Modular Amplifier simplifies industrial automation tasks.
Press Release Summary:
Using interference-proof, stable measurement techniques, digiCLIP products enable carrier frequency modules to measure quantities such as force, strain, torque, and pressure. Up to 99 units can be clipped together, each with internal DSP that computes and combines measurement signals within milliseconds. Capable of self-monitoring signal conditioning, products are based on modular amplifier system that uses TEDS technology so users can adapt different sensors.
Original Press Release:
Modular Amplifier Makes Industrial Automation Easy
HBM has simplified industrial automation tasks with the launch of the digiCLIP product family that can also be used to monitor manufacturing processes such as in automotive industries, textile machines, printing machinery, or energy recovery installations.
DigiCLIP enables the carrier frequency modules to measure quantities such as force, strain, torque, and pressure easily, accurately and with high reliability by using interference-proof and stable measurement techniques.
A maximum of 99 digiCLIP modules can be combined by just clipping them together.
DigiCLIP has an internal digital signal processor (DSP) to compute and combine measurement signals within milliseconds providing practical parameters such as limit and instantaneous values or peak values.
This powerful, self-monitoring signal conditioning reduces reliance on connected automation systems further simplifying accurate measurement.
DigiCLIP is based on an innovative, modular amplifier system that uses TEDS technology so that users can adapt different sensors easily and quickly. Each module features "Plug and Measure" so that measurements can be taken immediately once the module address has been set.
A graphical user interface that easily sets up individual modules is achieved using the free set-up software provided with every digiCLIP.
A distributed system can be easily implemented as each digiCLIP module uses a CANbus or ProfibusDP interface. All conditioned signals and functions are transmitted via these universal standard interfaces for further processing.
