KRYPTON® highlights

Distributed DAQ

KRYPTON DAQ modules were designed for distributed measurements to bring data acquisition closer to sensors. This introduces many advantages as opposed to traditional DAQ systems. KRYPTON allows distributing DAQ modules down to a single input channel.

EtherCAT DAQ

EtherCAT protocol with 100Mb bus speed is used for data transmission, data synchronization, and power supply. KRYPTON units are connected with a single cable for data, power, and synchronization.

IP67 Protection

All KRYPTON modules are rugged with the IP67 degree of protection and ready for testing in extreme weather and harsh environments.

-40°C to +85°C

All KRYPTON modules offer a very wide temperature range. This is ideal for winter (-40°C) or summer climate testing (+85°C).

Shock Protection

KRYPTON modules provide high shock protection according to SIST EN 60068-2-27:2009 - 100 g, 6 ms, half-sine, 100x pos./neg in each axis, 600x total.

Up to 100m Between Nodes

KRYPTON units can be distributed over a large area with distances up to 100 meters between DAQ nodes.

Single and Multi-Channel Units

KRYPTON DAQ modules are available in various configurations spanning from tiny single-channel modules up to bigger 3, 4, 6, 8, and 16-channel units. This allows you to distribute devices down to a single channel.

Up to 40 kS/s

Multi-channel KRYPTON data acquisition modules can sample the date up to 20 kS/s and KRYPTON ONE single channel units up to 40 kS/s per channel.

Universal Analog Inputs

Truly universal analog inputs are available that can accept voltage, IEPE, full/half/quarter bridge, RTD, and resistance signals natively. Additional input modes such as charge, thermocouple, RTD, current, and LVDT signals are supported via our DSI adapters.

Software included

Every Dewesoft data acquisition system is bundled with award-winning DewesoftX data acquisition software. The software is easy to use but very rich and deep in functionality. All software updates are free forever with no hidden licensing or yearly maintenance fees.

Dewesoft quality and 7-year warranty

Enjoy our industry-leading 7-year warranty. Our data acquisition systems are made in Europe, utilizing only the highest build quality standards. We offer free and customer-focused technical support. Your investment into the Dewesoft solutions is protected for years ahead.

Robust and Rugged Data Acquisition

KRYPTON DAQ modules are extremely robust. We machine each one out of aluminum bricks and install industrial-grade electronics. Units are then sealed with thermally conductive and electrically isolative rubber. As a final touch, we add a rubber band around the KRYPTON chassis to further protect the unit from the shocks. The result is an IP67 degree of protection. Units are waterproof, shockproof, and can withstand shocks up to 100G.

KRYPTON can operate in extremely harsh environments and is rated to work in temperature span from -40°C to +85°C.

Extensive testing in our laboratories ensures bulletproof quality and worry-free testing under extreme conditions.

Distributed EtherCAT Data Acquisition

KRYPTON data acquisition systems are using 100 Mbit datalink based on EtherCAT protocol technology. Fast data bus allows many of the KRYPTON units to be daisy-chained together in the single measurement chain. At the end of the chain, RJ45 cable is used to plug into the Ethernet port of your PC computer or special, more rugged 8-pin LEMO connector to connect to our robust, powerful computers like KRYPTON CPU, SBOX, R2DB, R4 or R8.

EtherCAT brings another big advantage - zero configuration. KRYPTON devices do not require any complex IP setup. Simply connect them together to PC and Dewesoft X software will recognize and set up devices automatically.

There is a single cable required for data, power, and synchronization which can run up to 100 meters (300 feet) from module to module connecting amplifiers together.

Small and Flexible Data Acquisition

KRYPTON data acquisition modules are designed to be small, rugged, and modular especially made perfect for field measurements in any environment. The small size of KRYPTON modules allows them to fit perfectly in tight places and can be placed very near the sensors.

Traditional data acquisition systems are big boxes with many input channels, which means long and expensive sensor cabling is needed in order to perform data acquisition.

KRYPTON takes the opposite approach. We kept the same advantages of other Dewesoft DAQ devices like plug and play and sensor auto-detection), but with KRYPTON we are bringing the data acquisition system closer to the origin of data - near the sensors. This greatly reduces the cost of the sensor cabling, chances of wiring errors and greatly improves the signal quality.

High-End Signal Conditioning

KRYPTON offers high-quality analog amplifiers for very accurate signal measurement. KRYPTON modules are available practically for every signal and sensor type:

Voltage
Current
Resistance
IEPE/ICP® accelerometers, microphones, and other sensors
Charge
Strain: all bridge types are supported
Thermocouple
RTD - PTx
Digital input / Digital output
Analog output

KRYPTON I/O modules come with different input channel counts. See the section below for all available modules.

KRYPTON® Amplifier Modules

KRYPTON input and output amplifiers come in a variety of configurations. There are two basic families of KRYPTON devices.

KRYPTON® ONE

KRYPTON ONE are single-channel I/O modules. They are the smallest IP67 DAQ module in the world. The pocket-size devices allow the modules to be mounted in tight places, right next to the sensors. KRYPTON ONE modules offer high-end signal conditioning with 24-bit Sigma-delta ADC and offer up to 40 kS/s per channel sampling rate. All analog KRYPTON ONE modules are fully galvanically isolated.

KRYPTON® MULTI

KRYPTON MULTI are multi-channel I/O modules and come in two different sizes - single width or double width - depending on the type and number of input amplifiers. KRYPTON multi-channel devices use 24-bit Sigma-delta ADC and offer up to 20 kS/s per channel sampling rate.

Distributed Data Acquisition

Our data acquisition systems can easily be distributed via the EtherCAT data interface. This allows for a simple distribution of channels over larger vehicles or structures and can significantly shorten sensor cables. This is perfect to reduce problems like noise and signal quality in the data acquisition process, especially in very harsh environments. Only one cable is needed for power, data, and synchronization between the instruments.

Dewesoft instruments have high performance and maximum reliability due to high vibration resistance (> 100 G), extreme shockproof, and IP67 rating (dust, water, and humidity resistance).

Precise Synchronization

KRYPTON data acquisition hardware is capable to acquire different signals like the voltage, bridge, IEPE, thermocouple, digital, and more. With included DewesoftX software, you can easily acquire data from additional interfaces like GPS, Flexray, Ethernet, Serial, PCM telemetry, and many more.

Even though each data source can have different sampling rates (software selectable for each channel), all data is always perfectly synchronized down to microsecond accuracy. The synchronization between KRYPTON modules runs through the same cable as power and data.

KRYPTON DAQ modules can also be combined and synchronized with our fast USB DAQ devices like SIRIUS, MINITAURs, or DEWE-43A. For this, we have a small accessory called EtherCAT Sync Junction. This box will provide a clock source for synchronization. External timing sources like GPS or IRIG can be connected and used.

Works With 3rd-Party Real-Time EtherCAT Masters

The KRYPTON DAQ modules are also compatible with any 3rd-party real-time EtherCAT master such as Beckoff Twincat, MTS TestSuite, NI Labview, Matlab, Clemessy, and others.

Because KRYPTON offers perfect signal conditioning and offers very rugged distributed data acquisition it is a perfect device that can be used in the most demanding real-time test and control applications.

For more details on how to integrate KRYPTON with a real-time controller see the article Merging data acquisition with the real-time control system.
