By concatenating multiple sensing elements, it is possible to monitor the structure in a multi-D space-time environment. We can track in real time the structure deformations together with other significant parameters such as temperature or pressure.
Photonic Control Unit
The PCU is the FSI interrogator. PCUs are highly configurable based on customer inputs and specific requirements, the most important parameters are customizable:
- Number of parallel measurement channels
- Number of sensors per channel
- Sensor bandwidth (from 1 Hz to 1 MHz, independently of the number of sensors)
- Data acquisition interface
- Mechanical tests and environmental certifications
- Communication ports (USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi)
