Product description
The FBG-Scan X0X-EP series of interrogation units refers to the FBG-Scan 804, 808, 904 or 908 optical engines in combination with an Embedded Processing (EP) platform that is housed in a 19” chassis. It is an industrial, dynamic, precise measurement devices for Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors based on spectrometer technology. The system offers a cost effective solution and is offered as a 4 or 8 channel system. Depending on the version type, a stability down to 0,3pm and an absolute wavelength accuracy of 10pm can be achieved using a built-in wavelength reference (only for 90X series).
The system is supplied with the “ILLumiSense” software, which is used to visualize and process the FBG wavelengths and convert these data into engineered data such as temperature and strain data.
The system can be accessed remotely using one of the Ethernet connections. The Ethernet ports can also be used for streaming out the measured data over a network or for sending API commands to the ILLumiSense via a Web Server. However, access to the system, measurement software and data can also be done directly by connecting a keyboard, mouse and screen to the system (not included).
