Sierra CP is excited to announce that the first unit from our new production batch of DACS Units has recently been completed. This is a significant milestone for our team and a testament to the hard work and dedication of our designers, engineers, assembly, testing, purchasing and production departments.
For those who may not be familiar with DACS (Data Acquisition and Control System), it is our third-generation I/O system. You can now configure your core system with our I/O modules over a high-speed field-bus network and deploy additional DACS modules as required – If you need to change your channel mix? Just swap out the internal plug-in modules to reconfigure for the ones you need.
Our latest hardware generation is designed to meet your needs for a distributed i/o system. Each module is stand-alone but driven by decentralised clocks, so everything is perfectly synchronised. SCP employ a real-time EtherCAT network to provide this capability. Optimize test sequencing, data logging, control and user interface requirements when you couple your network with our advanced CADET Automation System.
Meet Matt Green, one of our Test Engineers, pictured here with one of the first units from our latest production batch of DACS.

This is our third-generation I/O system, known as DACS (Data Acquisition and Control System), which offers a high-speed field-bus network that enables you to configure your core system with our I/O modules. With DACS, you can easily deploy additional modules as needed, and if you need to change your channel mix, it’s as simple as swapping out the internal plug-in modules and reconfiguring them for the desired ones.
