Faulty thousand-dollar data acquisition systems can shut down billion-dollar operations. Dataforth's isoLynx® is a fast, intelligent, fully isolated data acquisition system providing superior reliability, accuracy, and isolation for a wide range of rugged industrial applications. It offers maximum flexibility of analog and digital I/O selection at competitive prices for a broad range of factory automation, process control, test and measurement, machine control, and data acquisition applications.

All I/O is channel-to-channel isolated
The flexible, modular design combines a 12-channel I/O Controller base system and optional 8- or 16-channel expansion backplanes, which can be either panel or DIN rail mounted (see Figure 1.)

One I/O Controller module can operate up to 60 channels of differential analog I/O and 128 channels of digital I/O, using Dataforth's popular SCM5B analog and SCMD digital modules. The Controller contains a powerful high-speed microcontroller, A/D and D/A subsystem, communication interface, and associated memory and status LEDs. The A/D system is built around a 16-bit, successive approximation converter and can convert a maximum 60-channel configuration in 30msec (Modbus protocols in 15msec). The D/A converter is also a 16-bit device and can write a maximum 60-channel configuration in 60msec (Modbus protocols in 30msec).
