  • Bootloader
  • DIN rail mounting

The ADwin-Gold system follows the standard ADwin concept with CPU, memory, analog, and digital inputs/outputs on a single system. It is housed in a robust metal enclosure and must be connected to a PC or a notebook computer via Ethernet or USB. ADwin-Gold has 16 differential analog inputs. There are two input blocks, with eight analog inputs each, connected to a multiplexer. The multiplexer outputs are connected with two different ADCs: a 14-bit ADC (0.5µs) to execute very fast measurements, and a 16-bit ADC (5µs) for highly accurate measurements. The ADCs can be started in synchronous or asynchronous mode.

The standard version of the ADwin-Gold system is equipped with two analog outputs with 16-bit resolution; up to eight analog outputs are available as options. The full range (20V) settling time is 10µs, while the 2V settling time is 3µs. The DAC outputs can be updated synchronously.

The system has 32 user-defined, TTL-compatible digital I/Os, configurable in groups of eight as inputs or outputs, and a trigger input (EVENT). The trigger input is used for external control of program sequences. The counter option, ADwin-G-CO1, provides four 32-bit counters for period width measurement, pulse measurement, or encoder interface. The bootloader option, ADwin-G-Boot, allows standalone operations (only in combination with an Ethernet interface).
