data acquisition network and control system. You can remotely control up to 256
NuDAM modules on RS-485 netowrk. All you need is to use a host computer,

host computer.

NuDAM is based on the RS-485 multi-drop network system, each module has an
unique address ID. Using simple ASCII command & response protocol through
standard RS-485 interface can control all the NuDAM modules in the RS-485
network.

The NuDAM modules provide direct linkage to a wide variety of sensors and
perform all signal conditioning, scaling, linearization and conversion. The
modules can be used to measure temperature, pressure, flow, voltage, current
and numerous types of digital signals.
