Minimize the Costs of Replacing Aging Hardware

iConnect ReNew is a convenient cost-effective replacement for the aging A&D RedLine and BaseLine hardware.  Due to component obsolescence, these older hardware systems are becoming more and more difficult to support, and will eventually be nearly impossible to service in case of a failure.

iConnect ReNew incorporates the distributed I/O found in our latest hardware offerings, and packages it as a pin-for-pin replacement for our RedLine and BaseLine systems.  We also include an upgrade to ADAPT 5/0, the latest version of our most popular data acquisition and control software.  Your existing tests, while they may have been created in an earlier version (4.3 and later), are still fully compatible.  We also provide a conversion tool for re-addressing signals to iConnect ReNew.

The upgrade package includes:

  • The iConnect ReNew chassis
  • A rackmount PC as an RTP replacement
  • A software upgrade to ADAPT 5.0, including driver options
  • One year of software maintenance
  • Six serial ports
  • Ethernet hub and cables

Benefits

  • ADAPT tests and ABLE code can be reused
  • Software conversion involves only the readdressing of signals
  • Cell downtime averages less than one week
  • Totals costs are about 50% of installing a completely new system
  • New RTP is PC-based with the latest technology option
    • 2 Gb of system memory - supports large history buffer and large data tables
    • 2 GHz processor - supports larger tests with deterministic cycle times
    • The change is transparent to the operator, who requires no additional training
  • ADAPT 5.0 is compatible with older hardware sets, allowing for scheduled upgrades across multiple cells
  • Easy serviceability

Supports the following RedLine I/O boards

  • 2033 - (32) analog input channels
  • 2916 - (16) digital input  and (16) digital output channels,  (6) frequency, tachometer loss and over/under speed detection
  • 3008 - Eight (8) analog output channels
  • Six (6) serial ports includes Pendant support

ADAPT operator PC requirements

  • Windows XPpro sp3
  • 1 Gb system memory
