Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions about our products and services

Specify sensor model, its output protocol and the required PC/PLC interface. Connector shape or RS422 alone does not establish compatibility.

When combining two sensor signals for calculations such as thickness or diameter. DPU provides synchronous acquisition and calculation programs for compatible models.

Interface conversion does not establish that. Assess conversion error, resolution and throughput alongside sensor specifications.

Match input count, supported sensor types and synchronization. IF2004/USB and IF2008/ETH, for example, provide different channel counts and PC interfaces.

DPU documents parallel data output through three interfaces. Select outputs and analog scaling for the control system; this capability does not automatically apply to every interface adapter.
