4. Installation
Before installing the transducer on the robot, install the DAQ system components and install the software on the
computer connected to the DAQ system. After testing the transducer and DAQ system to check its functionality,
the Transducer can be installed on the robot. The ATI DAQ Demo Software is used to monitor forces, torques and
strain gages on the Transducer during installation to the robot.
The following sections provide instruction for installing some typical DAQ Systems:
Section 4.1—Installing a DAQ System with a Transducer, IFPS or PS Box, and DAQ Device
Section 4.2—Installing a DAQ System with Multiple Transducers, IFPSMC Box, and DAQ Device
4.1 Installing a DAQ System with a Transducer, IFPS or PS Box, and DAQ
Device
Typically DAQ systems are limited to a single transducer, PS or IFPS box. DAQ devices with 64 pin screw
terminals can support two transducers and two PS or IFPS boxes. Refer to
for additional screw
terminal connections required.
1.
Install the data acquisition system hardware (DAQ card, DAQ Device, power supply, and/or cabling) and
its accompanying software following the instructions included with the hardware.
2.
Connect the 26-pin connector of the Power Supply cable to the DAQ Power Supply (PS) or Interface
Power Supply (IFPS) box. Tighten the jackscrews on the connector to insure a good electrical
connection.
