Industrial process control refers to the measurement chain for manufacturing and processing instrumentation. This includes software and hardware controls and incorporates both mechanical and electrical data acquisition components. Every industry requires some form of process control equipment to ensure mechanical instrumentation is operating within safe and certified parameters, and to outstanding degrees of repeatability. However, the stringent requirements of continuous operating environments require measurement hardware that can obtain electrical and mechanical signals with minimal invasiveness. Robust signal amplifiers offer a simple solution to this problem.
A signal amplifier, or signal conditioner, is a data acquisition instrument that converts signal values into legible data that is compatible with integrated software. Typically, a signal amplifier acquires a mechanical or electrical signal and amplifies its resolution or its signal-to-noise ratio. The converted signal is then transmitted to the machine control through digital or analog interfaces. Multiple components can be connected to the machine control through a dedicated signal amplifier, providing rapid signal diagnostics to reduce mechanical downtime and improve process control in a range of industries.
The PMX industrial signal amplifier is a flexible data acquisition system for industrial process control, with outstanding modularity for multiple interfaces and measurement variables. It has an exceptional sampling rate of 19.2 kHz per channel, with automatic detection of numerous transducers, including: strain gauge full bridges; strain gauge half bridges; inductive full bridges; inducting half bridges; and more. It is one of the most rounded signal amplifiers available from HBM, with seamless integration for improved automatic measurement capacities for up to 16 distinct input channels.
The ClipX is a stark contrast to the broad PMX, operating on an easy-to-integrate Plug and Play principle in a cutting-edge modular array. This signal amplifier has an outstanding class accuracy of 0.01 and a modern web interface for increased automation and remote monitoring of industrial processes. It can convert amplified signals to machine controls in millisecond intervals, with up to 6 additional modules enabling multi-channel measurements for more demanding signal measurement applications.
The PME signal amplifier occupies the middle ground between the low footprint ClipX and the multi-channel PMX. It comprises multiple signal amplifier modules attached to a Fieldbus, enabling acquisition of numerous quantities, including: pressure; temperature; and torque. The range of modules enables bespoke control parameters to be maintained and monitored with inherent diagnostics and fault signaling processes.
