ClipX signal conditioner by HBM can tackle various measuring tasks

Durham Instruments carries the unique ClipX signal conditioner by HBM.

High-end measuring solutions are the specialty of HBM Test and Measurement, which offers its products to Canadian businesses through Durham Instruments. A key example is HBM’s unique ClipX signal conditioner. This interference-proof tool offers an accuracy class of 0.01, comes with an integrated calibration certificate, and is precise and easy to integrate.

What makes this industrial tool stand out is its ability to adapt to virtually all measurement applications – like single- or multiple-channel applications, manufacturing machines, test benches, and production monitoring.

Plug and Play principle

A versatile device, the ClipX signal conditioner is highly useful in many industries. Durham Instruments recommends it for aerospace, food-processing, military, power-generation, and transportation applications.

Users can plug up to six ClipX conditioners at once into a modular setup to pre-calculate measured data, thanks to the Plug and Play principle. Unlike standard signal conditioners, the ClipX does not require a separate head module for direct data processing. It has all of the latest automation interfaces to integrate it perfectly into comprehensive control concepts, and the intuitive web interface enables remote operation, parameterization, and diagnosis.

The device also provides fast digital signal conditioning for force sensors, load cells, torque sensors, pressure transducers, and temperature and standardized signals. High measurement accuracy is guaranteed, even in rough work environments with electrical interference. The ClipX also stores EN10204-compliant calibration records, which enables complete traceability. Users can combine the sensors with the SD01A Zener barrier to operate them as intrinsically safe instruments in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Another major advantage of the ClipX signal conditioner is its quick processes. The device can provide a high sample rate and high bandwidth for simpler use in automation, fast setup and diagnosis, full support of Transducer Electronic Data Sheets, and transmission and computation of measured values between as many as six instruments.

Additional specifications of this signal conditioner include the following:

• Measurement inputs – Full-bridge and half-bridge strain gauges, piezo-resistive transducer, potentiometer, Pt100, current, and voltage.
• Interfaces – PROFINET, EtherCAT, PROFIBUS, Ethernet/IP, analog, digital-I/O, and Ethernet.
• Industrial Internet of Things – Remote diagnosis, health monitoring, and web integration.
