PRODUCT PICTURE FOR DATA SHEET)
In 2003, Goodburn Data took
over the operations of Data measurements Ltd (DML), which was formed in 1982 as a supplier of industrial data
acquisition systems. Since then Goodburn have installed hundreds of systems in
applications as diverse as automotive manufacturing, power generation
equipment, civil engineering structure monitoring and military and defence
systems.
We can supply
or repair IMP data acquisition modules manufactured by Solartron, or we
can update them to work with modern PCs and Laptops.
Alternatively,
we can supply complete new systems using either new IMPs, our own SIGMA
modules or custom designed modules, all of which work seamlessly with our
IDAS PC software.

SOLARTRON
IMPS
SOLARTRON IMP DATA ACQUISITION MODULES
The Isolated Measurement Pod (IMP) is a complete data acquisition
module containing a 16 bit ADC, signal conditioning, communications to host
computer, built in sensor energisation and a detachable connector block all
contained in a NEMA3 /IP55 environmentally protected case.
IMPs can make precise measurements of dc voltage, current, temperature (using
thermocouples or PRTs), resistance, strain, vibration, pressure, frequency,
pulse counts, events and status.
Up to 1000 channels per second over 1.5 Km can be connected to a host computer
using the S-Net high speed communications network.
IMPS have been in use for over 30 years now and many are now being updated
for modern PC systems or replaced altogether. We can still repair most
types of IMP and even supply brand new units. |

3595-4U IMP TO USB INTERFACE
IMP-USB INTERFACE
The 3595-4U interface replaces the 3595-4B and 3595-4C
interface cards that were needed to allow an IMP SNET network to communicate
with a host PC. The 3595-4U communicates via the PC’s USB interface.
This means that, for the first time, IMPs can be interfaced with a laptop
rather than a desktop computer, opening up a wide range of additional
applications.
The 3595-4U will function only with our IDAS software and device drivers.
All communication and power connections are made via standard plugs and
sockets on the front and rear panels of the 3595-4U unit.

SIGMA DATA ACQUISITION MODULES
SIGMA MODULES CONNECTED TO A LAPTOP
The Sigma remote data acquisition system features small,
portable remote measurement units which can be distributed over a wide area and
connected via an RS485 high speed network - reducing
the cost of transducer cabling at the same time as ensuring the integrity of the
measured results. The system consist of a number of different modules suitable for a range of standard
input sensors and a computer interface-network power supply unit. Up to 99 Sigma
units can be connected to a single RS485 network over a combined length of 1Km.
The hub of the system is the 381 interface, which converts the RS485 into either
a RS232
(381A) or a USB (381U) signal for connection to a PC. The 381 interface
also provides DC power for all the Sigma modules on the
network. Only the 312a unit requires local power to supply programmable
transmitters.
Modules are networked over two-pair cable and the network connections are made
using plugs and sockets for ease of installation. Each module has a connection
for a local display to assist in the set up process. |

IDAS SOFTWARE
TYPICAL
IDAS REPLAY SCREEN
By using the appropriate driver, IDAS can be used with both Sigma and IMPS data
acquisition modules to monitor, log and display data from a wide variety of
sensors. IDAS will automatically locate the different modules on a network and
will support the configuration of inputs and outputs within the software.
IDAS software
includes trend displays, alarm processing, a real time calculator, export to
datasheets and a powerful configurable monitor to allow creation of
customised graphic screens .
IDAS is
compatible with Windows 10 and has full OPC (OLE for process control)
connectivity. Internet based versions are also available, allowing users to
monitor systems remotely
