Module interfaces torque flanges to fieldbuses

Integrating into Ethernet networks, the TIM 40 module enables outputs of about 40,000 values per second. In addition to data output, the TIM 40 offers other functions such as scaling and filtering of measured values and zeroing of the torque signal. The module also upgrades the T40 torque flange with additional analogue and digital interfaces (0-10V, 4-20mA) to complement the voltage and frequency outputs already available in the torque flange.

Mounted on standard DIN rails, the interface module can be directly fitted on a test bench. Protection to IP67 can be achieved using an optional housing. The TIM 40 interface module is used in combination with the T40 torque flange, mainly in the automotive industry on motor, transmission or chassis test benches. Other typical applications include the testing of electric motors, pumps and generators.
