ClipX industrial amplifier by HBM is precise, easy to integrate

The HBM ClipX industrial amplifier, available in Canada from Durham Instruments

HBM Test and Measurement is a name that many businesses associate with some of the best measurement devices on the market, and its products are available in Canada through Durham Instruments. One of these is the ClipX industrial amplifier, a precise and easy-to-integrate signal conditioner that sets new standards in industrial process control.

This industrial amplifier is available in three designs – the BM40, BM40PB, and BM40IE – and comes with an integrated calibration certificate.

No separate head module required

ClipX is an interference-proof signal conditional that adapts to any measurement task, usable with single- or multiple-channel applications, in manufacturing machinery, in test benches, or for production monitoring. It uses the Plug and Play principle, which enables users to plug up to six devices in a modular setup at the same time and to pre-calculate measured data. Traditional measuring signal conditioners require separate head modules for direct data processing, but ClipX does not.

Key features of this industrial amplifier include the following:

• all the latest automation interfaces, to integrate the device into comprehensive control concepts;
• intuitive web interface that allows for remote operation, parameterization, and diagnosis;
• accuracy class of up to 0.01 with 24-bit A/D conversion;
• measurement inputs for full-bridge and half-bridge strain gauges, piezoresistive transducers, potentiometers, Pt100, current, and voltage;
• compatibility with PROFINET, EtherCAT, PROFIBUS, Ethernet/IP, analog, digital-I/O, and Ethernet; and
• Industrial Internet of Things for remote diagnosis, health monitoring, and web integration.

Other advantages include a freely configurable measurement channel with TEDS channel parameterization, connection of seven transducer technologies with a 19.2-kilohertz sample rate, internal calculation channels for smart functions, rugged and compact metal housing for attachment to DIN rail, and an integrated web server with three levels of user guidance for simple operation.

Durham Instruments recommends ClipX for use in a wide range of industries, including general manufacturing, aerospace, automation, food processing, forestry, education, the medical field, the military, mining, packaging, alternative energy, power generation, transportation, and research and development.

For a level of quality and accuracy unmatched in measurement devices, the company to trust is HBM.
