Main Features

EXTEND ANALOG INPUTS: DSI adapters are compatible with any Dewesoft amplifier with a DSUB9 analog input, independent of the product family. They will fit SIRIUS DAQ system, KRYPTON DAQ modules, MINITAURs or DEWE-43 DAQ instrument.
PLUG-AND-PLAY WITH TEDS: All DSI adapters have TEDS chip built-in for automatic sensor detection and plug-and-play setup. Just connect the sensor to DSI adapter and DSI adapter to one of our DSUB-9 analog input and everything from scaling, units, calibration data, etc. will be configured automatically.
COMPACT AND RUGGED: All electronics are built into small and rugged DSUB-9 aluminum housing with screw connectors to firmly screw adapters to the analog input channel.

Dewesoft Smart Interfaces

The versatile DSI^® adapters convert any Dewesoft's DAQ system analog input with DSUB9 connector into a universal analog input that can accept everything from strain gage, IEPE/ICP, thermocouple, LVDT, RTD, current to voltage signals with up to ±200V.

DSI adapters are automatically recognized by TEDS and all settings are configured automatically inside Dewesoft X DAQ software.

IEPE adapter

DSI adapter for IEPE (Integrated Electronics Piezo Electric) sensors like accelerometers and microphones. A sensor connected to the adapter will be automatically recognized using TEDS technology. Thee versions of DSI-ACC adapter are available:

DSI-ACC - excitation current 4 mA, 21 V and high pass filter 0.8 Hz
DSI-ACC-0.16Hz - excitation current 4 mA, 21 V and high pass filter 0,16 Hz
DSI-ACC-20mA - excitation current 20 mA, 21 V and high pass filter 0.8 Hz

Charge adapter

DSI-CHG adapter is intended for charge accelerometer or microphone sensors with BNC connector. The range is up to 50000 pC. AC coupled with 0.07 Hz. Max. 100 kHz bandwidth.

RTD adapter

DSI-RTD is a universal adapter for RTD sensors. Two, three and four wire connection methods are supported. 5-pin Binder 710 series connector with included Binder cable connector. Supported RTD types:

Pt100,
Pt200,
Pt500,
Pt1000 and
Pt2000.

Voltage adapter

DSI-V-200 adapter will enable any DSUB9 analog input to accept ±200V voltage range, differential input via BNC connector. Bandwidth and ranges are defined by the connected amplifier.

Thermocouple adapter

DSI-TH-x adapters are used for thermocouple sensor connection. Adapter features high accuracy cold junction reference measurement. 1 m thermocouple cable is included with mini TC connector. Supported thermocouple types:

DSI-TH-C - thermocouple type C,
DSI-TH-J - thermocouple type J,
DSI-TH-K - thermocouple type K and
DSI-TH-T - thermocouple type T.

Shunt/current adapter

DSI adapters for direct current measurement. We offer two versions of DSI current adapter:

DSI-20mA - 20mA current input adapter with internal shunt 50 Ohm, 0.05% accuracy for sensors with 4 to 20 mA output.
DSI-5A - 5A current input adapter with internal shunt 0.1 Ohm, 0.05 accuracy.
DSIi-10A - isolated “shunt” with 10 A FS and accuracy < 0.5% FS and bananna connector.
DSIi-20A - isolated “shunt” with 20 A FS and accuracy < 0.5% FS and bananna connector.

LVDT

DSI-LVDT is an adapter for connecting LVDT sensors. Generates 4 to 10 kHz excitation for LVDT sensors and includes phase adjustment with a potentiometer. Output 1 V = 1000 mV / V.
