New Mechanically Stronger R8 Data Acquisition System

The R8 instruments are typically used in high channel count applications, offering a compact solution for combining up to 64 SIRIUS Dual Core channels (or 128 HD channels) and the SBOX in a single chassis. Individual SIRIUS slices are removable and offer configuration freedom for future projects.

The R8 product line was recently upgraded with the following notable features:

• Flexible SIRIUS amplifiers, interfacing to virtually any kind of signal (quarter, half or full bridge strain gauges, accelerometers, pressure sensors, potentiometers, high voltage sources etc.).
• 
  
• Low input-to-EtherCAT bus delay (< 100 us) when accessed by a third party EtherCAT master through the back panel EtherCAT port, with the minimum cycle time of 200 us. Even lower delay and cycle times are possible – please contact DEWESoft® support when this is required.
• 
  
• A possibility of running the SIRIUSre slices in dual mode: full data rate over USB to Dewesoft® (not real-time, for analysis purposes) – and real-time data (for control purposes) to third party master through the backside EtherCAT port in parallel at the same time.

• Standalone mounting (more for just SIRIUS Slices)	Accel	Vel in/s pk	Disp in pp (ref)	Disp in pp (est)
