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 number of electrical and electronic components in vehicles is steadily rising. In order to provide an efficient design of vehicle electronics and electrical systems, precise measurements of current and voltage are essential.
