Module uses interference-proof and stable measurement techniques to simplify automation tasks in industrial environments and for monitoring manufacturing processes.
HBM has launched the Digiclip family to simplify automation tasks in industrial environments and for monitoring manufacturing processes such as in automotive manufacturing, textile machines, printing machinery or energy recovery installations.
Digiclip uses interference-proof and stable measurement techniques enabling the carrier frequency modules to measure quantities such as force, strain, torque and pressure easily, accurately and with high reliability.
A maximum of 99 Digiclip modules can be combined by clipping them together.
The internal digital signal processor computes and combines the measurement signal within milliseconds to provide practical parameters such as limit and instantaneous values or peak values.
This self-monitoring signal conditioning reduces reliance on connected automation systems further simplifying accurate measurement.
Based on a modular amplifier system, Digiclip uses TEDS technology enabling users to adapt sensors easily and quickly.
Each module uses plug-and-measure technology so that measurements can be taken immediately the module address has been adjusted.
It is supplied with software providing a graphical user interface for setting up individual modules.
Each module uses a Canbus or Profibus DP interface to enable a distributed system to be easily implemented.
All conditioned signals and functions are transmitted via these universal standard interfaces for further processing.
