Extractions: SIXNET has announced the latest member of its SixTRAK IPm Open Controller family: the SixTRAK IPm Open DCS Controller, a small device used for process control, 'supervisory control and data acquisition' (SCADA), and 'distributed control system' (DCS) applications. The device is said to offer powerful communications and advanced programming capabilities, thanks to its built-in PowerPC processor and embedded Linux operating system. SIXNET describes its IPm products as "modular and scalable Linux-based automation solutions that combine installation-ready industrial hardware with a wealth of software solutions that are ready to use right out of the box." User programs may be created using industry standard ISaGRAF IEC 61131-3 programming tools, or by means of a free Linux compiler. A built-in Linux webserver ("Boa") can run web pages created using any standard HTML development tool.

Extractions: Home Products and Services Manufacturing, Engineering and Test Equipment KineticSystems Since 1970, KineticSystems has designed and manufactured high-performance data acquisition and control hardware, software and systems for a variety of applications worldwide. Popular over the last 30 years for its wide array of standardized high-performance VXI and CAMAC modular products, KineticSystems also offers PXI and PC-based data acquisition products. As a member of the Dynamic Signals growing group of companies (DynamicSignals.com) focused on the Test and Measurement industry, KineticSystems is able to provide solutions for an even wider range of applications across the main platforms of VXI, PXI, PCI, CompactPCI and CAMAC. Increasingly, customers are demanding that the instrumentation they purchase conforms to one or more system-level standards that are supported by a number of suppliers. In fact, they often specify which standards are required. Large companies and the U.S. Government are leading this charge. VMEbus, while developed as a backplane for Motorola processors, can be used for data acquisition, control and other Instrumentation applications. However, because of many limitations in the VME specifications particularly for analogue conversion, the major Instrumentation manufactures developed the specifications for VXIbus (VME extensions for Instrumentation), now IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) Standard 1155.

Extractions: Home Products and Services Electronics, Subsystems and Components KineticSystems KineticSystems designs, manufactures, and services high-performance data acquisition products and systems for the worldwide aerospace, automotive, defense, and scientific laboratory markets. KineticSystems' extensive product line includes: analog-to-digital conversion products, digital data recorders, signal conditioners, a variety of interfaces, fiber-optic serial highways for high-speed data transmission over significant distances, and compact, turnkey PC-based testing systems. PXI (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation) is based upon the CompactPCI bus, with data transfer rates up to 132 MHz, and is optimized for measurement, control, and automation of test systems. PXI is based on a modular architecture and provides integrated timing and synchronization between Instrumentations to maximize system performance and accuracy. PXI adopted the plug and play software standards of VXI, and as a result, PXI systems are interoperable with VXI systems. In response to our customers' evolving needs, KineticSystems has launched a new line of PXI instruments and systems in the past year, built upon proven KineticSystems VXI technology. The P580 is a double-width 3U PXI module that provides 34 differential input channels multiplexed onto two independent analog paths. Up to 4 external instruments can be connected via one of the front panel's four LEMO connectors. The P580 is ideal for data acquisition systems, laboratory automation, voltage monitoring, industrial process control, calibration systems, and ATE systems. The P635, is a single-width 3U PXI module with 8 frequency measurement channels. This counter module can be used to monitor a variety of pulse sources in a frequency range of 0.06Hz to 100kHz. Its unique circuitry allows the monitoring of a wide range of frequencies without changing any module settings.

SCADA RTU And Industrial Automation, Scada And Rtu Equipment Developer and manufacturer of process control, data acquisition and communications equipment primarily serving the water, power, gas, oil, transportation and process control markets. http://www.iclinks.com
Extractions: SCADA and RTU solutions are our specialty. What is SCADA? SCADA is Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. What's an RTU? An RTU is a Remote Telemetry Unit. RTU and SCADA technology is typically used in distributed control and monitoring applications. This includes water and wastewater, oil and gas, factory automation and process control systems. We have been in the industrial automation business for nearly 2 decades. We started as a two-man "garage-shop" operation, doing custom hardware and software industrial automation solutions, and have grown to a multi-million dollar business incorporating both custom and standard product solutions. What makes us so successful? Pure and simple, it is our people. With well over a century of combined experience in industrial automation, our key engineering and management players know the industry. We are not content to rest on our past accomplishments, however. We are constantly striving to put the latest innovations in technology to practical use. One example is our new Scada Bridge wireless RTU

Extractions: LAPD Data Acquisition System The picture above illustrates the LAPD experimental cycle. We start with the detection of a wave, shown is a magnetic pickup loop. The loop is inside the machine and is driven in 3D by computer controlled stepping motors. We then digitize the signal and store the resulting time series on local disk. The probe is them moved to a new location and the process is repeated until a one, two, or three-dimensional dataset is acquired. The data are then moved to workstations which process the raw data and generate anything from line plots to stereo-pair, three-dimensional movies of complicated plasma processes. The LAPD-U uses a very effective data acquisition system which was recently upgraded. It enables users to control the position of the probes throughout the volume of the machine and to digitize signals applied or received by probes. The present system has twelve independent digital-to-analog (D/A) channels, which can operate at up to 5 GHz each. The digitizers reside in a VXI crate and are manufactured by Tektronix. A second set of 32, slower (100 MHz) digitizers reside in the main lab area and are connected to the data acquisition system by a fiber optic link. As need arises, more digitizers will be acquired. The data acquisition system also supports control and data input from GPIB devices. With the use of VXI switches and D/A conversion, control of external devices is also possible. The image below shows the data acquisition and control room:

Extractions: The bolometer data are acquired by a very simple Labview data acquisition program that reads a multiplexed ADC. The SCXI chassis in the DAS rack (obscured by cables at the bottom of the picture) holds 12 multiplexer modules. Each multiplexer module has 32 differential high-impedance inputs. The output side of the multiplexers are connected via a cable to an ADC card inside the DAS computer andante.submm.caltech.edu ). The ADC has 16-bit resolution. The channels are numbered in sequential order. The 32 channels read into the first (leftmost) multiplexer module are channels through 31. The 32 channels in the second multiplexer module are 32 through 63. And so on. The 32 channels in the last (rightmost) module are 320 through 383. The multiplexers map to hextants in the following order, note that each hextant only uses the first 24 channels of each multiplexer bank:
