Info

The Signal Modules provide the interface to the different signal sources to be measured. A range of individual Signal Modules can be used for signal conditioning of different sensors or data sources. A maximum of 24 channels can be connected to one Signal Module. Visualisation of the input signals is carried out by means of a display and overload LED’s. The display ensures the identificatin of the module within a decentralised configuration by displaying the selected unique module number.

The Signal Module performs the signal conditioning and the A/D conversion (24bit). Each channel is completely independent and consists of sensor support (power), amplifier, A/D converter, anti aliasing filter and optional high or low pass filter. In view of accuracy, measurement speed, and noise characteristic the Signal Modules represent “State-of-the-art” technology. The digital and the analogue module parts and the power voltage input part are galvanic isolated to remove the noise introduced by potential differences. All modules have their own power supplies as well as their own calibration units. The low power consumption of a Signal Module and the enhanced cooling technology avoids the integration of fans in the Signal module which is a big advantage especially for acoustic measurements.
The sample rate can be set for each module individually. A special 6 channel module feature is the overload detection. An overload situation will be detected by means of a comparator already before the A/D conversion. Also one channel can be used as signal channel or a RPM channel.
One Signal Module can be connected directly to the USB interface of a PC.
