Dewesoft IOLITE LX embedded data acquisition system

Dewesoft’s IOLITE LX embedded data acquisition system is based on a dual-core, 1.5 GHz ARM processor, which runs Dewesoft RT data acquisition software on a Linux OS. This combination gives the system the flexibility to act as a standalone data logger, a real-time control system, or a signal conditioning system with cloud or Industry 4.0 connectivity.

The product is powerful but designed to operate with low power consumption, making it suitable for any measurement application. It offers the same high-end signal conditioning modules as the IOLITE DAQ and control system; amplifiers are available for IEPE, voltage, current, resistance, strain gauge, bridge, digital counters, RTDs and thermocouples. It offers 32 GB of internal storage, expandable with an SD card of up to 1 TB.

Instead of being used internally by Dewesoft RT, the primary EtherCAT bus can be switched to external mode, allowing IOLITE LX to be used like a regular IOLITE system for full-speed buffered data acquisition to a computer running DewesoftX DAQ software. A secondary EtherCAT bus can be used in parallel to serve real-time data to any third-party control system. Standard data interfaces are available to transfer the data to real-time controllers, cloud servers and Industry 4.0 clients, using standard data interfaces such as EtherCAT, OPC UA, XCP and CAN.

The system includes DewesoftX data acquisition software, which is easy to use yet rich in functionality. It is also equipped with a redundant power supply. If the primary power supply fails, the system will be powered by a secondary power supply without any interruption or system shutdown/restart.
