Fast and synchronous measurements 
Fast and synchronous measurements
The high-speed ECAT measurement modules for IEPE sensors enable the acquisition of analog voltages with data rates of up to 100 kHz.
The AD4 IE100 features a galvanically isolated sensor excitation up to 24 V and a measurement range from ±1 V to ±20 V. This makes that module ideally suited for measurement tasks making use of high-frequency IEPE acceleration sensors and microphones.
AD4 OE100 is provided with a measurement range from ±5 V to ±90 V and an isolated sensor supply with up to 24 V supply voltage.
The modules are operated via the Ethernet/EtherCAT® protocol converter XCP-Gateway in conjunction with XCP-enabled data acquisition software. Measurement data rates > 10 kHz per channel are supported by vMeasure, CANape and in INCA via the add-on CSM INCA AddOn ETH. Alternatively, the modules can be operated by using a standard EtherCAT® master via CANopen over EtherCAT® (CoE) with measurement data rates up to 10 kHz.
Type AD4 pro, Type IG100 | IG1000 and Type OG10 | OG100 | OG1000
Designed for the acquisition of fast analog signals in distributed measurements applied in the fields of automotive measurement technology. High-precision bipolar sensor excitation allows the use of a wide range of standard sensors.
XCP-Gateway is the interface between the data acquisition software (e. g. vMeasure, CANape®, INCA®, Vision® ...) and the EtherCAT® measurement modules from CSM. It includes an EtherCAT® master and an XCP-on-Ethernet slave.
Numerous measurement variables in vehicle development and testing can be recorded with sensors that reproduce their respective measured variable as an analog voltage. For example, distance, pressure, flow rates, moisture, vibration and noise can be easily measured.
The number of electrical and electronic components in vehicles is constantly increasing. For an efficient design of vehicle electronics and electrics and the development of the vehicle electrical system, precise measurement of currents and voltages as well as power and energy consumption is therefore necessary.
