ClipX next-generation signal conditioner is easy to integrate

Designed to optimise production processes, ClipX is a dynamic signal conditioner that not only amplifies signals and transfers them to the control unit, without any interference, but also completes preliminary calculations and summaries to reduce the load on higher level controls. This means that the innovative new ClipX is able to accomplish some of the tasks that would otherwise be undertaken by the higher-level controller.

ClipX enables easy implementation of any number of individual, standalone measurement chains or measurement systems with up to six devices that can communicate with each other. The signal conditioner provides all the latest automation interfaces to integrate the device into comprehensive, digital control concepts (Profinet, Profibus, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, current and voltage).

Analog and digital

Both analogue and digital measurement chains can be built up with ClipX. HBM's sensors are optimally matched to the ClipX signal conditioner and provide interference-proof measurement results.

According to HBM, ClipX fulfils the requirements of future networked production. A particular feature is the intuitive web interface that also enables remote operation, parameterisation and diagnosis. ClipX is self-monitoring and helps prevent machine downtime through the early detection of faults (predictive maintenance). This is possible due to integral Smart Functions such as health monitoring, remote diagnosis and pre-calculated channels.

HBM, in addition to its range of signal conditioners and data acquisition systems, also offers sensors for measuring torque, force, displacement and other mechanical quantities. Customers benefit from a complete system for industrial measurement and control with fast set-up times, high measurement data quality and meaningful results across the entire measurement chain.
