DS-NET modules

  • Measure anything

    DS-NET modules are available for almost any type of input and output signals. Measure voltage, resistance, current, thermocouple, frequency, counter, pulse width, time, status and the list go on... See the detailed module specification below.

  • Reliability

    These modules are intelligent and contain all the setup data that you can easily define within our award winning DEWESoft 7 software for maximum reliability and deterministic control. Basic calculations like minima, maxima, data reduction and filtering are done directly inside each module.

  • Hot swap capability

    All DS-NET modules are hot swappable with auto-loading configurations and addressing, making system scalability and serviceability extremely efficient and effective.

DS NET system

8 module DS NET system with standard DSUB9, BNC and 10pin screw connector modules. Systems can be configured in many ways just by adding or replacing existing modules. Standard T/C thermocouple connector module is also available.

DS NET modularity and hot swap capability

Our break-trough design allows you to quickly replace modules during measurement without pre-programming. Setup is loaded from the module's backplane.
