Robust fieldbus electronics ensure efficient production

HBM’s PME modules feature compact measurement electronics to increase the efficiency of production machinery by providing highly stable measurement channels. These can be used for measuring a variety of mechanical quantities such as force, pressure, torque, rotational speed, temperature, and analog current and voltage signals at high resolution.

PME modules are intended for use in the fields of measurement, control, and documentation. Integrated digital signal processing and conditioning is used for signal analysis while limit values, analog outputs or digital interfaces can be used to transmit the signals to the control system further increasing mechanical and plant efficiency.

A high level of integration is ensured through different fieldbus interfaces, including CANopen, Profibus-DP, and DPV1 protocols for acyclic data exchange and Interbus and Ethernet TCP/IP.

Secured in robust aluminum housings, the PME modules are able to withstand extreme conditions in industrial plants. They are mounted on the rear of common DIN rails. This provides a reinforced locking device making them effective when used on intensely vibrating machinery. HBM’s “FASTpress Suite” software is available for start-up, device configuration, and documentation.
