New SomatXR modules from HBM expand range of applications

The MX840B-R is a universal amplifier, which offers eight channels for connecting over 16 different transducer technologies, making it suitable for various measurement tasks that require the use of many different transducers.

With four channels and a data rate of up to 100kS/s per channel, SomatXR MX411B-R is well suited for highly dynamic measurement tasks, such as vibration measurements and impact tests, which require precise measurement.

Also available to add to the measurement chain is the SomatXR MX471B-R CAN bus module, a robust module which can be used to record mechanical quantities and also digital vehicle data. Featuring four individually configurable interfaces which receive CAN data, the module also supports reading of CCP or xCP-on-CAN messages and offers the option of using CAN messages as triggers for measurement recordings. In addition, the module provides gateway functionality and can send sensor signals acquired with other SomatXR modules as CAN messages.

Like other modules available from the SomatXR range, the new additions offer flexible, modular and expandable properties and can be used in combination with other data acquisition systems such as QuantumX.

Rugged and flexible in use, the SomatXR data acquisition system from HBM provides a web interface for simple operation without any software installation, which allows for convenient channel parameterisation, monitoring of measurement jobs and visualisation of measured data far away from the measurement point.
