Simcenter SCADAS Satellite reduces test campaign costs, improves signal quality by digitizing signals close to the sensor and simplifies instrumentation through reduction of cables, faster installation and easier field repair.
When testing large structures, a centralized setup increases instrumentation costs because numerous long cables need to be installed. In case of a sensor or cable problem, repair is a real challenge. With a distributed setup that includes Simcenter SCADAS Satellite placed near the sensors and connected with a single wire to Simcenter SCADAS Recorder, you can simplify instrumentation and repair, and reduce cabling and installation costs. Lengthy cables also compromise signal accuracy. Strain gauges and accelerometers are sensitive to noise pickup, electromagnetic interference and noise distortion. Using Simcenter SCADAS Satellite brings digitalization close to the sensor and provides digital and synchronized data to Simcenter SCADAS Recorder, improving signal quality. Simcenter SCADAS Satellite is rugged, featuring an IP66/67 enclosure and military standard shock and vibration resistance.
