Data Acquisition Systems

The Fluke 2680A Data Acquisition System is the choice for multi-channel applications requiring reliable Ethernet communications. It features a front-end style data acquisition system that communicates and distributes data anywhere required. The 10BaseT and 100BaseT communications interface makes it compatible with both older and newer network installations. The system writes data to a memory card for easy retrieval and storage, making it ideal for remote locations and mobile or non-computer assisted data logging applications. The system comes with a 16 MB ATA memory card and supports ATA flash memory cards of up to 1 GB to provide the required memory capacity. The 2686A is easily configured for stand-alone data logging operations by simply selecting a preset configuration from the memory card. It can also be used in networks in tandem with the 2680A to provide the extra data security of a memory card. With the Fluke 2680A and the 2686A, one can seamlessly expand the system from 20 to more than 2,000 channels just by adding modules and chassis. Both models feature six slots in each chassis that can be filled with modules as needed to meet any application requirements. Five slots in each chassis are available for any combination of 20-channel analog input modules. The sixth slot is also available for a digital I/O relay module to add control capabilities to the system. If not needed, the sixth slot may be used to plug in an additional analog input module, increasing the input channel count to 120 in one chassis.
