OBSIDIAN®

Data logger and embedded data acquisition system

Description

The OBSIDIAN® line features advanced data loggers and embedded DAQ systems. They’re powered by a low-energy ARM-based CPU on a Linux® architecture. OBSIDIAN is versatile, serving as a standalone data logger, real-time control system, and signal conditioning frontend. We offer high-end multi-channel signal amplifiers compatible with many sensors including voltage, current, IEPE, thermocouple, RTD, and strain gauges.

OBSIDIAN® systems come equipped with our new DewesoftRT embedded software as well as DewesoftX software for signal processing and data analysis. They’re backed by an industry-leading 7-year warranty.

OBSIDIAN® are versatile data acquisition devices that mark a significant innovation in data acquisition systems: the introduction of a low-power ARM processor. This step forward adopts the advanced technology typically found in mobile devices, enabling the integrated ARM CPU to perform complex operations efficiently with minimal energy consumption.

OBSIDIAN® devices are running our new DewesoftRT data acquisition software on a Linux operating system. The ARM CPU enables OBSIDIAN® devices to offer unparalleled flexibility. This combination of Linux OS, ARM CPU technology, and DewesoftRT allows OBSIDIAN® to be adaptable for a variety of uses, including:

  • Data acquisition system
  • Stand-alone data logger
  • Real-time control front-end system
  • Signal conditioning system with cloud or Industry 4.0 connectivity

The potential applications are limitless, and this is just the beginning. OBSIDIAN® devices continually receive complimentary software and firmware updates, introducing new features and capabilities. In line with our tradition, we remain committed to listening to our customers and using their feedback to guide our research and development efforts. OBSIDIAN® is more than a mere data acquisition system; it represents a dynamic platform poised for ongoing evolution and expansion.

OBSIDIAN® highlights

Embedded CPU

The built-in dual-core 1.5 GHz ARM processor, running Linux OS and DewesoftRT software, makes OBSIDIAN ideal for embedded applications like data logging, cloud data collection, and real-time control.

Rugged design

When testing on the field and in harsh environments the OBSIDIAN® R8w model features shock and vibration ratings up to 75 g, IP67 protection against water, dust, and smoke, and a MIL-810F environmental rating. This rugged design protects your investment and your measurements.

Wide temperature range

Certain OBSIDIAN® models are certified to operate from -40°C to 85°C, making them suitable for use in extreme temperature environments.

Onboard data storage

OBSIDIAN® data loggers include 4 GB of internal storage that can be extended up to 1 TB via an SD card slot or a USB Type-C external HDD or SSD.

Low power consumption

Extremely powerful but designed to operate with very low power consumption which makes it a perfect choice for applications where power consumption is of critical importance.

High-end signal conditioning

OBSIDIAN® systems accept our IOLITE® signal conditioning amplifiers. These high-end signal amplifiers are suitable for voltage, current, resistance, IEPE, charge, strain gauge, bridge, digital counters, RTDs, thermocouples, and more.

Redundant power supply

OBSIDIAN’s redundant power supplies seamlessly switch between available power sources, ensuring uninterrupted availability even for the most demanding test applications.

External master mode

When the primary EtherCAT® bus is switched to external master mode, OBSIDIAN sends full-speed buffered data to a PC running DewesoftX software. This way OBSIDIAN® functions the same as any other Dewesoft data acquisition system, enabling full-speed buffered data acquisition to a PC.

Secondary EtherCAT bus

A secondary EtherCAT data bus can be used in parallel to serve data with low latency (real-time) to third-party control systems like Labview, Beckoff, Clemessy Syclone, MTS FlexTest, Acontis, and similar EtherCAT masters.

Great connectivity

Standard data interfaces are available to transfer the data to real-time controllers, cloud servers, and Industry 4.0 clients. OBSIDIAN utilizes a wide variety of standard data interfaces including EtherCAT®, OPC UA, XCP, and CAN.

DewesoftM mobile app

Our DewesoftM mobile app can be used to configure and view live measured data on all OBSIDIAN devices. The app is compatible with iOS and Android devices, and you can download it from your preferred app store today.

Software included

OBSIDIAN® devices come bundled with DewesoftX Professional software for advanced data analysis and DewesoftRT software for stand-alone data logger and controller operation. Both applications include free lifetime software updates.

Dewesoft quality and 7-year warranty

Enjoy our industry-leading 7-year warranty. Our data acquisition systems are made in Europe, utilizing only the highest build quality standards. We offer free and customer-focused technical support. Your investment into the Dewesoft solutions is protected for years ahead.
