| What
Is System 10? [Back

An
advanced high-speed DATA ACQUISITION AND
CONTROL SYSTEM that can stand alone . . .
|
|
. . . but doesn't have to!

Most
of all, System 10 is a dependable,
HIGH-PERFORMANCE SOLUTION for real-time
measurement and control
By combining an extensive custom hardware platform with sophisticated software tools, System 10 lets you build a data acquisition system tailored to your specific application requirements, a system that is both economical and eminently field-proven.
PC-based data acquisition systems are adequate for some situations, but in the most demanding applications—requiring the fastest, most accurate acquisition and processing of mixed real-world data signals—System 10 is the high-performance solution of choice. See the block diagram below that compares a typical "front-end" System 10 to a typical PC-based system.
The versatile System 10 platform accommodates a wide range of configurations, from small benchtop dataloggers to factory-wide local area networks that can handle thousands of data points, while monitoring and controlling multiple complex tests or processes simultaneously. Integrating in a single system all aspects of data collection, display, archiving, communications, and processing, System 10 can operate independently or under the supervision of a host computer or PLC.
As an intelligent stand-alone front end, System 10 supplies the host device with finished engineering-unit answers—not just "raw" samples—either automatically or on request. Its dynamic database unburdens the PC of all routine data acquisition tasks, while making 100% of acquired data available on a truly real-time basis. For systems with over 50 measurement inputs or with complex internal calculations, thruput of finished-answer data is typically faster than the comparable PC-based system—and this includes continuous per-channel limit monitoring—with no display update delay.
System 10 provides multichannel data displays on multiple, individually selectable small- or large-scale "pages" that are instantly formattable by the operator in the field, even while the measured test or process is running. Video options include high-speed bargraphing.
The system is ideal for use as a distributed tasking network. Remote stand-alone units for local data collection, display, processing, and control can be placed close to process sensors, thereby greatly reducing costly and troublesome cable connections.

| Designing
a Daytronic System 10 [Back

The Daytronic System 10 is just that—a system. Regardless of its size and complexity, each configuration is unique, because it's designed to solve a unique "real-world" measurement and control problem. Each system is totally modular, consisting of standard off-the-shelf components with fixed operating firmware that provides all standard system functions. No "programming" as such is necessary for the data acquisition system to perform its assigned functions. However, the user still faces an initial "customizing" task—the task of selecting the mainframe(s), plug-in cards, and other elements that—as a complete and integrated system—best satisfy his or her specific measurement and control requirements.
A number of important questions must first be answered. How many and what type of I/O points are required? What kind of calibration is desired for analog inputs? Are special linearization techniques required? Is local or remote data display needed, and if so, what kind? Are limit alarm actions required? Cross-channel calculations? Internal counter/timer or SPC functions? Analog outputs for loop control feedback? Logging, archiving, or reporting of data? What are the data communications requirements, if any? Are there specific software packages with which you want the data acquisition hardware to interface? The Daytronic sales staff will provide all the assistance you might need to answer these and other application-related questions, free of charge. We can also furnish application-specific programming, software interfacing, system housing and testing, and much more.
A given system can have any of a large number of different elements, each performing its own specific function within the total application solution. A complete overview of basic system functions is provided on this web site (for further details, you may consult the System 10 User's Guidebook, available in PDF from this site). Only with an understanding of component functions and their interactions can an intelligent selection of system components take place. Again, our factory sales staff and sales representative offices are on hand to give you any and all assistance you might need.
