Data Acquisition – term was originated during early industrial period while electronic field was consolidating with latest products like ICs & processors. Earlier all machineries were monitored by humans. With comming out of more & more sophisticated electronic components, technologies started developing to monitor & control machines.

The monitoring on machines required observing many parameters like Temperature, pressure, current, voltage, power, humidity etc. Based upon the data gathered, the electronic system, tried to control machines as per set rules.

The gathering of data related to various parameters – acquiring of data became a comman function for almost all controlling systems. This was known as Data Acquisition. Data Acquisition simply means a process whereby data is automatically acquired about real world parameters like Temperature , pressure, humidity, etc through various sensors.

U452 is a very compact card having latest microcontroller on board along with other electronic components like 4 cube relays, USB B type connector, Power supply connector, LEDs etc.

U452 has got up to 16 Digital Inputs & Outputs. These are brought out with 2 Birg Strip Connectors. Each digital pin can be made Output or Input on the fly.

Digital outputs can be used for many purposes like driving LEDs, driving Transistors to switch high current loads, driving Opto Isolators, driving other ICs inputs like L298 for operating DC Motors or Stepper Motors. While digital input pins can be utilized for monitoring any parameters which can be converted in 0 or 1. That is on or off or High & Low or 0V or +5V. For example these pins can monitor if any door is closed or not using simple press to on switch or Reed Relay switch. Input pin can also be monitored and used as Digital Counter. You can also monitor various sensors like Vibration Sensors, PIR sensors, Magnetic Sensors and turn U452 – Data Acquisition Card into sophisticated Home Alarm System.
