• Synchronization: The system must provide synchronization accuracy of less than 200 ns within the same EtherCAT chain and less than 2 µs across multiple chains.

• Power Supply: Modules should operate on a DC input range of 9–48 V. Redundant power supply configurations should be available for critical applications.

• Environmental Durability: Modules must operate within a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C, with storage capabilities from -20°C to 60°C. An IP20 rating is acceptable for dust protection.

• Software: The system must include DAQ software, providing real-time data acquisition, visualization, and analysis capabilities. The software should support Industry 4.0 standards, including OPC UA and XCP interfaces for integration with SCADA systems.

o Unlimited license seats, lifetime free updates, no yearly maintenance fee o Software shall not require any programming to set up and operate basic tests o Software shall not require internet access to function. Offline installation and operation shall be supported.

o Software shall be compatible with a customer supplied computer o Data-recording functions: Real-time View, Continuous, Multiple Data Rates, Triggered Burst (High Data Rate) o Data-processing functions to include Peak-valley, FFT, Filtering, Statistics, Math Calculation and Custom Formulas, Shock Response Spectra, Fatigue Analysis, and Trend Monitoring o Compatible with 3rd party data sources

Industrial Bus Communication: Ethernet, CANbus, Modbus, Serial o Software shall be OpenDAQ compatible o Software shall be capable of advanced recording, storage, input, and output routines with scripts and/or programming o Software shall be capable of distributed data acquisition sources o Software shall be capable with interfacing with multiple client computer simultaneously o Software shall be capable of streaming data at rates exceeding 500 MB/s, ensuring efficient handling of large datasets.

• Data Storage: The software must support time-series data storage and retrieval, ensuring data integrity and accessibility for analysis.

• Data Integrity: The system must ensure continuous data acquisition without loss of samples, even during high-speed measurements.

• Feedback Monitoring: The system should allow monitoring of both input and output signals, enabling verification of control system performance in real-time.

• Customizable Visual Displays: Displays, such as oscilloscopes, FFT analyzers, 3D graphs, and gauges, which are fully customizable for real-time data visualization.

• Reporting Tools: Enable creation of detailed PDF and Microsoft Word reports, incorporating real-time data visualizations and customizable layouts.
