Reliable CAN Measurement Technology
CSM’s AD MiniModules of the AD CAN MM (MiniModule)-Series offer a wide range of applications for measuring analogue signals (voltage, current, pressure, flow rate, etc.).
The MiniModules score with their high measurement accuracy over the entire operating temperature range, the minimized sizes and the module housings’ protection class IP67. Due to the low intrinsic heat, the modules also reduce interference influences to a minimum.
The AD4 MC10 has 4 channels and the AD8 MC2 / ADMM 8 has 8 channels. Both have galvanically isolated inputs for differential voltage measurements. The measurement inputs are adjustable per channel from ±100 mV up to ±60 V.
The AD4 MC10 also features measurement data rates of up to 10 kHz per channel.
In comparison to the AD CAN MM-Series, the modules of the AD pro CAN MM-Series (AD4 pro MC10 for 4 channels and AD8 pro MC2 / ADMM 8 pro for 8 channels) provide very small measurement ranges which, for example, are suitable for the use of ratiometric sensors. Each channel of a “pro” module is equipped with a status LED. In addition, “pro” modules provide the option to use an extended scaling with 32 axis points per channel, instead of a 2-point scaling.
Module version AD8 pro MD2 / ADMM 8 pro2 has been specifically designed for sensors with excitation voltages up to 30 V. With its high-precision, galvanically isolated sensor excitation it is also suitable for sensors with ground-referenced signal inputs.
The AD4 MX2 pro MD is a new edition of our classic ADMM 4. Its extremely compact size (approx. 93 × 30 × 46 mm) remains unchanged, the technical characteristics have been further improved and optimized.
The ADMM 4 CXS is the smallest member of the CSM measurement module family and was consistently designed for applications in engine compartments with limited space. Four differential voltage inputs with unipolar sensor excitation provide excellent measurement accuracy.
The integrated TEDS functionality supports sensor configuration and identification for the application.
The measurement module AD8 MW2 / ADMM 8 BNC features 8 analog inputs and provides excellent measurement accuracy. Sensors with BNC plug can be connected directly. AD8 MW2 is particularly suited for use in protected places or at test benches.
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.
