HV Breakout Modules

HV Breakout Modules (HV BM) measure current, voltage and power in high-voltage lines safely and precisely.

• Synchronous measurement of single- or three-phase high voltage voltages and currents with up to 1 MHz data rate
• Direct measurements in the HV voltage-carrying cable increases the measurement accuracy
• Data transmission via EtherCAT® and CAN for parallel analysis and data logging

With the special types /S and +S, the HV BM can be used to simultaneously measure inner conductor and shield currents efficiently and reliably.

HV BM Split evo

The HV BM Split evo are used in applications where there is not enough space to install HV Breakout Modules. They offer similar technical features as the HV Breakout Modules, but have a different design. For flexible installation, the components of the HV Breakout Modules have been separated:

• Breakout boxes for the acquisition of current and voltage tapping
• Measurement module for data acquisition, filtering and data transmission
• Connection of sensor and measurement modules with HV-safe sensor cables

XCP Measurement Modules

The analysis of high-frequency and very dynamic processes requires very high data rates for the measurements. The XCP measurement modules allow data rates of up to 4 MHz per channel and output the measured values directly via XCP-on-Ethernet. With various additional options, further CSM CAN and EtherCAT® measurement modules can be connected and synchronized directly to the XCP measurement modules.

• Current, voltage and power meaurement in HV power cables: HV Breakout Modules 3.3, 3.3C
• Voltage measurement in HV environments: HV AD XCP Measurement Modules ±1,000 V

ECAT Measurement Modules

EtherCAT®-based measurement modules are used for measurement applications whose requirements exceed the capabilities of the CAN bus. Due to a high bandwidth, a large number of channels to be used and exact synchronicity of the measurement data, ECAT measurement modules are well suited for precise analyses of fast processes.

• Strain measurements with strain gauges: EtherCAT® STG MiniModules
• Acquisition of acceleration, force or pressure with IEPE sensors: AD4 ECAT MiniModule Series Type OE / IE
• Measurement of voltage, moisture, pressure and much more with standard sensors: AD4 ECAT MiniModule Series Type OG / IG
• Hall-effect based measurement of currents: LEM sensor packages

Here you can find more information about fast synchronous measurement with EtherCAT®.

HV ECAT Measurement Modules

The acquisition of highly dynamic processes requires fast measurement technology, even while guaranteeing high-voltage safety. For such applications we offer special measurement modules for different sensors and the acquisition of different physical values:

• Strain measurements with strain gauges: HV STG Measurement Modules
• Measurement of acceleration, force or pressure with IEPE sensors: HV IEPE Measurement Modules
• Measurement of voltage, moisture, pressure and much more with standard sensors: HV AD ECAT Measurement Modules ±1000 V and HV AD ECAT Measurement Modules ±90 V

With the Distributed Clock functionality, the synchronization (≤ 1 μs) of all connected measurement modules is guaranteed independent of the size of the measuring setup and precise analyses become possible.

CAN Measurement Modules

The CSM CAN MiniModules have been used for years in decentralized measurements in road tests and test benches. They impress with their compact and robust design, which allows them to be installed close to the measurement point.

• Strain measurements with strain gauges: STG MiniModules
• Temperature measurements with thermocouples: TH MiniModules
• Temperature measurements with PT sensors: PT MiniModules
• Measurement of voltage, moisture, pressure and much more with standard sensors: AD MiniModules
• Frequencies, periods, PWM and other digital signals: CNT evo MM Series

HV CAN Measurement Modules

Proven CAN measurement technology is also used in the high-voltage environment and allows easy to implement and reliable measurements.

• Temperature measurements with up to 512 temperature sensors: HV DTemp Measurement System
• Temperature measurements with thermocouples: HV TH Measurement Modules
• Temperature measurements with PT sensors: HV PT Measurement Modules
• Measurement of voltage, moisture, pressure and much more with standard sensors: HV AD CAN Measurement Modules ±1000 V and HV AD CAN Measurement Modules ±90 V

CANape log / vMeasure log with Vector VP Smart-Loggers

CANape log and vMeasure log are high-performance and easy-to-use software solutions for recording large amounts of data from different sources (CAN, CAN FD, FlexRay, LIN and Ethernet). Both software packages offer the same functions as CANape and vMeasure and also include the eMobilityAnalyzer. Thus, calculations can already be executed during data recording and the results can be used as triggers.

As hardware, Vector Smart Loggers of the VP family are used. With high recording rates and their robust design, they are ideally suited for mobile use. They allow the continuous recording of measurement data rates up to 1 GByte/s and offer numerous interfaces.

Vector VN Network Interfaces

Vector VN Network Interfaces are used if data from vehicle buses must be compared with the measurement data from the measurement modules. They collect data from different bus systems:

• CAN (FD)
• LIN
• J1708
• Ethernet
• Flexray
• 802.11p
• GNSS

Thanks to the system-wide PTP (Precision Time Protocol), data from the vehicle buses are recorded synchronously with the data of the measurement modules and correlated exactly.

Vector VX Interfaces

The VX Interfaces from Vector Informatik are suitable for acquiring data from vehicle ECUs and calibrating the ECUs. The interfaces allow high-performance measurement, adjustment, bypassing and flashing of ECUs via the standardized XCP-on-Ethernet interface.

Thanks to PTP time synchronization, data from ECUs is acquired synchronously with measurement data from the measurement modules.

Data Logger UniCAN 3

Data Loggers of the UniCAN family extend the E-Mobility measurement system by another possibility to record data during the measurement.

The data loggers are well suited for all challenges in mobile use: They are extremely robustly designed and offer great flexibility for recording data from different sources and remote transmission due to numerous options. With its compact design the UniCAN 3 ETH and UniCAN 3 are ideal for use in fleet testing.

• Ethernet interface (UnICAN 3 ETH)
• Up to twelve CAN interfaces (optionally galvanically isolated)
• Optional: Support of CAN FD for all interfaces
• Four digital I/O interfaces
• Exchangeable CF card
• Optional data transmission via LTE modem and WLAN module

With the LTE modem and the WLAN module, the data can be transmitted parallel to the recording and evaluated spatially separated. The logger configuration can also be changed wirelessly. This allows for flexible access to the recorded data.
