Conceptual Design of a Measurement- and Data Acquisition System

Within the framework of a project and organizational unit which formed in the near past, the authors were faced with a task for developing a universal test system. The system to be developed needs to have the ability to acquire data and measure different parameters which depend on the customers’ individual requirements. For this purpose, the test system has to be easily configurable and in terms of data acquisition it should follow the requirements of Industry 4.0. This article focuses on the tasks and requirements of the development, the possible devices and architectures for implementing the control system and the technical analysis methods for choosing the appropriate solution.
