Fast and synchronous measurements
Fast and synchronous measurements
This module series provides high-precision bipolar sensor excitation, adjustable per channel from ±5 to ±15 V DC and suitable for a wide range of sensors. In conjunction with the flexibly adjustable measuring ranges, the various modules cover a wide range of applications.
These modules are operated via CSM’s Ethernet/EtherCAT® protocol converter XCP-Gateway in combination with XCP-compatible data acquisition software. Alternatively, the modules (EtherCAT® slaves) can be run by using a standard EtherCAT® master with measurement data rates up to 10 kHz.

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 EtherCAT® measurement technology from CSM offers the highest measurement performance: e.g. for multi-channel applications with more than 1,000 strain gauges - / acceleration transducers and applications with measurement data rates of up to 1 MHz per channel. Manufacturers of measurement devices have to cope with continually increasing requirements. Thus, measurement devices have to acquire and process increasingly large amounts of data. The proven CAN measurement technology is hereby often pushed to its limits. This is why the EtherCAT® field bus is setting new standards regarding bandwidth, maximum number of channels and synchronicity of measurement signals.
