Fast and synchronous measurements 
Fast and synchronous measurements
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.
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.

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.
Regardless of whether it involves measurements of oil circuit pressure, the flow rate in the cooling circuit or a vehicle's ground clearance, many sensors convert their respective measured quantity into an analog voltage which can be processed in one of CSM's analog measurement modules.
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 800 kHz per channel.
