MARPOSS GP-16 8668A01712: 16-Channel Digital Gauging Interface
Product Overview
TheMARPOSS MEANWELL Gage Pod IO Module GP-16(DAQ Code 8668A01712)is a sophisticated,multi-channel data acquisition module that serves as a central interface between a large number of Marposs electronic gauge heads(LVDT sensors)and a supervisory system like a PLC or PC.The”GP-16″designation indicates it can handle up to16 independent measurement channels.By leveraging the robust industrial power supply and hardware platform from MEANWELL,this module provides a reliable and compact solution for high-density measurement applications.
Its core function is to digitize the analog signals from up to 16 analog gauge heads simultaneously,significantly simplifying the wiring and integration complexity compared to using individual amplifiers for each sensor.TheGP-16communicates with the host computer via a high-speed digital interface(such as Ethernet TCP/IP,PROFINET,or EtherCAT),transmitting the precise dimensional readings for each channel.The DAQ code8668A01712specifies the exact configuration,including the communication protocol and firmware version.The value of theMARPOSS GP-16lies in its ability to create a distributed,networked measurement architecture,which is essential for complex automated inspection stations in high-volume manufacturing,where space is limited and data integrity is paramount.

Main Features and Advantages
TheMARPOSS MEANWELL GP-16 8668A01712offers several key advantages for modern automated measurement.Its primary feature ishigh channel density and system simplification.A singleGP-16module replaces multiple individual signal conditioners,drastically reducing cabinet space,wiring complexity,and potential failure points.This leads to a cleaner,more reliable,and easier-to-maintain system.
A significant advantage is itsdigital communication and network integration.By transmitting data over a standard industrial network(like EtherCAT or PROFINET),it enables real-time,high-speed data transfer to the controller,which is crucial for fast cycle times and closed-loop process control.This digital backbone also provides excellent noise immunity over long distances.Furthermore,theMARPOSS GP-16boastsadvanced configuration and diagnostics.It can be configured via software to set scaling,filtering,and limit checking for each channel.Module and channel status indicators facilitate quick troubleshooting.The collaboration withMEANWELLensures a robust and stable power supply foundation,critical for the accuracy of the analog-to-digital conversion.
Application Field
TheMARPOSS GP-16 Gage Podis designed for high-volume manufacturing applications requiring multi-point simultaneous inspection.In theautomotive industry,it is used in end-of-line test stations to measure multiple critical dimensions on engine blocks,cylinder heads,or transmission cases all at once.
In thebearing industry,it is ideal for checking various diameters,widths,and runouts on bearing rings in a single fixture.It is also extensively used in theproduction of pumps,compressors,and hydraulic components,where complex parts require several features to be verified simultaneously.Essentially,any application involving an automated gauging station with multiple sensors,where data needs to be acquired,processed,and acted upon quickly and reliably,is the perfect scenario for theMARPOSS MEANWELL GP-16 8668A01712module.
