Precisely align and integrate your data acquisition and motion control

Aerotech's Sensor FusionTM is a 3U data acquisition device integrated with our Automation 3200 motion controller to provide precise time alignment of motion and data acquisition functions. Integrating data acquisition into the motion control platform allows for a cost-effective data acquisition solution with quick and easy configuration and setup for shorter development time. Sensor Fusion accepts up to four different SF cards. Data collection is synchronized across all cards so there is never a need to align data after collection. Data collection, configuration, and analysis are done using the A3200's extensive set of software tools, so there is no additional software required. SF cards are available for digital input and output, analog input and output, encoder input, and PSO output. Each card can be used in the Sensor Fusion, in any configuration. Both high-power digital output cards and high-resolution analog output cards are offered. With no parameters to manage and no difficult setup to go through, switching cards from one system to another is easy. Breakout blocks make accessing each of the inputs and outputs simple, while the use of standard D-connectors on each card allows users to make their cables from common parts. Interfaces Setup, data recording, and data playback can be done through .NET, C, LabVIEW®, MATLAB®, or Aerotech's own AeroBasicTM programming language. All inputs and outputs can be managed graphically through our I/O Manager utility that is part of the Motion Composer in the A3200 software suite. By managing data acquisition directly from the same library or interface used to program motion control, there is less time spent managing separate environments. Once data is collected it can be graphed in the Digital Scope or exported to other data manipulation packages. Sensor Fusion connects to the A3200 Motion Network via Firewire® and can be run with or without any A3200 motion control devices. Click here to read more.
