Product Description
The imc CANSASflex series offers a wide selection of measurement modules, which cover all typical sensors and signals from heavy machinery, industrial installations and vehicles. The modules can be installed in both a spatially-distributed arrangement or as a central unit. Combining modules couldn’t be easier: with the innovative imc click-mechanism, the modules are electrically and mechanically connected to each other – without the need for tools or cabling.
On test stands, in factories or plants, wherever multiple modules are permanently installed as one central unit, the use of a 19 inch rack is often recommended. This allows modules to be conveniently inserted with automatic supply and connection to the CAN bus.
Click-mechanism for more comfort
The imc CANSASflex series modules can be quickly connected using the click-mechanism: both mechanically and electrically. Blocks can easily be formed by simply clicking individual modules together without the use of wiring or fasteners.
Add a data logger with a single click
Measurement modules are perfectly complemented with the new, clickable imc BUSDAQflex data logger. With a simple click, a complete measurement system can be built from module blocks that can simultaneously save all data and provide interfaces to common field buses such as CAN, LIN, FlexRay and XCPoE. Furthermore, imc BUSDAQflex supports various protocols like KWP2000, CCP, XCP or OBD-2.

imc CANSASflex-SC16 – 16 channel module for measuring voltage, current and temperature
The SC16 CAN-Bus measurement module is an especially affordable analog input module with 16 multiplexed differential inputs. Voltage signals of up to 60 V (20 V via optional divider plug), current signals of up to 20 mA, Pt100 sensors and any commercially available thermocouples can be connected directly. Special noise suppression functionality makes highly sensitive voltage and thermocouple measurements in difficult environments possible despite the multiplexer. The noise suppression provided is most effective at low sampling rates and decreasingly effective as the sampling rate is raised.
