Need to convert physical analogue signals into measurable digital readings? This CP 343-1 communications processor from Siemens collects physical evidence such as temperature, pressure, and voltage from real-world conditions. It then converts these measurements into digital data for research or fault detection purposes.

This system is designed to connect a SIMATIC S7-300 processor to an industrial Ethernet connection via ISO and TCP/IP (International Organisation for Standardisation and transmission control protocol/internet protocol), a PROFINET IO controller or PROFINET IO device. It collects and writes data and sends and receives with or without an RFC1006.

• IP20 (ingress protection) rating indicates internal components are touch-proof and shielded from items larger than 12mm to prevent injury and damage
• 0.22kg weight and dimensions of 40 (W) x 125 (H) x 120mm (W) for easy installation in confined spaces
• Operates in temperatures from 0°C to +60°C when installed horizontally, making it suitable for demanding industrial settings
• Rail mounting

Common sensors used in data acquisition systems include thermocouples and thermistors to measure temperature, accelerometers to measure movement and strain gauges to measure force.

You can use this item for research, design validation and diagnostics.
