Krypton One designed for harsh environments Dewesoft invented multi-channel Krypton data acquisition modules, which offer up to 16 channels each. Designed with IP67 degree of protection these modules are very robust, operate in extreme temperatures anywhere from -40¡C to 85¡C and 100 per cent humidity. Krypton modules communicate with each other using EtherCAT protocol over a single thin cable that provides data, synchronisation and power, which can be daisy-chained and spread out over 100m from node to node. Engineers have quickly adopted the Krypton series, mounting them right up against running car and aircraft engines, or anywhere where extreme temperatures are found. Humidity is obviously no issue for a product that can be completely submerged underwater. Despite the small size of these multi-channel modules, customers have asked for even more modularity, but without compromising the incredible environmental specifications. After development and testing, Dewesoft announced a new series of Krypton modules called the Krypton One with all of the same environmental robustness as the multi-channel series but allows the placement of the conditioner as close to the sensor as possible, even in extremely hostile environments such as an engine compartment. This results in the shortest possible sensor cables, improving the signal quality. These tiny single-channel modules measure just 62mm x 56mm x 29mm and are machined from an aluminium brick. After the industrial-grade electronics are installed, the units are then sealed with thermally conductive and electrically isolating rubber. Units are waterproof, shockproof, and can withstand shocks up to 100G. Krypton modules provide IP67 degree of protection against water,
dust, and other elements are assured. The fast EtherCAT interface runs at 100Mbps full-duplex bus speed, providing for 6MB/s to 10MB/s data throughput per chain. Modules intended for dynamic measurements can sample up to 40 kS/s. All modules on the chain, which can be spread out as far as 100m (328 ft) between nodes, are precisely synchronised. With the use of EtherCAT to interconnect and control the Krypton series, the entire Krypton product line can be used with any third-party EtherCAT master for real-time applications.
