Dual Processing Unit
The Dual Processing Unit (DPU) is an interface module that enables the synchronous recording and calculation of two sensor values and can also be used for digital/analogue conversion. The inputs on the module can be switched via software (encoder or RS422 input). Selectable programs allow the automatic calculation of thickness, diameter, step or inclination, concentricity and ovality. The data output can be digital or analogue with up to 100 kHz. Signal inputs and switching outputs are also available.
In the user-friendly web interface, the desired calculations can be selected and many other settings made. The DPU is downwards compatible with the C-Box/2A.
