HBM's CMD600 digital charge amplifier enables mechanical quantities - such as force, pressure or torque - in the measured range of 50-600,000pC to be measured with piezoelectric sensors and made available either as analogue voltage signals (0-10V) or in digital form via its integrated Ethernet interface.
The amplifier is particularly suitable for very fast measurements with frequencies up to 30kHz. All signal inputs and outputs are electrically isolated, ensuring simple and secure integration in control systems. Additional digital inputs and outputs can be used for various control functions with peak value or limit value signalling.
Thanks to the PC software provided, the user can quickly and easily configure the amplifier using standard TCP/IP. The software automatically recognises every CMD600 in the network and enables IP address setting.
As the CMD600 utilises Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS), any connected system automatically reads sensor and amplifier data, thus reducing measurement setup time. HBM has introduced an integrated sensor-teach function that sets the applicable measurement range automatically using two known loading points. This means that the amplifier can be parameterised via the digital inputs, even without a PC.
IP65-compliant, the CMD600 is suitable for use in harsh industrial environments. Typical applications for the charge amplifier are found in production, joining and forming processes, in test benches for engines and gears, and in research and development.
