Advanced DAQ Series: Control Board
Product Overview:
The Control Board is part of LINK’s Advanced DAQ Series which represents the next evolution of our control and acquisition testing solutions. The Control Board is the heart of the data acquisition I/O system consisting of a high-performance embedded controller and an 8-slot backplane populated with a variety of accessory boards. The Control Board has high reliability, and the modularity of this system permits the mix of accessory boards to be selected to match the application. Available accessory boards include signal conditioning for common transducer types such as strain gages, encoders, thermocouples, LVDT, as well as accessory boards for general purpose analog I/O. A specialized servo controller accessory board is available for applications that require high accuracy PID control. This servo board has a dedicated microcontroller and also communicates with the control computer via Ethernet.
