Abstract: Based on National Instruments’ M-series data collection card, Signal Conditioning module, and Advantech IPC, a multi-function, multi-channel universal data collection system was developed. The software of the system employed Labview graphical programming language. Using opening configuration parameters, the universality of the system was greatly improved. The system exhibited characteristics of good interface, easy operation, and high measuring efficiency, as well as high measuring accuracy and good stability. It could be used to collect and monitor dynamic parameters of plastic injection molding machine.

Key words: Plastic injection mounding machine, Multi-Channel, Data acquisition system, Labview
