Signal conditioner facilitates integration into machines, production systems
Marlborough, MA. HBM Inc. has announced its new industrial signal conditioner called ClipX—”Clip. Measure. Control.” With an accuracy class of 0.01 and included digital working standard calibration certificate, ClipX is setting new standards in industrial process control, the company said. The module adapts to any measurement task, regardless of whether it is used with single- or multiple-channel applications, manufacturing machines, or production monitoring.
ClipX allows for easy implementation of any number of individual, standalone measurement chains or measurement systems with up to six devices that can communicate with each other. The signal conditioner provides all the latest automation interfaces to integrate the device into comprehensive, digital-control concepts (PROFINET, PROFIBUS, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, current, and voltage).
Both analog and digital measurement chains can be built up with ClipX. HBM’s sensors are optimally matched to the ClipX signal conditioner and provide interference-proof measurement results.
ClipX already fulfills the requirements of the future networked production. A particular feature is the intuitive web interface that also allows remote operation, parameterization, and diagnosis. ClipX is self-monitoring and helps prevent machine downtime due to the early detection of faults (predictive maintenance). This is possible due to Smart Functions such as health monitoring, remote diagnosis, and pre-calculated channels.
HBM, in addition to its range of signal conditioners and data acquisition systems, also offers sensors for measuring torque, force, displacement, and other mechanical quantities. Customers benefit from a complete solution for industrial measurement and control with fast set-up times, high measurement data quality and meaningful results across the entire measurement chain.
