The NetScanner™ System is a comprehensive, distributed data acquisition system centered around PSI’s proven Intelligent Pressure Scanner technology. The rackmount configuration of this system is comprised of Model 98RK-1 Scanner Interface Racks, each housing up to eight

(8)Model 9816 Rackmount Intelligent Pressure Scanners networked via the Ethernet interface. The 98RK-1 chassis provides communication, power supply and pneumatic connections to the 9816 scanners. The 98RK-1 utilizes an integral gigabit switch to connect all scanners to a host computer. Each 98RK-1 can also provide power and communication to as many as three (3) remotely connected NetScanner modules such as the Model 9116 Pneumatic Intelligent Pressure Scanners, Model 9022 All-Media Intelligent Pressure Scanners, Model 9046 Intelligent Temperature Scanners, and Model 903x Pressure Controllers. Refer to their respective datasheets for more information on these NetScanner System components. A typical system configuration is shown in Figure 1.2.

Each Model 9816 Rackmount Intelligent Pressure Scanner module integrates sixteen (16) silicon piezoresistive pressure sensors and a unique patented calibration manifold with an onboard

32-bit microprocessor. This provides compensated engineering unit (EU) data output via

the Ethernet interface. Each pressure sensor is packaged with an integral EEPROM for storage of calibration data unique to the sensor. Integrating the EEPROM within the sensor enables simple ‘plug and play’ field replacement of transducers with automatic uploading of sensor data during system power-up.
