Re: Cost effective solution for monitoring a large number of temperatures

[Bernhard Kuner <bernhard.kuner@bessy.de>]

Here with BESSY we ar going to install an version of our ADA-Card that 
offers in the VME-Bus version 32 temperature channels for PT100 sensors. 
This Card is delivered by EuKontrol and is about 2500 EUR, that means 78 
EUR/channel. We use here the 3HE-Version with 16 channels per card and 
controlled via our embedded controler and the CAN-Bus. There is device 
support for EPICS available. A good feature is that this card uses the 
same long time stable integrating AD converter as all our ADA-Cards and 
so it is best suited in noisy environment with long cables to the 
sensor. I want to mention it because we had some trouble with that before.
