Applications

The BUS System is a multi-channel, universal fi ber optic signal conditioner especially designed for applications that require simultaneous-reading of a large number of measuring points with fast sampling rates. It is designed to offer the speed and versatility required for the most demanding applications.

Designed to work with all of FISOҒs fi ber optic sensors, the BUS System is a gen-eral-purpose instrument ideally suited to perform multi-point temperature, pres-
sure, strain, displacement, refractive index, and force and load measurements in a variety of industrial and R&D applications. The BUS System allows simultaneous multi-channel measurements at sampling rates of up to 1000 Hz. This is the ideal ins trument when multi-channel, simultaneous and fast data recording is required.The BUS conditioner performs accurate multi-channel temperature, pressure, strain, displacement, refractive index, and force and load measurements. Thanks to its unique pa tented technology, the BUS conditioner is capable of measuring the absolute cavity length of FISOs Fabry-Perot fi ber optic sensors with astonishing accuracy, providing highly accurate and reliable measurements.FISOҒs fi ber optic sensors offer complete immunity to RF and microwave radiation with high tempe rature operating capability, and intrinsic safety. The sensors are also designed to withstand harsh and corrosive environments.The BUS System comes in a 19-inch industrial rack chassis that can incorporate from 1 to 8 channels. BUS Systems can be cascaded to obtain a higher number of channels. All optical input channels are easily accessible through the units front panel. The system scans all the channels simultaneously at variable sampling rates that can be set individually to 100, 500 or 1000 Hz. Data is stored in the internal memory buffer for later retrieval. Each channel has its own 10-volt analog output and is independently controlled through the RS-232 communication port.The BUS System conditioner has a non-volatile memory buffer that can store up to 4096 data points per channel. Data logging sequences, duration, and other acquisition and data-management parameters are easily programmable using RS-232 remote control commands or, even more easily, thanks to its accompanying software, FISOCommander BUS/VELOCE Edition.
