ClipX – The Precise and Easy-to-Integrate Industrial Signal Conditioner

With an accuracy class of 0.01 and an integrated calibration certificate, the interference-proof signal conditioner ClipX is setting new standards in industrial process control. ClipX adapts to your measurement task, regardless of whether it is used with single- or multiple-channel applications, in manufacturing machines, in test benches or for production monitoring. Owing to the Plug and Play principle, up to six devices can be plugged simultaneously in a modular setup and the measured data can be pre-calculated. Unlike conventional measuring signal conditioners, ClipX does not require a separate head module for direct data processing.

ClipX provides all the latest automation interfaces to perfectly integrate the device into comprehensive control concepts. A particular feature is the intuitive web interface that also enables remote operation, parameterization, and diagnosis.

  • Accuracy class: 0.01
  • Measurement inputs: Full-bridge and half-bridge strain gauges, piezoresistive transducer, potentiometer, Pt100, current, and voltage
  • Interfaces: PROFINET, EtherCAT®,PROFIBUS, Ethernet/IP™*, Modbus-TCP, analog (V/mA,) digital-I/O, and Ethernet (TCP/IP)
  • IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things): Remote diagnosis, health monitoring and web integration; integrated OPC-UA server

Individual System Setup

ClipX allows for the synchronization of both individual measurement chains and systems in milliseconds – optionally with a simultaneous PC or fieldbus connection.

  • Measured values including their status (diagnosis) are transmitted via the ClipX bus
  • No head module is required, which reduces costs
  • Direct processing of all signals such as summation, peak values, or controls
  • The multi-client capability enables all interfaces to be used in parallel and in real time
  • Digital inputs and outputs can perform fast control and monitoring tasks (e.g. alarms)

ClipX EDS-file-creator for Ethernet/IP

The tool reads the current configuration and the user-defined channel names from the ClipX and writes them to the .eds file.

Even if the configuration is individual, ClipX inserts all the channels that can be added as parameters in the file,

so that when the configuration is changed in ClipX, they can be taken over in the PLC software without creating a new .eds file.
