8-channel Amplifier Measurement System for 5B modules (LAN) - 1

AMS42-LAN16f 5B amplifier measurement system (LAN) All-In-One Measurement System. Compact. DAQ via LAN. The AMS42-LAN16f, a complete solution: amplifier technology and data acquisition. A highquality network data acquisition system is already integrated. Available in a robust aluminum housing as a mobile tabletop unit with skid-proof, tipup feet. Clearly safe. Modular concept. Equip individually. Be flexible. Analog. 16 inputs. 2 outputs. The AMS device is equipped with cassettes, on which the required 5B measuring amplifiers are mounted. The variety of available 5B modules allows for the optimum adaptation of the AMS42-LAN16f to any special measuring task. Choose connector. Mount 5B amplifier. Done. The available plug-in cassettes have different connectors at the front panel. The suitable cassette can be chosen depending on the sensor or signal to be connected. Now the 5B module only has to be fixed on the cassette and be integrated in the AMS system. The galvanic isolation provided by the 5B modules allows interference-free operation and protects DAQ system and PC against high potentials. Signals are connected at 8 amplifier inputs with 16 bit resolution and 250kHz total sampling rate. Additional 8 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs are available directly and without amplification at a D-Sub 37 female. Digital. 16 inputs. 16 outputs. Digital states are recorded or set at 16 digital inputs and outputs each. The integrated 19-bit counter allows the acquisition of counting pulses or the connection of an incremental encoder. Networked. Distributed. Remote. Synchronized, if you like. The LAN technology of the AMS42-LAN16f allows for measurement applications across great distances. The recorded data are transmitted via network from arbitrarily many measuring points to a server PC. Signals of several devices can be synchronized with each other. The TCP/IP protocol stands for reliable data transmission - even via the internet. Open for everyone. The amplifier measurement system is supported by Windows® 7/XP as well as Mac OS X, Free BSD and Linux. The complete software for installation and programming of the AMS42LAN16f is included. The device is supported by the DAQ and analysis software NextView®4. Functional diagram

Assembly a) Equip the AMS42-LAN16f with the plug-in cassettes (see chapter 7.2) carrying the required 5B modules. b) Carefully push the cassette along the guide bars of the relevant slot until the 7-way pin connector of the cassette and the pins of the 5B module are plugged into the corresponding connectors on the AMS backplane. c) If using the option AMS-EXT8 for the AMS42-LAN16f (see chapter 7.4), the additional cassettes 9..16 are mounted at the back of the device. d) For a tight installation, fix the front panel at both ends with screws to the housing. Bridge unneeded slots by a blank...

2 Connections and assignments All available connectors and operating elements of the AMS42-LAN16f are accessible on the right-hand side of the device front and back. The 15-pin D-Sub female connector "Ext." is a service interface. As it is only for internal use, make sure there is nothing connected. The AMS42-LAN16f is turned on (press "1") and off (press "0") with the switch at the front side. 2.2 LEDs The "ON" LED indicates the operation of the device, the "State"-LED is turned on for a short time during boot-up. Afterwards the device is ready for use. 2.3 Power supply The AMS device is...

2.5 Digital channels The AMS42-LAN16f features 16 digital inputs and outputs each (low: 0V..0.7V; high: 3.0V..5V). The digital lines are hard-wired. All lines are led out via the 37-pin D-Sub female connector at the device front. The following table and figure show the pin assignment. With the option AMS-DIG8 (see chapter 7.4), 8 inputs and outputs each can be used as galvanically isolated optocoupler inputs and relay outputs available at the back of the device. Pin The digital inputs and outputs are protected by serial resistors. Input voltages beyond the permitted voltage range of 0..5V...

3 Interfacing examples for digital channels The following basic connection examples demonstrate the use of the digital inputs and outputs and the connection of a counter to the AMS42-LAN16f. The pin assignment of the 37-pin D-Sub female connector is described in chapter 2.5 and 2.6. Optocouplers provide optimum protection at each input line. With them, it is possible to connect higher voltages and to protect the hardware from being destroyed. The 3.9kΩ pull-down resistor sets the input to low if no voltage is applied there. In this regard, please also see application examples of the...

4 AMS backplane The AMS -backplane provides 8 slots for 5B modules and the AMS-K plug-in cassettes (see chapter 7.2) carrying the 5B modules. If the AMS42-LAN16f is used with the optional add-on AMS-EXT8 (see chapter 7.4), eight slots each are available at the front and at the back of the device. Ground-to-ground resistance The ground-to-ground resistance is required when the output ground is not electrically connected with the power supply ground. If the jumper (see fig. above) on the analog backplane is closed, the output switches of the modules are switched through. In the case of...
