Main Features

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.
UP TO 100m BETWEEN UNITS: KRYPTON units can be distributed over a large area with distances up to 100 meters between DAQ nodes.
RUGGED IP67: All KRYPTON modules are rugged with the IP67 degree of protection and ready for testing in extreme weather and harsh environments.
1, 3, 4, 8, and 16 CHANNEL UNITS: KRYPTON DAQ modules are available in various configurations spanning from tiny single-channel units up to bigger 16-channel units. Instruments can be distributed down to a single channel.
UP TO 20 kHz/CH SAMPLING RATE: Multi-channel KRYPTON DAQ modules can achieve a sampling rate of up to 20 kS/second and KRYPTON ONE single channel up to 40 kS/second.
UNIVERSAL ANALOG INPUTS: Universal analog inputs are available that can accept voltage and full/half/quarter bridge signals natively as well as IEPE, charge, thermocouples, RTD, current, resistance, and LVDT signals with the use of DSI adapters.
SOFTWARE INCLUDED WITH FREE LIFETIME UPGRADES: Easy to use, yet very robust in functionality, award-winning DewesoftX software is included. The software comes with lifetime free upgrades and no hidden costs, bringing you intuitive configuration, smart sensors, advanced storage, and analysis capabilities.

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.

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.

High-End Signal Conditioning

KRYPTON is not just small and rugged but also has quality analog amplifiers for precise signal measurement. An array of different modules are available for almost any sensor:

STG: Universal differential voltage and Full/Half/Quarter bridge input. Available in 1, 3, and 6 channel configurations. Compatible with DSI adapters.
TH: Universal isolated thermocouple input module. Accepts all thermocouple types. Available in 8 and 16 channel configurations and as a single channel for high voltage thermocouple measurements.
RTD: Universal differential PTx temperature, resistance, and voltage input module. Available in an 8 channel configuration
LV: Isolated voltage input module. Available in 1, 4, and 8 channel configurations.
LA: Isolated low current measurement module. Available in 8 channel configuration.
ACC - IEPE accelerometer and microphone input unit in 1, 4, and 8 channel configuration
DI / DO - Digital I/O module. Available in 4xDI, 4xDO, 16xDI, 16xDO, or 8xDI/8xDO channel configurations.
AO - analog output is available in single-channel configurations
CNT - a single channel DEWESoft SUPERCOUNTER® module

KRYPTON ONE
Single-Channel Data Acquisition Modules

KRYPTON ONE is the latest addition of rugged DAQ modules in the KRYPTON family line. KRYPTON ONE is the smallest IP67 DAQ module in the world. The pocket size allows the modules to be mounted in tight places, right next to the sensors. Units are highly distributable, connected with a single cable for power, data, and synchronization.

KRYPTON ONE data acquisition modules are completely compatible with every other KRYPTON, SIRIUS, and other data acquisition systems from Dewesoft.

Isolation: all analog KRYPTON 1 modules are fully isolated.
Current input: 1xSTG includes internal shunt for two current input ranges (20 mA, 2 mA).
High current drive: 4xDO is capable of sinking 2A current to drive high loads.
Easy stacking: modules can be stacked and tightened together with M4 hex key screws.

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.
