Universal measurement device for development, testing and service

 The C-Series is an intelligent network-capable, compact measurement system for all-purpose measurement. The C-Series can operate in either computer-aided or stand alone mode and is lightweight, compact and robust, it is especially suitable for Automotive, R&D, Industrial and Installation Monitoring applications. 

The C-Series comes with either differential or isolated universal measurement amplifiers with analogue anti-aliasing filters. The universal amplifiers offer a high degree of flexibility; they are high-precision, low noise and designed for the direct connection of:

• voltage - and current signals

• any thermocouples and resistance thermometers

• strain gauge measurement bridges with current supply and adjustment control

• current-fed sensors (ICP®)

• they also come with a sensor power supply and TEDS capability

More than just a universal measurement amplifier

In addition to the analogue inputs, all C-Series models also come with:

• 8 digital inputs

• 8 digital outputs

• 4 analogue outputs

• 4 incremental inputs for capture of RPM, displacement etc.

• CAN- Bus Interface with 2 nodes

Real-time capabilities

For real-time functionality such as mathematical calculations, limit monitoring or closed- and open-loop tasks in the μs range, the C-Series comes as standard equipped with the enhancement Online FAMOS. Online FAMOS uses powerful digital signal processors (DSPs) which carry out the functions quickly and independently of the PC. Online FAMOS enables the "free" definition of real-time functions and makes the C-Series a Powerful Personal Analyzer. 

For all-purpose application 

With changing measurement applications universal measurement amplifiers give a high level of flexibility. 

For tasks involving the measurement of voltage and current, with sampling rates of up to 20kHz per channel, the all-purpose measurement systems CS-1016 and CL-1032 are great choices. The input channels are differential and equipped with individual signal conditioning including filters. Designed for connection to any sensor and signal types, the universal measurement systems CS-7008 and CL-7016 are especially well suited for all-purpose application. Measurement of voltage, current, and resistance can be carried out at 100 kHz per channel. PT100s, any thermocouples and strain gauges can be directly connected in all bridge configurations. 

For measurements in difficult electrically noisy conditions, the C-Series models CS-4108 and CL-4124 offer isolated input channels. Electrically isolated channels avoid signal interference even in the presence of ground loops.

Noise and vibration analysis 

The C-Series is also highly suitable for noise and vibration analysis. The CS-8008 model in particular is a system offering a large analogue bandwidth and high sampling rate, as well as the possibility of directly connecting current-fed accelerometers and microphones. Along with simple time-domain signals, the CS-8008 can also display 1/3-octave spectra. 

Using the software platform imcWAVE, the CS-8008  is transformed into a true workstation for specialized tasks involving noise and vibration analysis. imcWAVE’s individual optional software modules make order-tracking, spectral and sound power analyses possible at the click of a button. 

Universal power measurement 

For a full range of power measurements, the model CL-2108 provides the right tools. It can carry out single-, two-and three-phase power measurements. CL-2108 offers a convincing combination of affordable price and high precision. An optional software package for network voltage analysis is also available. 

Measurement with strain gauges – structure analysis 

With five model varieties specially designed for strain gauge measurement, every user can find just the right device. 

For affordable, quasi-static strain gauges, the CS-5008, CL-5016 and CX-5032 are provided. 

For dynamic strain gauge measurements of highest quality, the CS-6004 and CL-6012 with extra carrier frequency operation are the best choice.

The C-Series in test rigs

For test rig applications in particular, it is often a need to integrate equipment into new or existing environments. In conjunction with imc COM and LabView interface, C-Series is able to meet this challenge.

Different housings for different applications

To meet the broad spectrum of the C-Series application capabilities, there are three different housings: the very compact CS for up to 16 input channels; the CL for up to 32 input channels; and the larger CX, which has room for 32 bridge measurement channels. Click here for comparison.
