Dataplex Research & Development
 R&D
capabilities
Dataplex has capability in Industrial Electronics;
Data Communications and Telecommunications, from a product design,
approvals, manufacturing, installation and maintenance basis, it
has produced and successfully sold many of it’s products both
domestically and internationally, with many of its products still
in operation for as long as 17 years.
Dataplex has provided consulting services over
that time to many companies in area's of design, manufacturing expertise,
product safety and Telecom/Austel/ACA approvals as well as gaining
many overseas approvals for Australian developed Data and Telecommunications
products for many clients.
With its current team of R&D engineers,
Dataplex has the experience in producing such devices as:
- Battery Charging (NiMh, Li-Ion)

Technical
capabilities
Dataplex engineers provide technical and engineering support
all for Dataplex & ATL Systems. Our services include engineering
analysis and studies, design, production and field engineering,
test and evaluation, support and configuration, program and technical
data management.
Setting
the specifications
Dataplex R&D helps the customer specify the requirements for
the Product/System Requirements Specification of the electronics
system, which involves the following:
- Functional Requirements
- Environmental Requirements
- Mechanical Requirements
- Certification Requirements
- Reliability Requirements (and how are they
to be determined)
Involves the generation and approval of
two deliverables
- Product Design Specification (or Design
Concept)
- Product Development Plan - based on the
design concept.
Electronics
design
Dataplex R&D designs all of the electronics required
to fulfill the specifications, including analog, digital and programmable
devices (usually a single Gate Array device).
FPGA layout
Dataplex R&D places, routes and optimizes the user programmable
devices (Gate Arrays)
Simulation
Parts or all of the design, depending on complexity of the specific
design (more complex implies more simulation), are simulated to
shorten the overall development time.
PCB layout
Dataplex R&D places and routes the PCB (printed circuit board),
with dedicated attention to all the critical lines and devices.
Software
testing program
Dataplex R&D programs specific testing software to activate
and test each gate/transistor in the design, assuring that all possible
failures will be detected.
Prototyping
Dataplex R&D assembles prototypes and fully tests them
to the extremes to assure that the specifications are fulfilled.
Integration
Dataplex R&D helps the customer to integrate the developed
electronics into its whole system (possibly utilizing mechanics,
software or other technologies).
