cDAC
is
Cooper
Technology’s
next-generation
digital
data
acquisition
and
control
system,
seamlessly
integrated
with
the
powerful
DIMENSION
software.
Driven
by
an
Atmel
AT91SAM
processor,
it
offers
exceptional
speed,
precision,
and
connectivity
through
Ethernet,
USB,
and
serial
interfaces.
Designed
for
long-term
reliability,
it
combines
advanced
diagnostics,
flexible
communication,
and
safe
system
control.
Its
modular
architecture
features
an
Acquisition
Card
with
8
TEDS-enabled
inputs,
24-bit
resolution,
and
5kHz
scan
rate
for
accurate,
linear
data
collection.
The
Servo
Control
Card
includes
dual
5kHz
PID
loops,
standalone
operation,
and
16-bit
analog
outputs,
ensuring
precise
and
responsive
performance.
Meanwhile,
the
Digital
I/O
Card
scans
inputs
at
5kHz,
offering
opto-isolated
24V
inputs
and
1.6A
outputs
configurable
as
counters
or
PWM
signals.
Together,
cDAC
and
DIMENSION
provide
unmatched
reliability,
versatility,
and
control
for
both
standard
and
advanced
materials
testing
applications.
