-
Compact Concentrator Board for the FERS-5200 platform — ideal for mid-scale detector systems such as SiPMs, MA-PMTs, Gas Tubes, and Silicon Detectors.
-
Supports up to 8 FERS units in daisy chain, enabling streamlined and cost-effective setups.
-
Simple synchronization: TDlink handles data, control, and timing over a single optical connection.
-
Perfect for prototyping and small-to-medium scale experiments with seamless upgrade path to full FERS-5200 networks.
-
8 TDlink version (DT5215) available: supports up to 128 FERS units in daisy chain for large-scale systems.
DT5216 is a compact FERS Data Concentrator featuring a single optical TDlink port, capable of managing up to 8 FERS units in daisy chain. When used with A5202 / A5203 boards, it provides up to 1024 readout channels. Data is transferred to the host computer via a high-speed USB 3.0 connection.
One computer, one Concentrator, thousands of channels
FERS-5200 is a modular and scalable system: the same FERS unit can be used in standalone mode or integrated into a larger readout network, enabling a smooth transition from prototyping to full deployment using the same interface and hardware.
At the heart of this scalability is the optical TDlink, which merges data acquisition, slow control, and timing synchronization into a single high-speed connection.
The DT5216 Concentrator features one TDlink and supports up to 8 FERS front-end units (A520x series) in daisy chain.
With the A5202/A5203 front-end modules (64 channels each), this setup can handle up to 512 channels with a single DT5216.
