Use iDAQ distributed modular high-speed acquisition solution for test and measurement applications, like NVH and battery Testing, Factory production lines, Laboratory research or infrastructure applications. The iDAQ series splits traditional functions in PCI/PCIe cards and USB modules into several smaller functional units. Unlike traditional multi-function cards with fixed I/O and functions, each iDAQ module has only one function, such as digital input, or analog input.

4- Slot USB chassis designed for portable sensor measurement systems creation. To build a DAQ system start by choosing from DAQ modules. It allows you to count Digital and Analogue inputs and outputs and related iDAQ Modules.  After defining them check if there would be enough 4 slots to install them in the iDAQ-934 chassis. If you need more, don't worry you can choose iDAQ-938 with 8 slots or extend the system by connecting another iDAQ-934 USB  chassis or if you mount the system to the DIN-rail connect iDAQ-934 to iDAQ-964 + AMAX-5580 Edge Controller with 4 Slot Chassis afterwards. All signals will be synchronized between I/O modules and an external host computer through the USB-3.0 bus. 

iDAQ-934 is connected to the host via USB 3.0 and can be directly connected to the universal USB interface. If the on-site environment is complex and requires stronger stability, you can choose the iDoor dedicated USB expansion module PCM-24U2U3.

Support hot swap

The iDAQ module supports hot swapping and maintenance is very simple. When an iDAQ module is integrated into a machine as a measurement device, it may become damaged due to on-site conditions after a long period of continuous use. Hot-swap replaces damaged modules without interrupting the operation of the module, avoiding the trouble of shutting down and restarting key equipment (such as servers that require continuous operation). In addition, in laboratory scenarios, the measurement signal type can change according to different test procedures according to actual needs, so the hot-swappable function of the DAQ system is very helpful for laboratory technicians to exchange modules according to project needs.

Precise time synchronization and simplified routing

The iDAQ-900 series chassis provides fast bus access through the backplane to realize the connection between iDAQ modules. Among the timing signals are triggers and synchronization clocks, which control when the measurement cycle starts and stops, as well as the acquisition speed. Each DAQ module can be synchronized over the bus using the same clock and trigger events. This makes synchronization with Advantech iDAQ systems easy as they only need to be configured in the software, which also means no complex connections are required.

On top of the backplane bus, programmable function pins (PFPs) in the iDAQ-900 chassis provide a clock control interface. DAQ modules can be configured as input or output signal types, as well as single pulse or clock types. This provides great flexibility for field applications that need to be synchronized with external devices, or simply pulsed by other devices.

Rugged design to withstand harsh environments

Three factors make iDAQ systems rugged: resistance to vibration, resistance to EMC, and wide temperature range operation. The entire assembly is tested under 5Grms random vibration and 30G shock tests, which are designed to withstand the most extreme vibration scenarios. The iDAQ series adopts an aluminium alloy shell and has better EMC performance. Finally, the operating temperature range is -20 - 60°C, which will make it well suited to not only most factories but also many outdoor environments. iDAQ systems are designed to operate 24/7 in most factory and outdoor environments.
