PMX - modular DAQ system

PMX: Modular multichannel measuring system ready for production and test bench applications, also ready for IoT (Internet of Things) applications.

PMX is our accurate, reliable and flexible measuring instrument used for processing large volumes of data in multi-channel applications.

Data is processed and mediated via an industrial Ethernet interface. An easy-to-use web interface is available via a TCP/IP interface for diagnostics and setup.

Smaller automation tasks can be implemented directly via the internal Soft PLC in accordance with IEC-61131. It can also be used for IoT (Internet of Things) applications - e.g. remote diagnostics, web integration...

 

Precision

• The calibration protocol is stored in the internal memory of the device
• Continuous digital signal adjustment for force and torque transducers
• High bandwidth and sampling rate for industrial Ethernet interfaces

 

Modular

• Equipped with individual measuring cards that contain interfaces according to your requirements
• When using multiple PMX modules: automatic synchronization, simple connection via cable
• LabVIEW / DIAdem driver and API available

 

Easy operation

• Setup and diagnostics via web interface (WEB-GUI)
• Optional integrated SoftPLC module according to IEC-61131
• Supports automatic sensor detection using TEDS
• Computational channels for signal processing and analysis are easily parameterized

 

 

PMX Software

PMX WebServer: standardized software interfaces provide access to all device parameters for configuration, control and analysis. A completely new software and control technology, which is so far only known from smartphones and tablet PCs, has been used for the first time in test and measurement technology.

• PMX-WebServer - integrated into the device
• Three different user levels with corresponding user rights are available to provide access to the PMX and the process
• Standardized software interfaces provide access to all device parameters for configuration, control and analysis
• Ethernet and Internet now also enable cost savings in remote maintenance
• Complex and often faulty software installation is a thing of the past
• Simple and intuitive control

 

The PMX driver package allows integration into LabVIEW™ *, DIAdem *, MLab (sd.Solutions) or proprietary programs using the .NET API (C++, C#, VB.NET).
