|
| Customer: University
of Den Bosch Supplier: Doedijns, BV-Netherlands |
This system is designed to be used by
engineering students for calculation and monitoring purposes. Students
perform measurements on the hydraulic, diesel and cooling systems. The main
strength of any solution had to be its ease of use and low cost, providing
monitoring to several users at the same time in a classroom
situation.
As well as this financial aspect, there were many
technical requirements which led to the choice of Datascan.
The
system is spread over 3 different locations using Datascan's distributed
capabilities. The customer also required the system to be easily
expendable to meet any future needs of the students, and in that respect
the Datascan networking ability was very attractive. In particular the use
of the 701 1 gateway modules gave the possibility for several users
located in different rooms to have access to the same data without the
complexities involved with managing a software network.
As various
types of sensors are measured the mix and match capability of the analog
modules permits a cost
effective solution that can handle the change of
transducer types, which is required in a research
environment.
