Data Acquisition & Control Hardware
Data acquisition and control hardware generally performs one or more of the following
functions: analog input, analog output, digital input, digital output and counter/timer
functions. This section will discuss each function and list some considerations that are
important when you select a data acquisition and control system.
Analog Inputs (A/D)
Analog to digital (A/D) conversion changes analog voltage or current levels into digital
information. The conversion is necessary to enable a computer to process or store the
signals.
DAQ Tutorial & Software
The most significant criteria when selecting A/D hardware are:
1. Number of input channels
2. Single-ended or differential input signals
3. Sampling rate (in samples per second)
4. Resolution (usually measured in bits of resolution)
5. Input range (specified in full-scale volts)
6. Noise and nonlinearity
Analog Outputs (D/A)
The opposite of analog to digital conversion is digital to analog (D/A) conversion. This
operation converts digital information into analog voltage or current. D/A devices allow
a computer to control real-world events.
Getting Started
Advantech: The Source For What You Need
Advantech manufactures data acquisition hardware and software for measurement,
monitoring and applications control. The following guide is provided to help you choose
components for your data acquisition system.
Step 1: Know Your Fundamental Goal
Decide whether your DAQ system will be used primarily for measurement, monitoring,
control, or analysis. Know the data requirements of your process, and know the number
of data collection points in your system. Know the required data collection speed, the
sampling rate, the type of measurement, the voltage or current being produced, the desired
accuracy and the output resolution at each data collection point. Finally, know the timing
of events in your system, and any special environmental conditions that exist.
Step 2: Hardware Selection
Select the hardware required to achieve your fundamental goal. Advantech provides plug-in
boards for Analog-to-Digital, Digital-to-Analog, Digital I/O needs. Both ISA and PCI bus
products are available. Your hardware selection should be based on five major criteria:
1. Number and types of channels
2. Differential or single-ended inputs
3. Resolution
4. Speed
5. Software compatibility with hardware
Step 3: Accessory Selection
Most applications require additional accessories which are available as separate items.
These include:
1. Expansion peripherals to add channels to your system
2. Cables, signal conditioners and external boxes such as screw terminals or BNC
accessories
Step 4: Software Selection
More than any other single factor, software will determine your system start-up time, as
well as its effectiveness, suitability for your application, and ease of modification.
Three major criteria should determine the choice of software:
1. Operating system used
2. User programming expertise
3. Software compatibility with hardware
Analog output signals may directly control process equipment. The process can give
feedback in the form of analog input signals. This is referred to as a closed loop control
system with PID control. Analog outputs can also be used to generate waveforms. In this
case, the device behaves as a function generator.
Digital Inputs and Outputs
Digital input/output functions are useful in applications such as contact closure and switch
status monitoring, industrial On/Off control and digital communications.
Counter/Timer
A counter/timer can be used for event counting, flowmeter monitoring, frequency counting,
pulse width measurement, time period measurement, and so on.
