Description

Influx K-Box Multi-DAQ Module

Designed for accurate sensor measurement, with captured data being transmitted on the CAN Bus. The Multi-DAQ K-Box is ideal for applications that require a quick set-up and collection of thermocouples, analog, digital and PWM inputs. 

Stackable with all of our K-series instrumentation modules, the K-Box includes our unique power down and WakeOnCAN feature, enabling quick installation on long term unattended fleet test vehicles.

Accurate sensor measurement data is transmitted periodically on the CAN Bus enabling multiple K-Series modules to be connected together and data recorded via our CAN data loggers.

The K-Box CAN Bus settings, calibration and sampling rates are all easily configurable and stored even when not powered.

Key Features:

  • Up to 8 K-type connections at up to 20 Hz sampling rate
  • Software switchable voltage input ranges from +/-80V to +/-10V
  • 8 Analog inputs with variable input sampling rates (8 channels at 1k Hz, 4 channels at 5k Hz)
  • PWM: 3 inputs frequency measurements, counters or pulse measurements
  • Outputs: 4 Relay outputs (Optional)
  • Regulated +5V and +24V output power supply for external sensors
  • Supplied with configuration software, Influx K-Cal for Windows® and configurable via a DBC file
  • Instrumentation data time synchronized with recorded vehicle network data via CAN
  • Galvanic isolation between modules (enclosure, power, CAN BUS, analog input module and thermocouple input      module)
  • Measurement accuracy: +/- 1 degree C, Measurement resolution: 0.1 degree C
  • Analog channel over-voltage protection +/- 150 Volt
  • Stackable ABS enclosure
  • Supports PT100/1000 sensors via K-PT addon
  • Supports IEPE sensors via K-IEPE addon
  • Supports analog and digital BNC sensors via K-Bob add-on

Advantages

  • Combined Voltage, Thermocouple and P.W.M./Digital measurements
  • Cold junction compensation for accurate thermocouple measurement
  • High input impedance on Analogue inputs
  • WakeOnCAN and power down deep sleep mode

K-Box Kit

This K-Box Kit contains everything needed to get the K-Box set up and tested on a workbench. To help with connecting sensors to the analogue and digital ports, the K-BoB enables easy connection with BNC connectors. Influx K-Cal is easily connected via the Kvaser Leaflight interface and Kvaser T-connector. (Using the Kvaser T-connector to power up the K-Box (at the desk) and terminate the CAN bus).

This kit is supplied in the Influx carry case and is highly recommended for new K-Box users. Very easy to set up and test on a workbench. For example, when calibrating.

Influx’s versatile multi-DAQ K-Box Kit is a cost-effective solution to measure multiple sensor types within one module. Extremely easy to use and ideal for applications that measure inputs as temperatures, pressures, voltages, currents (using a current clamp), PWM, currents, RPM, digital such counters or IEPE sensors. Multiple K-Series modules can be stacked, connected and configured to work together. All K-Series instrumentation modules allow the measurement of signals and the periodic transmission of sensor measurement data on a CAN 2.0 network

Typical Applications

  • Vehicle testing with additional instrumentation requiring a wide range of sensors, for example, voltage, pressure, fuel flow, RPM, event counters, acceleration, temperature etc
  • Competitor bench testing (reverse engineering). Instrumentation combined with vehicle CAN data (collected via our Rebel/ReXgen data loggers)
  • Vehicle engineering component testing, (using K-series add on modules for IEPE and PT100/PT1000 sensors)

Software

K-CAL

K-CAL is a freely distributable Windows PC application that accompanies all the K-Series products from Influx. K-Cal software is specifically designed to ensure you harness the full potential of all the K-series devices with precision and convenience.

Effortlessly configure your connected K-Series device using our user-friendly application K-CAL, or explore data analysis with the dynamic live view function.

Influx K-Cal offers powerful features that enable you to set byte orders, adjust unit measurements, set baud rates, and optimise power consumption through configurable sleep modes.

K-CAL lets you do everything from the unified export of DBC files for post-processing to real-time data visualisation on the oscilloscope to saving and exporting that data from the oscilloscope.
