Description
Flexible and Expandable
The ADwin-PRO-II Modular Real-Time Data Acquisition System is the successor of ADwin- Pro product family. The new T12 processor provides much faster operation and transmits data 10 times faster with the new Pro II bus. The PRO-II backplane support both the new Pro II I/O modules and the older Pro I modules.
- Pro-II systems offer the new T12 processor module which uses the Dual-Core ARM Cortex-A9. With 1 GHz clock speed and 1 GB of internal memory for program and data, the PRO-II’s processing power over 4x previous models. In addition, the processor’s 64-bit internal calculation enables double precision floating-point calculations.
- The T12’s accelerated Ethernet interface enables high-speed data transmission to the PC at more than 1 Gb/s.
- The bus bandwidth of up to 200 MByte/s significantly increases the capacity of the internal traffic between the processor module and the new Pro-II output modules.
The ADwin-PRO-II Modular Real-Time Data Acquisition System is Compatible
For all its superior performance the ADwin Pro-II remains compatible. On the backplane, both the new Pro-II and the present Pro-I bus work side by side so that all the existing input and output modules can be used.
The data exchange with the PC is fully compatible to work with all the interfaces (for VB, Matlab, etc.) as usual. Valuable ADbasic source code can be reused after just a few changes to the tried and tested algorithms which also benefit from the PRO-II’s higher processor speed.
Real-Time for Complex Applications
The new Pro-II system’s extraordinary speed enables applications demanding a high data rate. In addition, the fast T12 processor allows an intelligent pre-selection of relevant data, mathematical functions or digital channel filtering.
All new Pro-II modules run on the Pro II bus automatically sync. This allows fully-synchronized time measurements from multiple modules without any special software effort.

Software
ADwin operation with the PC
ADwin software
Multiple PCs can communicate with one ADwin system concurrently. This may be useful during the program implementation and comissioning. On the other hand, one PC can also access multiple ADwin systems e.g. in a network for a centralized monitoring of various applications.
While working with ADwin, the first step is always to download the real-time operating system to the ADwin system via the Ethernet or USB interface. Then, the ADbasic real-time processes can be loaded and started or stopped as required. Single values or whole data sets (arrays), e.g. measured or set-point values can be exchanged bi-directionally. The deterministic (exact and predictable in time) execution of the real-time processes is not affected by the communcation between ADwin and the PC.
Real-time development with ADbasic and ADtools
With ADbasic, you define the processing sequences that are executed on the ADwin hardware. ADbasic optimizes and compiles the program code on a mouse-click. After being loaded on the ADwin system by ADbasic or a graphical PC user interface, the real-time processes execute independently. ADbasic contains the functions to access all inputs and outputs as well as functions for floating-point operations, process control and communication with the PC. A library is provided which contains standard functions e.g. for filtering, various examples for counter use, closed-loop controllers, function generators etc. which leads to a faster program implementation.
By means of the easily configurable ADtools you are able to display your real-time data graphically or numerically, to visualize process sequencings or to set input values via potentiometers, sliders or push buttons. Additionally, ADtools always provide you with the current status of your ADwin system resources.
