Dewesoft products
Measurement systems from a single channel to hundreds. All devices work together and with the same software.
General-purpose DAQ systems
For the lab, the test bench and field work. Connect the device to a computer and start measuring.
SIRIUS
Dewesoft’s best-known DAQ system. Units stack on top of each other and the inputs of each unit are chosen for the task: voltage, current, IEPE, bridge, counter or CAN.
- 160 dB dynamic range
- ±1000 V galvanic isolation
- USB or EtherCAT
SIRIUS X
The new-generation SIRIUS. It connects over a network cable and, through open interfaces, also fits into systems from other vendors.
- up to 32 analogue channels
- up to 500 kS/s, 24-bit
- Gigabit Ethernet (PoE, PTP), EtherCAT, CAN FD
SIRIUS mini
A portable sound and vibration analyser powered straight from the computer’s USB port.
- 4 IEPE or voltage inputs
- 160 dB, 200 kS/s per channel
- weighs 0.75 kg
DEWE-43A
A small all-rounder: analogue inputs, counters and CAN in one enclosure. A good first step into the Dewesoft world.
- 8 universal analogue inputs
- 8 digital/counter inputs, 2 × CAN
- up to 200 kS/s, 24-bit
High-speed measurement and power analysis
Electric drives, inverters, the grid and tests that need megahertz sampling or hundreds of channels.
SIRIUS XHS
Dewesoft’s top product: a high-speed DAQ system and a three-phase power analyser in one device.
- up to 15 MS/s per channel, 5 MHz bandwidth
- power quality up to supraharmonics (2–150 kHz)
- voltage inputs up to 2000 V, 0.03% accuracy
SIRIUS XR
A rack system for large tests. One chassis combines fast XHS modules and general-purpose X modules.
- XR5: up to 160 analogue channels
- XR9: up to 288 analogue channels, 19” rack
- two 10 Gbit network ports, PTP and GPS sync
SIRIUS XHS-PWR
A unit that connects in line with an electric vehicle’s high-voltage cables. It measures voltage and current at the same time, calculates power and adds up the energy. The current transducer (DC-CT) is built in, so no separate sensors are needed.
- voltage up to ±2000 V
- current up to 1000 A (2000 A peak)
- IP67, sampling up to 15 MS/s
DC-CT current transducer
A current transducer built on Dewesoft’s own patented technology. It gives the accuracy of a zero-flux transducer in a smaller housing with lower power consumption, and measures both DC and AC.
- up to 1000 A DC, 700 A AC (rms)
- bandwidth up to 1 MHz
- IP67, −40 to +85 °C
Industrial, test-bench and rugged systems
Distributed measurement and control over EtherCAT or Ethernet: in a cabinet, on a test bench or right on the machine.
IOLITE
Measurement and control in one system. Suited to test benches and industry, where the same data has to reach both the measurement computer and the control system.
- two EtherCAT buses and redundant power
- R12: 19” rack, up to 12 modules
- R8: compact chassis, 8 modules
IOLITE X
A small fanless module that mounts on a DIN rail close to the sensor and connects with a standard network cable.
- up to 500 kS/s, 24-bit
- Gigabit Ethernet (PoE, PTP), OPC UA
- operating temperature −40 to +70 °C
KRYPTON
For harsh conditions: water, dust, cold and vibration. Modules sit next to the measurement point and are daisy-chained with a single cable.
- IP67, −40 to +85 °C, 100 g shock
- EtherCAT, up to 50 m between modules
- 1–16 channels per module
OBSIDIAN
A stand-alone data logger that runs without a computer and passes data on over industrial protocols.
- Linux and DewesoftRT
- EtherCAT, CAN, OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus
- redundant power supply
Monitoring, navigation and computers
Devices that complement a DAQ system or work on their own for long periods.
NEMOSENSE
A smart triaxial accelerometer that records and sends data by itself. Made for long-term monitoring of bridges, buildings and machines.
- Ethernet and MQTT, optional LTE and PoE
- IP67, optional battery power
- 32 GB internal storage
NAVION i2
An inertial navigation system for vehicle testing: position, speed and body motion from one device.
- GNSS plus inertial sensor, 100 Hz
- dual antenna, down to 1 cm with RTK
- Ethernet, CAN, RS232
SBOX
A measurement computer that attaches to SIRIUS units and turns them into a stand-alone DAQ system.
- Intel Core i5 processor
- removable SSD
- EtherCAT, 2 × Gigabit Ethernet, optional GNSS
Software
The main software is DewesoftX, described below. Next to it there is separate software for the phone, for running inside the device and for keeping data long-term.
DewesoftM
A mobile app for connecting to a device, configuring it and viewing measured data straight from your phone.
- quick checks at the test site without a computer
- works with the new-generation (openDAQ) devices
DewesoftRT
Software that runs inside the device, so the device measures, processes and stores data on its own, without a measurement computer.
- runs on Linux and an ARM processor
- used in OBSIDIAN, for example
Historian
A time-series database for long-term and permanent monitoring. Measurement data is collected in one place, and trends and limits can be followed on a dashboard.
- for condition monitoring of machines, bridges and buildings
- works with NEMOSENSE and other Dewesoft devices
One software for everything: DewesoftX
Every device on this page works with the same software, DewesoftX. It is included with the hardware and updates are free.
Recorded data can be opened and analysed on any number of computers without an extra licence, so the whole team can work with the results. Some specialised analyses are separate add-on modules.
openDAQ: an open interface
openDAQ is an open-source software development kit (SDK) that gives measurement devices and software from different vendors one common way to describe themselves and exchange data. It was founded by Dewesoft and HBK. The SDK is free (Apache 2.0 licence), runs on Windows, Linux and macOS and can be used from C++, Python, C#, C and Delphi.
In practice, a device with openDAQ support can be found on the network and read from your own program or another vendor’s software, not only from DewesoftX. Devices with openDAQ support: SIRIUS X, SIRIUS XHS, SIRIUS XR, SIRIUS XHS-PWR, IOLITE X and OBSIDIAN.
Warranty and calibration
Dewesoft gives its measurement hardware a 7-year warranty. The warranty requires the instrument to be calibrated every year; see the warranty terms.
Calibration confirms that the device still measures as accurately as promised. Dewesoft offers two services: factory calibration, with a traceable certificate valid for one year, and accredited calibration according to ISO/IEC 17025. Both measurement devices and current transducers can be calibrated.
For acoustics there is a separate service for sound level meters, measurement microphones and acoustic calibrators.
