Distributed EtherCAT Data Acquisition
KRYPTON data acquisition systems are using 100 Mbit datalink based on EtherCAT protocol technology. Fast data bus allows many of the KRYPTON units to be daisy-chained together in the single measurement chain. At the end of the chain, RJ45 cable is used to plug into the Ethernet port of your PC computer or special, more rugged 8-pin LEMO connector to connect to our robust, powerful computers like KRYPTON CPU, SBOX, R2DB, R4 or R8.
EtherCAT brings another big advantage - zero configuration. KRYPTON devices do not require any complex IP setup. Simply connect them together to PC and Dewesoft X software will recognize and set up devices automatically.
There is a single cable required for data, power, and synchronization which can run up to 100 meters (300 feet) from module to module connecting amplifiers together.
High-End Signal Conditioning
KRYPTON offers high-quality analog amplifiers for precise signal measurement. Available modules:
- STG: Differential voltage and Full/Half/Quarter bridge input. Available in 1, 3, and 6 channel configurations. Compatible with DSI adapters.

KRYPTON ONE
Single-Channel Data Acquisition Modules
KRYPTON ONE is the latest addition of rugged DAQ modules in the KRYPTON family line. KRYPTON ONE is the smallest IP67 DAQ module in the world. The pocket size allows the modules to be mounted in tight places, right next to the sensors. Units are highly distributable, connected with a single cable for power, data, and synchronization.
KRYPTON ONE data acquisition modules are completely compatible with every other KRYPTON, SIRIUS, and other data acquisition systems from Dewesoft.

Main characteristics of KRYPTON ONE modules
- The fastest KRYPTON: single-channel architecture allows a maximum sample rate of 40 kS/s.
- Isolation: all analog KRYPTON 1 modules are fully isolated.
- Current input: 1xSTG includes internal shunt for two current input ranges (20 mA, 2 mA).
- High current drive: 4xDO is capable of sinking 2A current to drive high loads.
- Easy stacking: modules can be stacked and tightened together with M4 hex key screws.
