TIM-PN/EC

TIM-PN/EC: digital measurement over PROFINET (TIM-PN) or EtherCAT (TIM-EC).

The TIM-PN and TIM-EC modules are very fast and therefore ideal for highly dynamic applications. They integrate torque force and speed signals into higher level test machine control systems. These digital dual-channel modules are also suitable for simultaneous transmission of measurement data, e.g. from a series encoder T40, T12 and now also sensors T210 to two different networks, depending on the design - Profinet or EtherCat.

In embodiments TIM-PN with ProfiNet communication or in the design TIM-EC with EtherCat communication.

• accuracy class according to HBM: 0.01
• Bus transfer rate: up to 4 kHz (PROFINET), 20 kHz (EtherCAT)

Available for EtherCAT and PROFINET

• Easy combination for hybrid configurations (EtherCAT and Profinet)
• Easy control from digital torque transducers T40B (via digital interface TMC), T12 and T210 (via frequency interface)
• Integrated web server

 Accurate

• Transmitted data in accuracy class 0.01 %
• Two ranges: linearization for full and sub-range
• High dynamics - up to 4 kHz for PROFINET or 20 kHz for EtherCAT

Ready for immediate use

• Measuring process diagnostics
• Integrated web server

Simple configuration without additional software for fast system integration

• Torque and rotational speed signals can be transmitted simultaneously to two PROFINET or EtherCAT interfaces, depending on the design.
• Torque signal: in addition to the TMC (Torque Measurement Communication) interface, an RS422 frequency input is available
• Speed signal: It is possible to connect the speed encoders built into the HBM torque transducers, but also external encoders

TIM modules also allow real-time calculations such as:

• Speed of rotation including direction of rotation
• Angle of rotation including its direction
• Current performance (calculation from torque and rotational speed)
