PS2016 Series High Precision Isolated Data Collector PS2016V /PS2016I PS2016V-485 /PS2016I-485 User Manual Rev: D Beijing Smacq technologies Co., Ltd. www.smacq.com www.smacq.cn...
1. Product Overview 1.1. General introduction Smacq PS-2000 Series data collector is a compact, fully isolated multi-channel testing device with up to four and a half readings to ensure the accuracy of test data. It is ideal for design verification, automatic test and data acquisition, aging monitoring and many other test and measurement applications.
1.3. Product specifications The following specification parameters, if not specified otherwise, were tested after running the device for 30 minutes under the temperature of 25 degree Celsius and the relative humidity of 40%. Diagram 1、Product specifications Model PS2016V PS2016V-485 PS2016I PS2016I-485 Parameters Voltage, Temperature...
Channel Channel type 2 line differential input Channel isolation >10GΩ Relay pull time Relay release time Mechanical 100,000,000 cycles;Electrical 500,000 cycles (full load) Relay life expectancy Bundled screw terminals Connection method Control method SCPI instruction Communication RS-485 RS-485 interface PSU(Built-in USB power USB power self-healing fuse)
2.2. Signal connection The screw terminal connector in front of the DAQ device is for connecting the measured signals. On the back of the DAQ device, there are two groups of connectors, one USB interface for connecting with computers directly; the other RS485 interface for connection with computers or embedded processing system like PLC.
3. Installation and Testing 3.1. Driver installation When PS2016 DAQ device is connected to computers running Microsoft Windows for the first time, it will require installing the driver before the computer can recognize PS2016 correctly. Open the folder of "\PS Series DAQ/driver" on the Resources CD, double click the file "SETUP.EXE", then click "Install", and there will be a dialog of success after the driver is installed.
3.2. Software installation Open the folder "\PS Series DAQ\PS2016 - DAQ Lite Setup\Volume" and run the file "setup.exe". Set the installation directory for the software, click "Next" all the way till it's installed. Usually you can keep the default installation directory. Start the software after the installation. Figure 4 shows the software interface.

Figure 7、Voltage test acquisition interface 3.4. Temperature signal test When using PS2016 DAQ device to measure temperature, the thermocouple needs to be connected to the signal as shown in Figure 8 below. When using K type thermocouple, the maximum measuring range is 1100℃. When using other types of thermocouples, the maximum measuring range is the temperature range corresponding to 45.108mV on its indexing table.
