Data Acquisition and Control Interface (DACI)
From Our Partners at Festo
DESCRIPTION
The DACI performs data acquisition to feed raw signal data to the LVDAC-EMS computer based instruments, and it performs various types of control functions, mainly to control the electronic switches of the IGBT Chopper/Inverter module, Model 8837, or those of the Power Thyristors module, Model 8841.
To activate data acquisition for a specific computer-based instrumentation function, a license for this function must be ordered for each DACI on which the function is to be used. Similarly, to activate a specific control function, a license for this function must be ordered for each DACI on which the function is to be used.
The firmware (program used to run the microcontroller) of the DACI can be upgraded anytime by using the device firmware upgrade (DFU) included with the latest version of LVDAC-EMS available on the Festo Didactic website.
