KRYPTON®
TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL
4.1. Main features
DISTRIBUTED DAQ: KRYPTON DAQ modules were designed for distributed measurements to bring data
acquisition closer to sensors. This introduces many advantages as opposed to traditional DAQ systems.
KRYPTON allows distributing DAQ units down to a single channel.
ETHERCAT DAQ: EtherCAT protocol with 100Mb bus speed is used for data transmission, data
synchronization, and power supply. Kryptons are connected with a single cable for data, power, and
sync.
UP TO 100m BETWEEN UNITS: KRYPTON units can be distributed over the large area with the distances
up to 100 meters between DAQ nodes.
RUGGED IP67: All KRYPTON modules are rugged with the IP67 degree of protection and ready for
testing in extreme weather and harsh environments.
1, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 16 CHANNEL UNITS: KRYPTON DAQ modules are available in various configurations
spanning from tiny single channel units up to bigger 16-channel units. Instruments can be distributed
down to the single channel.
UP TO 40 kHz/CH SAMPLING RATE: Most KRYPTON ONE channel units can achieve in the EtherCAT line
sampling rate up to 40 kS/second. Most KRYPTON MULTICHANNEL units can achieve in the EtherCAT
line sampling rate up to 20 kS/second.
UNIVERSAL ANALOG INPUTS: Universal analog inputs are available that can accept voltage and
full/half/quarter bridge signals natively as well as IEPE, charge, thermocouples, RTD, current, resistance
and LVDT signals with the use of DSI adapters.
SOFTWARE INCLUDED WITH FREE LIFETIME UPGRADES: Easy to use, yet very robust in functionality,
award-winning Dewesoft X3 software is included. The software comes with lifetime free upgrades and
no hidden costs, bringing you intuitive configuration, smart sensors, advanced storage and analysis
capabilities.
4.1.1. EtherCAT Distributed DATA Acquisition
KRYPTON data acquisition systems are using 100 Mbit datalink based on EtherCAT protocol technology.
Fast data bus allows many of the KRYPTON units to be daisy-chained together in the single
measurement chain. At the end of the chain, RJ45 cable is used to plug into the Ethernet port of your PC
computer or special, more rugged 8-pin LEMO connector to connect to our robust, powerful computers
like KRYPTON CPU, SBOX, R2DB, R4 or R8.
EtherCAT brings another big advantage - zero configuration. KRYPTON devices do not require any
complex IP setup. Simply connect them together into PC and Dewesoft X software will recognize and
setup devices automatically.
There is the single cable required for data, power, and synchronization which can run up to 100 meters
(328 feet) from module to module connecting amplifiers together.
