HBM GmbH product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Sep 25, 2009
HBM has launched the TEDSdongle to automatically configure transducers and sensors for measurement tasks without needing an additional amplifier.
The TEDSdongle extends HBM's support of Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS) technology that ensures measurement chains can be automatically and securely recognised and configured.
The TEDSdongle from HBM is designed to save costs and time when storing transducer data sheets in standardised TEDS format
The use of the dongle, in combination with TEDS-compatible sensors, reduces the time and costs for the setup of a test system or test configuration.
The automatic configuration of the sensors delivers reliable and reproducible measurement results.
The Tdongle allows users to read and write TEDS information rapidly and inexpensively to the memory chip for configuring sensors and to prepare them for measurement tasks.
TEDS data are stored according to the international IEEE standard 1451.4, which defines manufacturer-independent standards for electronic data sheets.
Transducer data can also be archived to a PC and used as a template for new sensors.
The TEDS-Editor software, supplied by HBM, aids users to parameterise the corresponding TEDS information for their measurement tasks.
The software automatically recognises the TEDS memory and enables the modification and configuration of sensors in the laboratory or on site.
The TEDSdongle is connected via a USB port to a Windows PC, with no additional voltage supply required.
Typical applications include test bench engineering in production or in the laboratory sector.
