At Metromatics, we’re thrilled to share the newest enhancements to the Dewesoft X-Line product family. Including both SIRIUS-X and IOLITE-X systems. As the exclusive regional distributor, we’re excited to bring these advanced updates to your demanding measurement needs.
1. New High-Precision Strain Gauge (STGS) Modules
- SIRIUS-X-16xSTGS and IOLITE-X-8xSTGS now available.
- 8 and 16 channel options support full, half, and quarter bridge configurations.
- Automatic lead-wire compensation handles cabling up to 100 m.
- 24-bit sigma-delta ADCs up to 50 kS/s for low-noise, high-resolution performance.
- Software-programmable excitation and built-in 100 kΩ shunt calibration.
- Offers flexible connector options: DSUB37, DSUB9, or terminal block, plus synchronization via GLAN, active PoE, and PTPv2.
These modules are ideal for high-stakes industrial and research applications—like structural testing or material analysis—where accuracy and stability are critical.
2. New DB9 Connector Option for SIRIUS-X-16xLVe

- Now available with a DSUB9 connector, offering enhanced compatibility with DSI adapters.
- Features bipolar excitation, 16 analog inputs, 24-bit resolution, and up to 200 kS/s per channel.
- This flexibility allows measurement of virtually any physical quantity using the right adapter.
3. Enhanced Power Safety: Keyed Connectors
- New PS-XXW-56V power supply includes uniquely keyed Lemo connectors, compatible only with SIRIUS-X PWR IN ports.
- This prevents accidental misuse with non-rated devices up to 56 V.
- Meanwhile, existing 2-pin Lemo power supplies remain fully compatible.
4. Additional Integrated CAN-FD Channel
- SIRIUS-X units now feature a second built-in CAN (CAN-FD) port, providing enhanced communications flexibility.
- These dual ports follow the familiar pinout used in OBSIDIAN devices.
Why This Matters for Applications
- Versatility & Precision: The STGS modules and DSI adapter compatibility support varied sensor types—ideal for diverse measurement requirements in civil, automotive, and engineering sectors.
- Safety & Peace of Mind: The new power connector design enhances protection across mixed-device setups.
- Enhanced Connectivity: Dual CAN-FD and networked synchronization streamline integration into complex systems.
