CAN MiniModules

Distributed measurements in test drives or test benches place high demands on the measurement technology. Modules are hereby required that are compact, robust, reliable and easy to use. CSM meets all these requirements with its long-term proven CAN MiniModule series.

Thanks to the minimized size with protection class IP65/67, CSM CAN MiniModules can be directly mounted in the engine compartments of vehicles and as such close to the points of measurement. In the case of test bench applications, they can be installed on pallets and transferred with the DUT to the test bench. Consequently, the measurement setup can as such be pre-configured and tested. This reduces the setup time for test benches, thus minimizing downtimes.

These measurement modules are extremely easy to use. They can be universally applied, for example in measurement applications in the power train, HVAC components, various component tests, electric/electronics, benchmarking etc. CSM measurement modules are also very well suited for comprehensive and long-term fleet tests.

The following physical parameters can be measured:

• Temperature (Type K / J / T thermocouples and PT100 / PT1000 sensors)
• Voltage
• Pressure
• Current
• Acceleration (incl. ICP)
• Strain
• Distance
• Frequency, period, PWM, revolution, pulse duration, event counting, time offset
• etc.

The configuration of measurement modules of the CSM MiniModule family is done via the configuration tool CSMconfig or a CANopen master. Users of ETAS INCA appreciate the CSM INCA AddOn CAN through which the modules can be fully integrated in INCA.
