Hardware Real Time DAQ with Matlab

[Johl]

Hi everybody,

for a research project we'd like to acquire measurement data from different types of sensors (IEPE accelerometers, strain gauges). These data shall be the input for a multibody model exported from SIMPACK. Both, the data acqusition and the simulation should be done in real time.

I know that both subsystems - the acqusition and the simulation model - can be incorporated into Matlab/Simulink. Which kind of NI hardware is suitable for our specifications? Do we really need a PXI system with embedded controller unit or can we somehow use the CompactDAQ in combination with a real time PC?

Thanks for your help!

Hello Johl

here you find the list

Hardware Support from Simulink Desktop Real-Time

Normally USB devices will not be used in RT systems. You can do the signal conditioning in the terminal block SCC-2345 or SCC-68.

Thanks for your support, Alexander.

Is it possible to use the SC 2345 in combination with IEPE accelerometers? Those require a constant current as carrier signal.

Hello Johl 

the name of the module you are searching is SCC-ACC01 this could be an option.

Please contact your local seller about price informations.
