TraNET EPC

Product catalog summary
Overview
The TraNET® EPC is a high-precision data acquisition instrument designed for industrial environments, supporting up to 64 single-ended channels. It can synchronize with multiple devices using the Elsys SyncLink box, making it suitable for applications in train systems, power conversion, automotive, and power plant maintenance.
General Specifications
The system requires an Intel i5-8400 CPU or newer, 16 GB RAM, and Windows 11 64 Bit. It operates between 0 to 45°C with a relative humidity of up to 80% at 31°C, decreasing to 50% at 45°C, and a maximum operating elevation of 2,000 meters.
Data Acquisition Modules
The TraNET® EPC uses TPCE or TPCE-LE measuring cards, supporting sampling rates from 2 to 240 MS/s per channel. It can expand to 64 single-ended or 32 differential channels, with streaming speed limited by the PCIe interface and hard disk throughput.
Recording Modes
Supports various modes including Scope, Multi Block, Continuous, and Event Controlled Recording (ECR), which allows capturing thousands of data blocks without loss.
Software
The TranAX® software facilitates quick configuration of acquisition channels and provides tools for waveform analysis, supporting LabVIEW, C++, C#, and Python APIs.
Mechanical Specifications
The device is housed in a 19-inch industrial rack, with BNC connectors available on the rear or front side.
TPCE vs TPCE-LE
The TPCE-LE version has a reduced input range and lower data throughput due to its PCIe x1 interface compared to the x4 interface of the TPCE. The TPCE offers higher common mode rejection and is better suited for differential measurements.
Channel Configurations
Single-ended cards have one BNC connector per channel, while differential cards have two. Channels can be configured as differential input stages via software.
Specifications
Modules are available in various configurations with different maximum sample rates and amplitude resolutions. The input amplifier supports measurement ranges from ±50 mV to ±50 V, with offset adjustments and input impedance options.
Trigger and Control
The system includes multiple trigger channels with advanced options and external control inputs for triggering and sampling. It also supports digital inputs and status outputs.
Additional Features
Optional accessories include an internal GPS receiver and ICP® sensor supply for piezo sensors.
Specifications
  • Data Acquisition Modules: Available in various configurations with sample rates ranging from 2 MHz to 80 MHz. Amplitude resolution is 14-bit, with an optional 16-bit resolution at lower sample rates.
  • Memory: 4-channel modules offer standard 256 MB, expandable to 1 GB. 8-channel modules provide similar memory configurations.
  • Input Amplifier: Measurement ranges from ±100 mV to ±25 V, with offset adjustments and input impedance options of 1 MΩ or 50 Ω.
  • Bandwidth and Slew Rate: Varies with input range, with bandwidths up to 120 MHz and slew rates as fast as 4 ns.
  • Filters: Includes low pass and optional antialiasing filters, with software switchable settings.
  • Common Mode Rejection: Greater than 60 dB for DC to 1 kHz, decreasing at higher frequencies.
  • Errors and Drift: Range and offset errors are minimal, with autocalibration compensating for drift.
  • Noise and SNR: Input noise levels decrease with lower sample rates, and SNR improves with lower frequencies.
  • Channel Isolation: Crosstalk is minimized, especially at lower voltage ranges.
Trigger and Control
  • Trigger Channels: 4 or 8 channels with advanced options for edge, window, and state triggers.
  • External Control: Includes digital inputs, optocoupler connections, and status outputs for comprehensive control.
Software and Tools
  • TranAX® Software: Provides easy configuration, data visualization, FFT analysis, and integration with Python and other APIs.
  • Additional Tools: Includes waveform viewer, Excel importer, and various APIs for remote control and data manipulation.
Accessories
  • High-Voltage Attenuators: Precision attenuators for measurements up to 1000 V.
  • Digital I/O BNC Box: Simplifies access to digital control signals.
  • SyncLink Box: Synchronizes multiple TraNET® devices for large measurement systems.

TraNET EPC-1

TraNET ® EPC Data Acquisition Instrument The Elsys Data Acquisition Instrument TraNET® EPC with its high channel density and robust housing is designed for high precision measurements in industrial environments. It is a scalable system that may grow to a total number of 64 SE channels in one device. Several devices can be synchronized with the Elsys SyncLink box. TraNET EPC is used to acquire simultaneously many traces to address various measurement tasks in applications such as test and verification of train systems, power conversion systems, automotive and power plant maintenance. Elsys AG Mellingerstrasse 12 CH-5443 Niederrohrdorf Switzerland Phone: +41 56 496 01 55 Email: [email protected] www.elsys-instruments.com In the Continuous Data Recorder mode, a continuous data stream can be captured and stored to disk over a long time. Even in burst mode applications TraNET® EPC is capable to capture thousands of blocks of data without any loss thanks to the unique Event Controlled Recording (ECR) mode. The powerful application software TranAX® not only helps to quickly configure many acquisition channels, but also provides the right post-processing tools to analyse complex waveforms.

TraNET EPC-3

All TPCE/TPCE-LE cards are available as single-ended (SE) or differential (DIFF) versions. Depending on how many inputs are measured differentially, an SE or DIFF card is worthwhile. Single-ended cards have one BNC connector per channel where the outside shielding is connected to chassis/protective ground. Two neighboring channel can be configured per software as differential input stage. In this case the signal must be connected as shown aside. Differential cards have two BNC connector per channel where the outside shielding is connected to chassis/protective ground. Single ended measurement...
