19 Multi-Channel Measurement and I/O System

The e.rack series is designed for industrial and experimental test systems requiring precise high speed measurement of electrical, thermal, and mechanical quantities in engine and component test beds. The e.rack series is a modular rack mount design, and easily connects to the wide variety of field devices used in todayӒs test beds. Sample rates up to 1000 Hz and resolutions up to 19 bit are possible depending on the plug-
in and signal type used. Standardized communication protocols (Profibus-
DP and Modbus-RTU) allow the e.rack family to work with a wide variety of application hardware and software (including e.bloxx). An optional Touch Screen Display, e.gate R, and e.pac R provides the full power and flexibility of the e.series in a rack mounted package. >

Plug-in modules for all common measurement and I/O signals

It is possible to plug 10 modules into the 19 rack or into the desktop version of 3 rack units. A mixture of all modules types is possible, but when a touch screen is built in the ONLY 5 plug-in slots are available. >

Inputs and outputs of the plug-in modules

(The number of available analog and digital Inputs and Outputs are listed - e.g. 2 voltages or 2 current inputs)
