MAQ20 Data Acquisition System Features

The MAQ20 Data Acquisition System encompasses more than 30 years of design excellence in the process control industry. It is a family of high performance, DIN rail mounted, programmable, multi-channel, industrially rugged signal conditioning I/O and communications modules.

Instrument Class Performance

• ±0.035% Accuracy, ±0.01% on some modules
• Industry leading ±0.3°C thermocouple, CJC Accuracy over full operating temperature range
• Ultra low Zero and Span Tempco
• Over-range on one channel does not affect other channels
• 1500Vrms Channel-to-Bus Isolation
• 240Vrms Continuous Field I/O Protection
• ANSI/IEEE C37.90.1 Transient Protection
• Ventilated Communications and I/O Modules
• Industrial Operating Temperature of -40°C to +85°C
• Wide Range 7-34VDC Power
• CE Compliant

Industry Leading Functionality

• The system is a Modbus Server and can be operated remotely with no local PC
• Up to 4GB of logged data can be transferred via FTP during real-time acquisition
• Up to 24 I/O modules, or 384 channels, per system, per 19” rack width
• Per-channel configurable for range, alarms, and other functions
• Backbone mounts within DIN rail and distributes power and communications
• System firmware automatically registers the installation and removal of I/O modules
• I/O modules can be mounted remotely from the Communications Module
• Equal load sharing power supply modules allow for system expansion
• Hot Swappable I/O modules with Field-side pluggable terminal blocks on most models
• Sophisticated package enables high density mounting in 3U increments
• DIN Rail can be mounted on a continuous flat panel or plate

Distributed Processing Enables Even More Functionality
