NET-SERIES now with FIFO function
Software-based first-in/first-out principle optimizes measurement process
In the NET series modules, DEDITEC offers an optimised process for all module variants (analogue, digital, PWM, etc.) in the series. A new feature is the FIFO function, which enables a more constant sampling rate and reduces the load on the measuring PC when measuring via the Ethernet interface.
FIFO – “First in – First out” is familiar from logistics and means “what comes in first, goes out first”. At DEDITEC, we have implemented this principle in technical measurement processes with the aim of enabling measurement processes that require a constant sampling rate. Our software-based FIFO function in NET series modules solves problems both for “FIFO In” (values from the submodule module are sent to the interface module, e.g. for A/D and DI modules) situations / measurements / constellations, as well as for applications with “FIFO Out” (values from the interface module are sent to the submodule module, e.g. for D/A and DO modules).
Delays caused by the use of Ethernet interfaces, increased traffic volumes or long distances can be eliminated by using the NET series modules. On-site measurement with freely configurable time management, intermediate storage in the FIFO buffer and packet-based forwarding afterwards ensures ideal conditions, stable read-in and read-out and smooth data transmission.
All the advantages at a glance:
- Analog and digital values can be read out at very short intervals (milliseconds)
- Exact reading of the values in a self-defined time interval possible
- With higher utilization via the Ethernet interface, the FIFO does not consume more traffic
