digiCLIP modular amplifier modules prevent overload

digiCLIP amplifiers automatically monitor measurement quantities such as force, pressure, torque and weight in industrial environments. Both of the new modules - the DF31CAN (with CANopen interface) and the DF31DP (with Profibus-DPV1 interface) – feature one fast digital control input and two fast digital control outputs with PLC signal level.

If, for example, overloads or disturbances occur, machine protection is activated through the control outputs within 2ms. Because the function is implemented locally it does not affect the PLC, thereby ensuring that production reliability and cost-efficiency are increased.

Functions such as fast and reliable setting-up using TEDS (Transducer Electronics Data Sheet) automatic transducer identification make digiCLIP extremely easy to use: the user selects the switching inputs and outputs, and the free digiCLIP Assistant setup software facilitates use of the modules. User-friendly functions such as automatic baud rate recognition and hot swapping (swapping of modules without interrupting system operation) are important features for industry applications.

digiCLIP amplifiers are typically used in automotive engineering, printing and textile machines, and energy generation plant applications, as well as in R&D.
