Application Notes

Monitoring 110 V DC digital inputs is essential in railways and other critical systems where these lines deliver both power and status signals. Engineers must safely adapt high-voltage signals for DAQ systems without disturbing operations. Dewesoft supports two methods: a simple voltage divider for cost-efficient setups and a dry-contact relay interface that provides full isolation and higher reliability for demanding field use.
