Interface module ‘reduces downtime’
19 Jan 2016
The TIM-PN PROFINET interface module from HBM is designed to increase efficiency and reduce downtime.
It is used when test and measurement equipment is integrated with a system, HBM says.
Enabling torque and rotational speed signals as well as angle of rotation and power to be digitally transmitted to PROFINET, the hardware supports Real Time Classes RT Class 1 and RT Class 3 (IRT) with a bus cycle time of up to 4 kHz.
In addition, operators can integrate both the torque signal and the speed signal of the measurement flanges in PROFINET networks via the same interface module to reduce module variance and increase flexibility in the test bench.
The interface module is suitable for use in Fieldbus-based automation and control systems, such as in test benches for electric motors and combustion engines, gears, pumps and compressors, HBM says.
