How to ... work with PMX!

PMX is an accurate, reliable and flexible measurement instrument ideally suited to process high data volumes for multi-channel applications. The following technical articles describe in detail how to operate the PMX modular measurement amplifier system in different scenarios:

  • Using calculated channels in PMX
  • Connecting and adjusting sensors
  • Working with fieldbus and CoDeSys application
  • ... and many more scenarios!

If you are having questions, do not hesitate to contact HBM for further support.


Scaling Methods


PMX Adjustment Assistant

This Tech Note gives you an instruction on how to adjust a sensor with the PMX. There are two approaches available to adjust sensors using the PMX: A reference channel from the PMX can be used, or a reference value can be entered manually.

PMX CASMA-Filter

Here you will be given an instruction on how to take the mean of a noisy torque signal with the use of the CASMA-filter (Crank Angle Sampled Moving Average). It works with angular synchronism and is time independent, which makes it able to react to changes of the revolution speed. The PMX provides an own calculated channel for this purpose.

PMX as PID controller

Here you will be given an instruction on how to create a PID controller with the PMX. In this particular example a simple RC circuit first order is controlled. To demonstrate a repetitive process a periodic signal is generate by the internal signal generator of the PMX. This signal is exemplary for any process and can be exchange by other signals (e.g. from sensors).
