PMX modular amplifier system offers precise, reliable, and efficient performance

HBM's PMX modular amplifier system, available from Durham Instruments

HBM Test and Measurement remains a leading manufacturer of industrial devices, available in Canada from Durham Instruments. This includes the PMX modular amplifier system – a data-acquisition and control system for production control and industrial test benches. This device represents the sharpest level of measurement technology available.

Perfectly designed and constructed for today’s production challenges, the PMX modular amplifier system scores with high performance, precision, reliability, and efficiency.

Force, torque, strain, and more

The PMX allows users to measure many different parameters professionally and precisely, including force, torque, vibration, pressure, strain, temperature, voltage, and current. It has 16 measuring channels and 32 calculating channels, all of which are rated with 19,200 samples per second – and the entire device is rated up to 400,000 values per second.

What makes the PMX perfect for modern production plants is the support of real-time communication through Industrial Ethernet, a modern, browser-based use software and flexible plugin cards. HBM recommends it for use in press and printing processes, machine monitoring, industrial test benches, and end-of-line test stands, while Durham Instruments recommends it in general manufacturing, automation, food processing, and packaging applications.

This modular amplifier system is the latest industry standard in measurement technology and reaches new heights for use in production and test stands. Its highly accurate measuring data give users major efficiency advantages in production processes, and its sampling rate of 19.2 kilohertz represents top precision for optimal quality assurance.

Another advantage of the PMX is that it can process signals internally and transfer the information to an automation system in real time. The device can identify transducers automatically because of its integrated TEDS system – a key example of dynamic plug and measurement technology that makes production more efficient.

The PMX supports EtherCAT, Profinet, and other current Industrial Ethernet technologies, enabling it to integrate into modern production plants seamlessly and resulting in real-time measurement, calculation, and automation of information. Flexible plugin cards and the ability to connect multiple PMX modules to each other increases the number of channels; up to 300 measurement channels and 600 calculation channels are possible.
