Dataforth: Official Distributor In The UK & USA

Since 1984 Dataforth have provided instrument class signal conditioning, data acquisition, and data communication hazard protection solutions to the ever-enlarging factory automation markets. The original entrepreneurial venture was spawned by the Burr-Brown Corporation, an international leader in analogue integrated circuits and related products and now part of Texas Instruments, Inc.

Dataforth operates under an ISO9001:2008 quality management system. Since their products are used in critical industrial data acquisition, control, and test and measurement applications, they strive to produce the highest quality, premier performance products available on the market with zero defects and complete customer satisfaction. Automated manufacturing techniques and machines are employed to produce  state-of-the-art SMT designs. All products are tested multiple times in automated test fixtures, and many undergo a 48-hour burn-in at elevated temperatures. To further strengthen their commitment to quality, Dataforth secures certifications such as UL, CSA, ATEX, and CE.

Assured systems are an official distributor for Dataforth in both the UK & USA. Our sales and engineering team are highly trained in the application of Dataforth’s precision products for industrial markets. Liaising with Dataforth’s application engineers we are ready to solve any in-depth application questions.

Dataforth: Signal Conditioning

     

Dataforth design and manufacture the industry’s largest selection of signal conditioning which protect valuable measurements, control signals and equipment from the dangerous and degrading effects of noise, transient power surges, internal ground loops, and other hazards present in industrial environments.

Analogue inputs include voltage, current, thermocouple, RTD, accelerometer, potentiometer, strain gauge, frequency, and 2-wire transmitter. These analogue input modules filter, isolate, amplify and convert the input signal to a high-quality output signal which can be accurately measured by the data acquisition and control system. Analogue output modules accept high-quality signals from the control system then buffer, isolate, amplify and convert the signal into either process current or voltage for the field devices to be controlled. Available in various form factors, the most popular Dataforth signal conditioning modules are SCM5B, SCM7B, 8B and DSCA DIN mount form factors.

Dataforth design their signal conditioners to have a wide operating temperature of -40°c to +85°c and are also suitable for use in locations where there is presence of a flammable element such as vapours, gases or dust with being ATEX compliant or pending.

Dataforth: Custom Designed Solutions

Your inputs, outputs, bandwidth and other key parameters.

If your demands haven’t already been satisfied by Dataforth’s large selection of signal conditioners their design department is composed of advanced degree engineers specializing in innovative analogue and isolation circuit development, high performance mixed signal design, and software development, ensuring our customers of the highest performance products at the lowest price. Input modules can be designed to interface to all types of external sensors, then filter, isolate, amplify, and convert these input signals to high-level analogue voltage outputs with your specification in mind.

Dataforth: Data Acquisition

Dataforth's powerful, high performance, highly flexible MAQ20 data acquisition system offers the industry's lowest cost per channel, integral PID loop control, and ±0.035% system accuracy (module dependent). It is ideal for test and measurement, factory and process automation, machine automation, military and aerospace, power and energy, environmental monitoring, and oil and gas applications. The MAQ20 family consists of DIN rail mounted, programmable, multi-channel, industrially rugged signal conditioning input and output modules and communications modules. Each I/O module has a 1500Vrms isolation barrier between field-side and system-side wiring, and many models offer per-channel isolation. All field wiring terminals are heavily protected against overload, accidental connection of incorrect signals, and ESD. The modules mount on the industry standard 35x7.5mm gull-wing DIN rail. A backbone mounts within the rail providing power and communication interconnections between the communications modules and each I/O module.
