ADLINK’s SDAQ-216 ultra-compact edge DAQ based on ARM Cortex-A9 processors and featuring built-in 16 channel, 16-bit,
analog voltage input, can function as a standalone edge device without a host PC and is ideally suited for 24-hour sensor measurement and condition monitoring IIoT applications. Through Gb Ethernet communication, data can be quickly transmitted
to a central hub. Dual Ethernet ports enable daisy-chain connections that reduce the cost of network equipment and extend the communication distance.
Distributed Data Acquisition at the Edge
In order to provide constant remote data acquisition and condition monitoring, a DAQ system composed of an embedded system
plus a DAQ card can be deployed at each remote machine site. However, when there are many remote machines spread out
geographically, the deployment of DAQ systems at each site becomes prohibitive. The SDAQ-216 is a standalone Ethernet DAQ
system that is designed specifically to perform the tasks of a DAQ system without requiring the complexity and added cost of an
embedded system.
Data Filtering at the Edge
The signals acquired by sensors are raw data that must be filtered and converted into usable data such as FFT, voltage, or current
values. The SDAQ-216 standalone DAQ system can be deployed at each field site and perform the task of filtering raw data
traditionally done by an embedded system. By converting and transmitting filtered, size-reduced data from the edge to a central
hub, network load and processing demands on backend servers are reduced dramatically.
iApp at the Edge
The SDAQ-216 offers flexible support options for custom filtering algorithms written in Python. These valuable and confidential
algorithms can be deployed and executed at the device as an iApp through iApp Creator contained in the DAQPilot software
package. The SDAQ-216 enables the migration of iApp, user-defined filtering algorithms, to the edge in a cost-effective manner.
Built-in Web Console
The SDAQ-216's built-in web console allows configuration via web browser to make it easy to get started with remote data
acquisition operation and eliminate the need for application specific programming. Settings for relevant parameters and data
types are presented in an intuitive dashboard format. The SDAQ-216 makes it quick and easy to set up remote data acquisition
operation.
ADLINK provides rich data connectivity to assist users with integrating the SDAQ-216 into their system.
• Streaming SDK (with C/C#/C++/Python/LabView sample code)
• RESTful API
ADLINK provides a powerful utility for users to manage devices, create iApps, and deploy them to devices for edge data analytics.
