SCADAS ES is the next generation of Simcenter data acquisition hardware for mechanical testing and validation. The platform is based on the SCADAS architecture and enhances it with further improvements in signal quality, on-board software, and a fully modular design.
The system measures vibrations, forces, stresses, pressures, temperatures, and other physical quantities with high accuracy in the laboratory, on test benches, and in mobile applications. Typical applications include durability testing, NVH, structural and modal testing, as well as functional and system testing across various industries.
Modules
Available Unit Types in SCADAS ES
An SCADAS ES system consists of a Power Network Interface and a combination of conditioning units and an optional processing unit. The following examples provide an overview of typical conditioning units. The available range of modules is being expanded gradually. You can find a current and complete overview in the Novicos Shop.
Power Network Interface (PNI / PNU)
The Power Network Interface supplies power to the connected SCADAS ES units and establishes the system connection. It is available as a PNI for laboratory and test bench applications, and as a PNU for field use with an integrated rechargeable battery.
Multiple units can be combined into a stack and arranged in any order. The position of the Power Network Interface within the stack is flexible and not fixed.
Voltage Units
Acquisition of voltage and differential signals (single-ended, semi-differential, differential) with various numbers of channels and connectors. Suitable for general sensor signals and electrical measured quantities.
Bridge Units
Inputs for full-bridge, half-bridge, and quarter-bridge configurations with integrated sensor power supply. Designed for strain gage, force, pressure, and displacement transducers.
Batch Units
Inputs for charge sensors, such as piezoelectric accelerometers or pressure transducers. For applications involving high frequencies and dynamic loads.
PDAC Units
Combination of pulse and tachometer inputs and analog outputs (DAC) on the same connectors, switchable via software. Suitable for speed and pulse signals as well as for excitation or reference signals.
Digital Input Units
Digital inputs for CAN and CAN-FD, as well as interfaces such as SPDIF and binaural headphone outputs. Used to connect vehicle buses, control units, and audio/acoustic signals.
Processing Unit (REC)
Optional module with recording functionality, pulse, DAC, and CAN interfaces. It enables local recording and processing when the system is not operated exclusively as a front end for Testlab.
