Description

The 6042 Control Processor with analog and digital outputs adds real time processing and control operations to the Series 6000 data acquisition systems. It is appropriate for PID control loops including fast decisions such as test shutdown due to limit violations, frequency analysis, waveform generation, derived parameter calculation and a variety of other real-time, facility dependent operations.

Data from all measurement channels in the enclosure are automatically available in real time as inputs to control or processing algorithms. A Texas Instruments TMS320C6711 floating point digital signal processor with 32 or 64 Megabytes program and data memory runs the built-in or user programmed algorithms. The 6042 provides eight 16-bit DAC outputs, 15 digital outputs and five digital inputs that can be used as interrupts for appliction control. A daughter board increases the number of analog and digital control outputs.

The 6042 lends itself to custom applications. Programming tools enable the user to design custom algorithms for data acquisition, processing and control. It has a built-in IEEE-1145.1 (JTAG) port for debugging and testing user developed algorithms on the 6042 itself. A Buffered Serial Port (McBSP) is provided for higher-speed application program loading and loading of large waveform files.
