HBM updates the Easyswitch process controller
A
HBM UK product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Oct 9, 2008
HBM's Easyswitch process controller with TEDS has been updated to allow the testing of up to five switch elements in one cycle.
The range of different sensors has been increased to improve monitoring of switching systems for power distribution in automotive or high-quality consumer goods.
Easyswitch gives traceable data in the event of customer complaints, reducing potential claims under product liability legislation.
Accurately monitoring and documenting switching systems reduces the percentage of rejects and production downtime.
Easyswitch provides consistent recording of the functioning of switching elements and locking systems using force, displacement or torque angle of rotation sensors during production.
Easyswitch is suitable for automotive, energy and other markets where high-quality production and traceability demands are high.
Correctly testing switches and locking systems gives immediate results for optimal quality and production control.
Easyswitch features tactile feedback when activating pushbuttons and rotary switches and identifies and documents the switching characteristics of single- or multiple-pole voltage switches.
Based on HBM's PME modules, Easyswitch can be integrated into existing systems and customised applications using the API software library.
Test stands can be integrated using Fieldbus (Profibus-DPV1) or Fast Ethernet while setup and handling is simplified by using PME-Assistant.
Easyswitch can be remotely controlled and serviced using Ethernet or through the internet.
Results can be seen visually using the Fastpress software package running on standard IPC equipment with Windows Vista, XP and CE.
Test results and parameter sets can be stored on memory card in the MP85A-S or via Ethernet on a stand-alone PC or industrial server.
