Siemens of Germany Launches New Modular Data Acquisition System

Siemens of Germany recently announced the launch of its new-generation modular data acquisition hardware, Simcenter SCADAS ES, targeting physical performance testing for automotive, aerospace, heavy machinery, and energy equipment. The system adopts a scalable modular architecture, with measurement channels expandable from a small number to thousands, supporting synchronized multi-physics acquisition in laboratory, field, and mobile test environments, and enabling remote device configuration, real-time monitoring, and multi-user collaborative operation via a browser.

en.Wedoany.com Reported - SCADAS ES features a stacked modular design, consisting of a power and network interface unit, signal conditioning modules, and a recording and processing unit. Users can configure different sensor interfaces and measurement channels according to test tasks and gradually expand the system on the basis of existing hardware. The device supports synchronized measurement of voltage, vibration, acoustics, rotational speed, and other physical signals, covering applications such as noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) testing, structural durability validation, electrified system testing, and road load data acquisition.

SCADAS ES is equipped with onboard acquisition functionality that requires no separate acquisition software license, allows browser-based access to the device, and enables multiple engineers to simultaneously carry out test configuration and data inspection. The system also supports use with Simcenter SCADAS Go, Simcenter Testlab Go, and Simcenter Testlab, applying measurement data directly to engineering analysis, simulation model validation, and digital twin verification. Product materials published by Siemens show that its modular configuration and parallel testing workflow can reduce test preparation and validation time by up to 50%.

SCADAS ES and SCADAS RS, which is designed for harsh outdoor environments, share a common modular technology foundation and support data acquisition across laboratory, field, and distributed test environments. Both systems support the Test Connect open interface, enabling transmission of measurement data to third-party analysis software so that users can develop test applications compatible with existing engineering software.
