SIRIUS® modular is the world's most versatile and powerful data acquisition system. SIRIUS® provides high-end signal conditioning amplifiers for almost any signal and sensor. SIRIUS data acquisition systems are truly the latest in DAQ technology and offer high dynamic range (160 dB), galvanic isolation, etc. They are available in USB or EtherCAT® configurations.
 
All SIRIUS® instruments are bundled with award-winning data acquisition software and come with an industry-leading 7-year warranty.
 
Next Generation DAQ System
The SIRIUS data acquisition system is designed to be accurate, flexible, modular, expandable, and safe. The main development goal of the SIRIUS DAQs was to create a simple-to-use data acquisition device that prevents frequent errors during the measurement process.
 
Intuitive and easy to use
Using Dewesoft data acquisition systems does not require any complex configuration setups or programming knowledge. We also kept this in mind when designing SIRIUS® XHS.
 
DualCoreADC® signal conditioning technology
 
The DualCoreADC® technology solves often-faced problems with signal measurement:
 
signal input overload,
noise, and
artificial frequencies in the signal caused by aliasing.
 
The input signal can be higher than expected by the signal conditioner (out-of-range) and therefore clipped by the ADC. This will result in an incorrect measurement and will require you to repeat the test all over again.
 
DualCoreADC technology prevents these problems. Each channel amplifier has two A/D converters that measure the high and the low gain of the input signal in parallel. This results in the full possible measuring range of the sensor and prevents the signal from being clipped. 
 
Channel-to-channel galvanic isolation
SIRIUS DAQ devices offer high galvanic channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground isolation (±1000 V). The DAQ systems even offer isolated sensor excitation.
 
SuperCounters®: precise speed and angle measurement with counter and encoder sensors
Dewesoft data acquisition systems utilize a patented and registered trademark technology called SuperCounter®.
 
Counter inputs can measure the RPM and angle of rotating machines. In comparison to standard counters, which only output integer numbers one sample later (e.g. 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4), the Dewesoft SuperCounter inputs are able to extract accurate values like 1.37, 1.87, 2.37, etc. fully synchronized for time and amplitude.
 
Input Amplifiers for Every Sensor
SIRIUS offers a range of different signal amplifiers for almost every signal type and connection of practically any type of sensor. SIRIUS slices are available in two versions:
 
Galvanically isolated version with 1000V galvanic channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground isolation.
Differential version with differential inputs and isolated power supply.
 
Standard or Customized Front-End Configuration
SIRIUS slices are available with 8 or 16 channels per slice. Standard front-end configurations are available or you can freely customize each of the eight available channel slots from the list of available amplifiers. With some amplifiers, you can choose several connector types. At your request, we can develop a custom connector type. Please contact us to discuss that option.
 
Available signal amplifiers
SIRIUS® data acquisition systems offer different signal conditioning amplifiers grouped into three main amplifier families.
 
DualCoreADC® amplifiers
High-density (HD) amplifiers
High-speed (HS) amplifiers
 
IEPE Sensor Check
SIRIUS ACC and Charge signal amplifiers for IEPE sensors are equipped with a LED ring around the input connector for visual feedback that tells if the sensors are connected correctly. When an IEPE sensor is connected, the amplifier will constantly check the current flow to the sensor and will turn the LED bright green or bright red, depending on, if the sensor's impedance is okay.
 
CAN and CAN FD interface
SIRIUS® signal conditioning slices are equipped with one CAN/CAN FD port for analyzing CAN bus data. Additionally, we provide a CAN-only SIRIUS® module that fits 9 CAN ports into one SIRIUS® module.
 
Analog Output
SIRIUS data acquisition systems can optionally be configured with 8 analog output channels. Analog out connectors are installed on the device's backplane with 8 BNC connectors.
 
Analog Output Modes
The analog outputs on SIRIUS can be configured and used with one of the following modes of operation.
 
Function Generator
Standalone Signal Conditioning
Control Channels
File Replay to Analog
 
Precise Synchronization of Input Signals and Data Sources
SIRIUS DAQ hardware is capable of recording different signals like the voltage, current, strain, IEPE/ICP®, charge, digital, counter, encoder, and others. With the included DewesoftX software, you can also record data from digital interfaces like Video, GPS/GNSS, Flexray, Ethernet, Serial, XCP/CCP, PCM telemetry, and many others. 
 
Expand Channel Count and Distribute Devices
If one SIRIUS slice does not provide enough input channels, you can easily extend and daisy chain multiple slices to form large channel-count systems. Slices can be daisy-chained for power and synchronization. A rugged USB hub (DS-HUB7) is available for the connection of up to 7 SIRIUS slices. 1 USB cable is then needed for connection from the USB hub to the PC or SBOX computer.
 
Fanless, Dustproof, and IP67 Waterproof Protection
SIRIUS modular data acquisition systems are also available in a more rugged fanless chassis enclosure (SIRIUSf). SIRIUS fanless devices are designed without any cooling fans and are much more suited for measurements in heavy industrial and dusty environments. All SIRIUS fanless devices are IP50 rated and completely dust-protected. 
 
Available in Many Chassis Enclosures
Next to modular SIRIUS devices, the SIRIUS data acquisition technology is also available in different chassis enclosures. These will transform SIRIUS into a high-channel rack-mountable DAQ system or portable DAQ system with a built-in display, keyboard, and batteries or high-channel-count data acquisition systems.
