Controller Modules

The controller modules act as communication interface between a PULSE Front-end and a PC running PULSE software, via LAN (Local Area Network). Measures voltage or physical parameters like position, wind speed or temperature via 12 auxiliary input channels.

Features

• Sets up and transmits data from input modules, provides sampling clock and synchronisation of front-ends
• Connection of remote control for sound intensity measurements via RS-232 interface
• Data transfer according to standard TCP/IP protocol

Synchronisation and Stacking

Controller Modules control and route all communication between the PC and the input/output modules, and transmit or receive synchronisation and clock signals to or from other front-ends. This enables up to 10 units to be combined to act as one multichannel system. It also enables all front-ends in a system to be turned on or off simultaneously.

RS-232

An RS-232 interface on the front panel allows communication with the optional Remote Control Unit ZH 0632 for sound intensity measurements. The interface is also used for setting up the LAN address and testing the front-end hardware.

Auxiliary Channels

12 DC channels, present on a single connector, are each sampled 10 times per second. The channels are single-ended and have six input ranges from 0.1V to 31.6 V in 10 dB steps.
