General
The PD-ETH01V1 Interface Electronics is a powerful
and compact digital spectral data acquisition controller
with a Ethernet network interface. The product is directly compatible to all Front End Electronics (FEE)
which comply to tec5 specification ‘Interface_18*2’
(FEEs in version /EMB = ‘Embedded’).

§

Powerful and compact digital spectral data
acquisition controller with Ethernet interface
Ethernet 802.3 10/100 Base-T
(10 or 100 Mbit/s, 100 Mbit/s recommended)
For use with standard Ethernet networks as used
in office buildings or production sites
Especially suited for distributed systems and
decentralized monitoring
Long distance signal transmission (up to 100m
without repeater, almost unlimited with repeater)
Expanded spectral data buffer for
improved data transfer reliability
Front End Electronics can be mounted
in sandwich configuration
on top of the Ethernet Interface Electronics
Input from device:
Front End Electronics in /EMB version
Output to device:
PC with Ethernet network connection and Windows 2000/XP/Vista
External I/O:
- illumination control
- scan synchronization
- universal digital I/O
(3 digital outputs and 3 digital inputs)
External power supply required

Using the Ethernet Interface Electronics, the PC is able
to control the Frond End Electronics and the spectral
sensor connected to it. Once parameterized and started
by the PC, the data acquisition controller provides a
fully autonomous management of the selected readout
cycle. During spectral data acquisition the PC is able to
perform other tasks.
An integrated I²C bus allows additional information
transfer between connected electronics (e.g. parameters or coefficients, identification / version).

PC and Power Requirements
For operation, a PC connected to an Ethernet network,
a free network connection port and Windows Vista, XP
or 2000 is required.
The PD-ETH01V1 Interface Electronics is a ‘self powered’ device (not powered by the network). Thus, a
supply voltage of +5 VDC (±10%, typically < 300 mA for
PD-ETH01V1 board only) has to be provided by an
external supply for the Interface Electronics.
Hint: The ±12 VDC supply voltage is not used by the PDETH01V1 itself but it is only forwarded from the Power
connector to the Front End Electronics connector. It has
to be applied for configurations with Front End Electronics of type FEE-HS (FEE-CCD), it is not required for
FEE-1M (FEE-1M generates all voltages required for
it’s internal use and the sensor electronics from
+5 VDC). For power consumption of Front End Electronics and sensor units / preamplifiers refer to the components data sheets.
