SomatCR: Rugged, mobile, CAN-based temperature data acquisition module

SomatCR is the rugged, mobile, CAN-based temperature data acquisition module.

It provides a flexible, distributed network of HBM world-class signal conditioning that thrives in any environment or weather condition.

Engineered to operate within severe temperature ranges of -40°C to 125°C (-40°F … 257°F) with an IP67 protection class rating, the compact SomatCR modules allow users to take temperature measurements directly in the most difficult test objects. These can include engine enclosures, gearboxes, pumps, power generation, and many industrial applications.

This reduces installation time, cabling, and test set-up while lowering overall product-testing costs. The flexible SomatCR modules are compatible with any CAN ISO 11898 2.0B-based system or vehicle network and have a selectable baud rate from 20 kbps to 1 Mbps.

Connecting multiple modules through the CAN bus allows for nearly unlimited channel counts, covering great distances up to 250 M. SomatCR modules are powered from a user-friendly DC power source from 10 to 36 volts. Once power is applied to the first module, it is distributed through the rest of the network.

The SomatCR modules are extremely well-matched to function with any CAN network. And when interfacing with the SoMat eDAQ, SoMat eDAQlite, MGCplus or QuantumX by HBM, a single SomatCR module can be powered directly from the Vehicle Network Communications layer (ECOM or ELCOM), and a hardware query self-recognizes the modules in the systems.

SomatCR is available in 16-channel configurations for K-, J- or T-type thermocouples. Each channel has individual cold-junction compensation fully isolated up to 500 V, with an accuracy of +/-0.5°C.

Selectable sample rates are available for each channel from 0.1 to 15 Hz. The SomatCR also has digital and analog filtering to remove high frequency signal components above 50 Hz and notches at 50 Hz and 60 Hz to prevent aliasing at the power line frequency bands.

SomatCR Assistant Software

SomatCR Assistant is a configuration program for the thermo module MC1609. Its main functions are configuring the modules, doing test measurements with the current configuration and creating DBC files (Vector CAN-DB format) which describe the CAN messages generated by the modules.

System requirements:

  • Operating Systems: XP / Vista / Windows 7; 32 and 64-bit platforms supported
  • Hard disk: Approx. 10MB of free space
  • CAN-interface: SomatCR Assistant supports several CAN adapters. A list can be found in the SomatCR Assistant help. Drivers and tools for CAN adapters are not included with the SomatCR Assistant.
