DSA5000 Ethernet Pressure Scanner

Intelligent, Versatile 16-Channel Ethernet Pressure Scanner

Overview

The DSA5000 pressure scanner is a versatile, all-in-one data acquisition system. Each DSA5000 uses a pressure sensor per channel architecture. All data acquisition, data conversion, and communications are handled by the integrated process and A/D converters. Unlike any other pressure scanner available, the DSA5000 utilizes an individual A/D converter for each sensor allowing fully synchronous data collection. Together, these features provide easy setup, simple operation, and long term reliability.

The DSA5000 is designed to output an engineering unit data stream over an Ethernet connection. A broad selection of data output formats and options are available including; TCP/IP, UDP and FTP data transfer protocols, ASCII and Binary formats, and iDDS. A Webserver is fully integrated providing an intuitive and easy means for configuration and operation. Scanivalve has also developed and engineered a new and unique form of connectivity called Scanivalve Synchronous Ethernet Protocol, or SSEP. This proprietary feature allows for a single DSA5000 ‘controller’ to be used to control and collect data from a number of other DSA5000 modules connected to an isolated, mini-network. Module identification, configuration, and synchronization happens seamlessly, minimizing setup time and frustration, and all communication for the SSEP network is performed through the single ‘controller’ module.
