INSTALLATION OF INTELLIGENT SENSORS FOR THE HIGH-SPEED ACQUISITION OF DATA VIA AN ETHERNET NETWORK

摘要

The invention relates to an installation for the high-speed acquisition of data via an Ethernet network (2) comprising a plurality of nodes (N), at least one of the nodes of the ethernet network forming a client/server detection unit (3) provided with at least one sensor (4) for supplying acquisition data. According to the invention, each detection unit (3) comprises: self-triggering means for reading acquisition data such that the detection unit (3) can function autonomously; reading and treatment means that are independent of the other nodes; means for transmitting the acquisition data via the network (2) to at least one other node (N); and a clock unit for correlating the clocks of the detection units, each clock unit comprising means for receiving a synchronisation clock signal, means for transmitting to the emitting clock unit, and means for treating encoded instructions.
