Universal measurement device for development, testing and service
The C-Series consists of smart network-capable, unventilated compact measurement devices for all-purpose measurement of physical quantities. These devices can operate either in computer-aided or autonomous mode and are lightweight, compact, and robust, and thus especially well adapted to applications in R&D or in the testing of mechanical and und electromechanical components of machines, on board vehicles, or in monitoring tasks in installations.

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

• Voltage- and current signals
• Thermocouples and resistance thermometers
• Strain gauge measurement bridges with current supply and adjustment control
• Current-fed sensors (ICP®)
• The C Series also comes with a sensor power supply and TEDS capability.

In addition all C Series units come standard with.
8 digital inputs
8 digital outputs
4 analog outputs
4 incremental inputs for capture of RPMs, displacements 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 standard equipped with the enhancement Online FAMOS. Online FAMOS comes with powerful digital signal processors (DSPs) which carry out the functions quickly and independently of the PC. Online FAMOS enables "free" definition of one’s own real-time functions and makes the C-Series a Personal Analyzer.


For all-purpose application

When measurement applications change from day to day, it's very convenient to use universal measurement amplifiers. For tasks involving the measurement of voltage and current, with sampling rates of up to 20kHz per channel, the all-purpose measurement devices 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 devices 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.


Reading measurement data from field busses

The C-Series is equipped with a dual-node CAN-bus interface which enables the system to read broadcast data and status information from the field bus. Measured data from the bus are processed, displayed and saved in parallel and synchronised with conventionally measured data. The C-Series supports CAN High Speed (ISO11898) and CAN Low Speed (ISO11519).


Software & On-Line FAMOS

With its digital signal processors (DSP), and in conjunction with Online FAMOS, the C-Series is a customizable Personal analyzer offering not only general calculation functionality, but also special calculation algorithms such as digital filters, FFT, class-counting and order-tracking analysis, as
well as control commands and closed-loop control functions. Without the need for programming tools, the measurement system can be expanded with application-specific functionality, such as data compression, calculation operations performed on entire channels, control processes and
closed-loop control functions. Complete integration of this DSP functionality is easily achieved by means of the operating software imcDevices.


Noise and vibration analysis

The C-Series is also optimally equipped for noise and vibration analysis. The CS-8008 model in particular is a device offering a large analog 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 measurement device 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 the 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 models CS-5008, CL-5016 and CX-5032 are provided. For dynamic strain gauge measurements of highest quality, the models 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 desirable to integrate equipment into new or existing environments. In conjunction with imc COM and the LabView interface, C-Series is able to meet this wish.


imc WAVE

PersonalWave


• Sound power analyser

• Structure Analyser

• Pass-by analysis of motor vehicles

• Standards-compliant measurement of workplace noise

• Spectrum Analyser

• Order Tracking Analyser
PersonalWave enables the performance of specialized analyses which not addresses by the standard imc WAVE analysers. In conjunction with FAMOS 5.0 and Online FAMOS, sequences can be written for the pre- and post-processing of time domain data. imc WAVE is able to import, transfer and display the quantities computed. For example, standard measurement procedures such as those stipulated by DIN 45657, EN ISO 5349-1 and ISO 2631-1, with site specific requirements and adaptations, can be implemented.


C Series Storage Options

Although the C Series is a very capable real time logger directly to the PC, its original design concept was to works standalone. The unit fundamentally provides everything required for standalone operation and various storage options are available. Depending on the housing style and the configuration these maybe PCMCIA, Compact Flash or Hard Disc. Normally, this type of option is chosen at time of purchase in consultation with Instrumentation Direct staff.
