Data acquisition/control. (Hardware/Software).

The DAQStation CX is a data acquisition control station featuring an out-of-the-box, ready-to-go design with embedded PID controls, a standard Ethernet interface supporting TCP/IP and FTP protocols, plus built-in web server and email messaging functions. The DAQStation CX features include a variety of screens, such as faceplates and tuning screens, for system operation and monitoring. The trending and recording functions are said to make it simple to log data for management purposes such as quality control. The pre-built screen combined with the built-in serial interface to external controllers is said to make it easy for the operator to monitor and vary parameters such as set points, output modes, alarm points and tuning parameters. The embedded control loops in the CX enable the user to perform a variety of algorithms such as single, cascaded and PV switching with program profile. The CX1000 features a high resolution, 5.5" color TFT display, with up to six universal inputs, two embedded control loops and built-in serial interface to four external controllers.
