About the PSC8 | PSC16 | PSC24 Multichannel Pressure Scanner
The PSC pressure scanners are capable of measuring multiple pressure signals simultaneously. Temperature-compensated transducers feature high accuracy and minimal offset drift. In all devices each pressure channel range can be customized individually according to customer specifications.
The PSC24 has 24 pressure channels. Reference pressure lines of all sensors are connected to a single pressure port in standard configuration. A special differential version with reference ports for each line is also available.
The data is transmitted as ASCII text in the unit Pascal [Pa]. The transmission rate can be set in the range between 1 and 50 Hz.
A tare function can be triggered either by pressing the TARE button or by a software command.
Power for PSC devices equipped with USB or CAN interface is supplied via USB or respectively via CANport. For the version with built-in magnetic valves and LAN interface an external power supply (9-24 V, 1 A) has to be connected with the device.
All PSC versions are equipped with an USB interface, allowing easy configuratio. When connected via USB the pressure scanner identifies itself to the host PC as virtual COM port. Thus, any software supporting serial protocols can be used for communication. The LAN-version sends the data using the TCP-IP protocol. A direct connection can be set up via Telnet (Port 10001).
A recording software and an example program in LabVIEW (source code) are shipped with the device. For devices with CAN bus interface a DBC-file is included in the shipment.
On request there are different customization options:
- selection of different sensor pressure ranges
- parallel connection of sensors with different ranges for application where high accuracy is required
