Analog Digital Converter (ADC)
This board is a low cost version of the MFCB for use on dredging excavators, Hopper dredgers, Cutter dredgers, spreader pontoons.
Analog inclinometers can be read at very high frequency, filtered and send data over UDP signals to the survey PC.
2 Flowmeters or 2 cable counters can also be interfaced on one single board together with these analog sensors.
Optionally this unit can be delevered inside a subsea housing rated at 100m waterdepth together with subsea connections and a built in inclinometer pre calibrated.
choices for internal inclinometers:
Single axis: 90° ; 160° ; 360° range (Boom / Stick / Bucket sensor) the lower the range the higher the accuracy.
Dual axis: +/- 30° ; +/-90 (Cabine sensor / Grab lummel sensor)

Processor
Software
All basic
firmware is supplied to read and write all communication ports, to output data
on UDP and to read / write all peripheral ports. For the rest the board can be
programmed freely by the end user by the use of the language C++.
This gives you endless posibilities for configuration of the unit.
Software can be written on request for your application, feel free to contact us for more info.
