IFD7 Description

IFD7 Interface Unit
IFD7 Interface Consoleenlarge

For use with recently introduced capture FM50 Series
The interface between the Capture MkII pump units and the user’s computer is provided by the Armfield IFD7 Interface device. This conditions the raw data from the sensors, digitises the data and transfers it to the computer using the USB interface.

 

It also includes a sophisticated 3 phase inverter for providing accurate motor speed control, and a second motor drive output, all under software control.

IFD7 Ordering Specification

• A computer interface accessory for use with all Capture MkII FM fluid machines

• Connects to FM equipment sensors via a single multiway connector

• 3-phase mains output with variable frequency for accurate motor speed control

• Includes sensorless vector motor drive to measure motor torque

• Secondary mains output, switched under software controlServices Required

IFD7 Requirements

Electrical Supply:
IFD7-A: 220-240V/1/Phase, 50Hz, 10Amps
IFD7-B: 110-120V/1/Phase, 60Hz, 20Amps
IFD7-G: 220-240V/1/Phase, 60Hz, 10Amps

IFD6 INTERFACE DEVICE

IFD6 Description

IFD6 INTERFACE DEVICE
The IFD6 Interface Deviceenlarge

The interface between the Capture machine and the user’s computer is provided by the ARMFIELD IFD6 Interface Device. This digitises the analogue outputs from the equipment and tranfers the data to the computer via the USB port, thus eliminating any need to make hardware modifications to the computer. It also provides the power distribution and control for the Capture machines.

IFD6 Ordering Specification

• A computer interface accessory for use with FM Fluid Machines.
• Connects to FM equipment using PTC 'telephone' connectors.
• Connects to computer using USB cable.
• Contains two AC uotput sockets to provide power to FM equipment.
• Supplied with all required leads.

The IFD6 is essential for all Armfield Fluid Mechanics (FM) items
(excluding the new CAPTURE MKII Range).

USE:
IFD6-A: 220-240V systems
IFD6-B: 110V systems

(Note; the IFD6-B includes a transformer to provide 230V to the FM Demonstration Units)
