Siemens Data Acquisition, 8 Channel(s)

Collect and measure real-world conditions with this data acquisition Ethernet switch from Siemens. The unit relays analogue inputs into digital signals so you can evaluate physical characteristics like power and temperature. It has eight RJ45 connectors to channel multiple readings at speeds of 10 or 100Mbit/s. Two multimode BFOC ports let you create a star topology network as a central hub. A redundant power supply limits downtimes by keeping your operation running when faults occur. You can use this switch in research and development, process control and testing applications.

• 35mm DIN-rail mounting for space-saving installation
• IP20 rating indicates a touch-proof unit to protect against electric shocks
• Integrated LED status indicators let you quickly identify problems
• Wide operating temperature range between 0°C and +60°C for use in demanding conditions
• 340g weight puts minimal strain on your setup

The compact unit has dimensions of 80 (W) x 117 (H) x 109mm (D), so it takes up minimal space.

Switches like this one use integrated sensors, conditioning circuitry and analogue-to-digital converters to collect and relay data.
