3. Product description

3.1 In general

The Kistler DTI-Logger Type 5343A is a compact and

powerful data acquisition system for the applications of

vehicle dynamics, fatigue strength and tire tests based on

the standard DTI bus (Digital Transducer Interface).

The use of the DTI technology ensures an efcient and

fasttestsetup.Onlyasinglecableisneededforcongu-

ration of the sensors, the transmission and synchroniza-

tion of the measured data and for the power supply. An

automatic sensor detection using TEDS thus provides an

evensimplerconguration.

The DTI-Logger is based on DTI technology, which repre-

sents a universal bus system for the complete application.

Signals are digitized as needed and a DTI signal is con-

verted. This occurs directly in the Kistler DTI sensors or

– in the case of existing sensors – via corresponding DTI

Converter. Therefore, signals can easily be transferred via

the Kistler DTI Converter CAN into DTI signals.

Because the DTI-Logger also takes care of supplying

power to the connected DTI sensors, the required cabling

can be done substantially more easily and rationally so

that the installation of the measuring system can be done

moreefciently.Together with the daisy chain capability,

this approach enables decentralized data acquisition, in

which the signals can be digitized and converted directly

at the point of acquisition. The sensor data then ow in

a fail-safe manner into the central Kistler DTI-Logger

and are transferred via Ethernet into the computer and

recorded there.

The calibration values and the relevant physical variables

are automatically detected by the KiCenter (Kistler mea-

surement software). Moreover, the KiCenter permits the

congurationofallDTIsensorsthatarepartofthemea-

suring system. This guarantees maximum process safety

andefcientuseoftime.

The DTI-Logger has 8 physical ports (see Fig.), in each

case with 12 slots per port.

Eachslotisdesignedwithaxedsamplingfrequencyof

20 kHz (20,000 samples per second).

If an analog signal (via DiMod, see glossary, chapter 2.2,

page 6) is then connected to slot 1 having an internal

sampling frequency of 1 kHz, the complete slot (with

20 kHz) is assigned.

Because the DiMod always scans with 16 bit@20 kHz,

the requirement per analog signal is always 1 slot

= 16 bits = 2 bytes * 20 000 Hz = 40 000 byte/s ≙1 Slot

Digitally, this behaves somewhat differently. Because a

slot has room for data @20 kHz@16 bit, a slot can be

used (lled) more efcient digitally so that an S-Motion

> 20 signals occupies only 2 slots on a port. We have a

maximum data rate per port of 40 bytes/ms.

If the data quantity of all signals of an S-motion is

96 bytes, it is to be multiplied by the sampling frequency

(500 Hz @S-Motion).

Calculation:

96 bytes * 500 Hz = 48 000 bytes/s = 48 bytes/ms ≙ 2
