Monitor reads absolute positional values

A HBM UK product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Dec 6, 2004

The MP85 fitting and press-fit monitoring system reads absolute positional values from the drive control via its digital synchronous serial interface.

HBM has introduced the MP85 fitting and press-fit monitoring system to read absolute positional values from the drive control via its digital synchronous serial interface (SSI).

In most cases the MP85 removes the needs for a separate displacement sensor.

The MP85 uses digitised displacement information from the integrated shaft position encoder on electromechanical pressing drive systems.

Because the MP85 uses absolute position values, production is increased as there is no unnecessary system travel for reference purposes.

To ensure maximum benefit to end users, the MP85 can process incremental encoder signals, inductive transducers or analogue signals for displacement measurement.

Most sensors can be connected to the MP85 for force measurement with the force-displacement curve analysed using a tolerance window or band.

On stand-alone workstations the plot, statistical data and results can be stored on a standard multimedia card (MMC) in the device.

For networked systems, Profibus DPV1 mode is used to store results and process data locally.

This mode can be used to transfer noncyclic data and parameters.

The MP85 also communicates using PLC-compatible digital I/Os and a CANopen interface is available.
