New IOLITEr-8xLVe voltage amplifier with sensor excitation

Introduction

The IOLITEr-8xLVe is a perfect solution for measurements with various types of industrial sensors. It is a high-channel DAQ device with easy sensor connectivity. IOLITE 8xLVe offers a high-power sensor supply, also feasible for some types of current sensors. Test engineers use it for synchronized high dynamic measurements with a great price-performance ratio. 

IOLITEr-8xLVe-D37 voltage acquisition module with excitation

Supported measurement modes are Voltage, Current, and Potentiometer measurements. IOLITEr-8xLVe has two input ranges: ±100 V and ±5 V. It provides unipolar excitation and has TEDS support that works with different industrial sensors such as pressure sensors, potentiometers, and MEMS accelerometers.

Data is acquired simultaneously from all 8 channels with a sampling rate of up to 20 kS/sec. The module uses a 24-bit sigma-delta ADC with an antialiasing filter.

This module offers our reliable Channel to ground isolation which provides good protection against external spikes. Another feature of this module is high common-mode voltage.

Additionally, the module is available with D-SUB37 and terminal block connector and fits in all IOLITE standard chassis.
