SMT10D11S – WiFi-enabled Acquisition and Control Module

Description

A module intended both for teaching scientific and technological subjects and for integration into test equipment.

It is a 6-sensor data logger and an integrated controller with two controllable power outputs. It is able to simultaneously collect and process data from 6 different sensors via as many SPI interfaces or analog channels and control two power outputs, up to 20V, 150W (total). It is compatible with all SpaceMotionery sensors and actuators. The user can monitor data and control outputs using a simple smartphone, tablet, PC or via the Internet, via web-based Android or IOS WiFi connectivity,

Possible applications are many. A few examples:
•   data acqusition from temperature, vibration, voltage sensors, etc.
•   temperature control of heaters or coolers
•   stabilization of DC magnetic fields in clean rooms
•   motor control

The module contains three sections:

•   the power section operates from 10V to 30V to drive up to two power outputs that can independently generate either a programmable voltage from 0V to 30V or a programmable current up to 4A or a programmable power up to 100W per channel;
•   the acquisition section can acquire data from 6 SPI digital sensors or from as many analogue inputs, with a maximum sampling frequency of 1 ksample/s;
•   the communication section can communicate with both a PC and a smartphone via WiFi channel, both in a point-to-point connection and in a private network using an external router.

The power section operates from an up to 30V DC power supply, while the acquisition and communication sections can either operate from the same power supply or from any USB power bank, when no power output is required.

The Module can be integrated with most SpaceMotionery’s equipment and sensors.
