System Overview

As part of an industrial measurement system, the Irinos-System covers all functionality, which is time-critical and hardware dependant.

It allows for an easy connection of various probe and sensor types, e.g. inductive probes. Via a directly attachable foot-switches or push-button and via digital I/Os, control functions can be integrated.

The measurement values and the I/O data is exchanged via Standard-Ethernet to the PC, where it is processed in a measurement software:

For time-critical applications, measurement data can be sampled synchronously in realtime. The measurement values are sampled and buffered simultaneously by the Irinos-System. The Irinos-System sorts them similar to a table and transfers them to the PC.

This real-time sampling is independent of the time-response of the PC! As an example, roundness and form measurements can even be done using a standard laptop without special hardware or realtime extensions. Integration on the PC side is done via a Windows DLL with a simple but powerful API.

Measurement hardware, software and PC are available from Messtechnik Sachs as a complete system. However, due to the open concept, the Irinos can also be used with measurement software and PCs from other manufacturers. Alternatively the DLL can be integrated into your own measurement software.
