Chell MicroDaq system. The Candaq5 provides an ultra-miniature complete pressure scanning unit that outputs engineering unit data over Ethernet and CAN.
The CANdaq5 will convert an analogue ESP/HD scanner into a PTP enabled, Ethernet and CAN digital scanning solution. It shares a protocol with the Chell microDAQ3 and nanoDAQ products and can be combined with them to form a complete system.
The CANdaq5 interfaces with a TE ESP™ pressure scanner (both HD scanners and MicroScanners) and provides the user with a straight-forward digital interface. Where available, the MicroDaq takes full advantage of the DTC technology within the scanners.
The DTC scanners contain all their coefficients in an EEPROM and the temperature of every transducer is measured to calculate the compensation. The DTC scanners also contain a 3X deranging option and shuttle valve position sense and all these functions can be accessed by the supplied software or embedded web server.
The CANdaq5 may also be used with conventional scanners and provides the user with a scanner temperature measurement so that thermal mapping of the scanner can be carried out using the supplied software.
The CANdaq5 can scan at 50kHz enabling it to produce data at more than 2KHz per channel when scanning only the first 16 channels. The data is available over Ethernet which is auto-negotiating 10 / 100Mbit. The Ethernet can be configured as TCP or UDP with IENA as a UDP option.
On-line-Calibration
The CANaq5 can now be used to create a full on-line calibration system when combined with the microDAQ-PCU and a Druck PACE™ pressure controller. Now a system using legacy ESP scanners can be put together that, with the on-line calibration provided by the PACE™, will produce data close in quality to the newer microDAQ3 scanners.
