SCADAS Durability Recorder

Rugged and durable for complex, high-channel count measurements in tough environments
Built on LMS SCADAS Mobile technology, the LMS SCADAS Durability Recorder is specifically designed for mobile data acquisition for durability. Durability data acquisition equipment needs to be rugged and robust to handle all the water, dust, dirt, shocks and jolts associated with real-life testing scenarios on public roads and proving grounds. This is the same reasoning why using a PC is not convenient and autonomous recording and on-the-spot validation is a must. For long and repetitive acquisitions requiring high-channel counts and large data storage, you can easily see the need for a dedicated solution like the reliable LMS SCADAS Durability Recorder.

Rugged and durable from connection to the final measurement

Durable measurements start with quality cables and rugged connectors for no-compromise data acquisition security. The LEMO connectors on the LMS SCADAS Durability Recorder ensure vibration-resistant cable connections.
 
The LMS SCADAS Durability Recorder is a rugged instrument with true MIL-STD-810F compliancy. Its sturdy and robust design can stand up to the most diverse external climate conditions from -20°C to +55°C and is tested for 60gpk shock and 7.7grms vibration. The LMS SCADAS Durability recorder contains no moving parts such as fans or hard discs. It is also available in a sealed version to resist dust and water according ingress protection code IP54.

Flexible, future-proof, all-in-one system with easy instrumentation

Your average data acquisition measurement today covers a wide range of challenges from analog to digital sensor synchronization to integrated CAN bus and GPS data. Or perhaps the focus is on flexibility: measure any combination of strain, displacement, acceleration, velocity… all without swapping cards or external signal conditioning.
 
The universal durability card (DB8) supports it all:  signal conditioning, A/D conversion and signal processing for strain gauges in full, half and quarter bridge configurations, as well as potentiometers and bridge-type capacitive, piezo-resistive or MEMS-based accelerometers. Offering the unique combination of strain, vibration and displacement measurements in one single module, the DB8 is the most versatile solution for durability-type measurement campaigns. Moreover, the card has only one pin assignment for all sensors, which means a cable error is practically impossible.

Autonomous data recording

The LMS SCADAS Durability Recorder operates 100% autonomously and is particularly suited for challenging test applications, where using a PC-based data acquisition unit is unpractical or not even possible. With direct 24-bit streaming, it stores the acquired data and the conversation format on high-performance, fast read/write solid-state CompactFlash memory cards. The data is perfectly ready for on-site analysis or further study back at the lab.

Smart recording

Using the Bluetooth antenna and a Microsoft Windows Mobile PDA, LMS SCADAS Recorder users can control and monitor the entire measurement process via the PDA’s easy-to-use graphical user interface. Measurement control includes starting and stopping the acquisition as well as selecting the appropriate measurement set-up or even changing measurement settings. During the measurement, signals can be displayed in bar graphs. It even indicates errors, such as overloads or faulty cables. After the measurement, a quick overview of relevant statistics (min, max, rms, mean) as well as the time series instantly validates measured data.

Flexible data acquisition front-end

The LMS SCADAS Durability Recorder can also be used as a PC front-end system for laboratory and mobile in-field testing. This indoor-outdoor flexibility is the perfect way to reduce overall hardware cost and eliminate the hassle and inconvenience of switching systems. The LMS SCADAS Durability Recorder is seamlessly integrated with the LMS software for durability testing and analysis, delivering optimal data quality and consistency.
