PMX Multi Channel Data Acquisition System PMX Multi Channel Data Acquisition System | HBM

PMX Data Acquisition and Control System For Test Benches and Production

PMX is an accurate, reliable and flexible measurement instrument ideally suited to process high data volumes for multi-channel applications. The acquired data is processed and issued through industrial Ethernet interfaces. An easy-to-use web interface is provided via the TCP/IP interface for diagnosis and setup. Smaller automation tasks can be implemented directly via the internal Soft PLC in accordance with IEC-61131. 

  • 2-16 channels per module (individually extendable)
  • Accuracy class of 0.05 with an integrated calibration certificate
  • Interfaces: Profinet, EtherCAT, Ethernet IP, TCP/IP
  • IoT-ready (Internet of Things): applications such as remote diagnosis and web integration

Precise

  • All of the measurement data can be traced via the calibration protocol saved directly in the device (in accordance with EN10204)
  • Continuous digital signal conditioning for force, pressure, displacement, and temperature transducers, as well as torque sensors, angle of rotation, encoder, and standard signals
  • High bandwidth and sample rate for industrial Ethernet interfaces.

Safe, verifiable and trustworthy measurement data. Reliable data acquisition of mechanical and electrical variables.

Modular

  • Equipped individually according to the measured variables and interfaces you require
  • When using several PMX modules: automatic synchronization, simple connection per cable
  • LabVIEW/DIAdem driver and API available

Individually arranged and easy to integrate in software test bench: PMX is perfectly suited to your area of application.

Easy to operate

  • Start-up and diagnosis via web interface (WEB-GUI)
  • Optionally integrated SoftPLC according to IEC-61131
  • Supports automatic sensor detection via TEDS
  • Computed channels for processing and analyzing signals are easy to parameterize

A high-quality data acquisition system that is as easy to operate as a modern smartphone: start-up, remote diagnosis, parameterization of the entire measurement chain – it can all be conducted via simply designed browser interfaces.

New: Integrated Algorithms for Container Weighing, Checkweighing and Sorting Scales

Optimize your processes: The new process algorithms can be easily parameterized via the integrated WebServer. The algorithms work in real time, relieve the machine control and ensure optimal results.
