Example Product Configurations for Power Generation

Industry: Power Generation

Application: Turbine blade analysis

Priority: High-speed, accurate sampling from strain gauges.

System Needs: The system needs to accomplish fast sampling of dynamic strain measurements on moving parts, as opposed to traditional, lower frequency strain measurements for which most data acquisition systems are designed.

System Solution: A LAN-based test system for dynamic strain based on the ProDAQ 3424, a function card that has the features needed for strain measurements and connects directly to a strain conditioning device with high enough bandwidth to connect collect data at higher sampling rates.

Industry: Power Generation

Application: Predictive analytics

Priority: Accuracy, channel density, real-time simulation and modeling capability.

System Needs: The system needs to include high channel density, accuracy, and the ability to implement custom algorithms in both the real-time VXI controller and the DSP.

System Solution: Using an existing configuration based on a PowerPC embedded VXI controller running a real-time OS, along with VXI motherboard carriers populated with function cards to perform predictive analysis and anticipate future data.

Industry: Power Generation

Application: Nuclear power plant testing

Priority: Small system footprint, system that easily can be transported to different locations

System Needs: The system must be versatile and include 240 channels, where each channel can be used for high or low-speed data acquisition and is software-configurable for bridge or strain input as well as other voltage-excited transducers.

System Solution: Creating a system with easily reconfigurable software that allows users the versatility to configure any input channel for high or low-speed voltages, strain gauges, accelerometers, or DC LVDTs.
