IbaDAQ-C independent data acquisition device

IbaDAQ-C independent data acquisition device: a compact solution designed for industrial sites

Introduction

With the advancement of Industry 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing, real-time collection and processing of on-site data have become key to optimizing production processes, achieving predictive maintenance, and improving equipment efficiency. However, industrial sites such as control cabinets, test benches, and cranes have extremely limited space, and traditional data acquisition systems are difficult to meet deployment requirements. IbaDAQ-C is a solution designed to address this challenge. It integrates the complete ibaPDA data acquisition system into an extremely compact and robust hardware platform, equipped with high-performance processors, large capacity solid-state drives, and rich communication interfaces, capable of independent operation in the most demanding industrial environments, achieving high-quality data acquisition and recording.

Target readers and safety precautions

This technical document is mainly aimed at qualified professionals with expertise in electrical, electronic modules, communication, and measurement technology. Operators should be able to assess safety risks and take corresponding measures based on their professional training, knowledge, and experience.

Important safety tips

Power requirements: A stable power supply of 24 V DC ± 10% must be strictly used for power supply. Voltage beyond this range may damage the equipment.

Equipment operation: It is strictly prohibited to open the device casing without authorization, otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.

System shutdown: It is necessary to shut down the device through normal means (such as pressing the power switch) to avoid data loss. Abnormal power outages (such as directly disconnecting the power supply) may result in data corruption.

Ventilation and heat dissipation: Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation space around the device's heat dissipation fins (with at least a 2cm gap reserved at the top and bottom of the device) to ensure effective heat dissipation.

Electromagnetic compatibility: This device is a Class A device and may cause radio interference when used in residential areas. Users need to take corresponding measures.

Product Overview and Technical Positioning

IbaDAQ-C is an independent data acquisition unit designed specifically for mobile measurement, on-site debugging, troubleshooting, test bench applications, and process parameter calculations. It integrates high-performance computing, data acquisition, network communication, and storage functions into a compact housing mounted on a DIN rail.

Core design concept:

Integrated: Built in with a complete ibaPDA system, it can run independently without the need for an external computer.

Compact and sturdy: With an ultra-thin design (width only 34 mm), it is suitable for small spaces such as control cabinets and test benches.

Flexible connection: supports direct operation through local display, mouse, keyboard, and can also be remotely configured and managed through the network.

High performance processing: using Intel Atom quad core processor, providing powerful data processing capabilities.
