Measurement & Control ModulesPrecise results, even with challenging measurement tasks

2

Scienlab has developed reliable Measurement & Control Modules for a wide range of test, measurement, and control tasks, e. g. in the development of automotive and indus trial products. They can be combined as required for the mea - surement task and scope. They are ideal for carrying out challenging measurement tasks, even under difficult environmental conditions (e. g. in a climate chamber). The modules offer top quality, robustness, and easy and intuitive operation.

Versatile module typesScienlab offers modules with analog measurement inputs for voltages, temperature sensors, and a digital I/O module for re­cording and switching digital signals. A communication interface enables the integration of various fieldbus systems like CAN, FlexRay, or XCP. In a battery management system (BMS), tasks like time-synchronous recording of the state of charge as well as the voltages and temperatures measured by the BMS are thus possible. The Terminal Control Module also makes it possible to model vehicle-specific interfaces to the BMS via switched terminals, power supply, terminal 15, 30 etc. and activate them from the test sequence.

Precise, reproducible, and time-synchronous measure-ment data acquisitionThe circuit design and the choice of electronic components meet the highest requirements, in particular with respect to electromagnetic compatibility. This ensures precise and repro­ducible measurement data acquisition. All the measurement data is also recorded time-synchronously and provided with a synchronized time stamp in accordance with the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). This makes it possible to accurately compare and evaluate different data.

Integration in ESD or the customer's softwareFor easy and efficient evaluation of the measurement data and activation of all the measurement modules, Scienlab offers the EnergyStorageDiscover (ESD) operating software shipped as standard with our test systems for energy storage devices. This software automatically detects all Scienlab Measurement & Control Modules present in the laboratory network. Using the ESD user interface, all measurement channels in a test envi­ronment can be freely assigned to the individual test channels in the test systems. ESD offers the option of using the recorded measurement data as variables in the test procedure or as limit values for abort criteria, etc. Alternatively, the Scienlab Measurement & Control Modules can also be integrated in the customer's software or automation solutions via the open Ethernet interface.

A safe working environment, even under difficult test conditionsThe Scienlab Measurement & Control Modules are intrinsically safe and can also be used under difficult climatic conditions thanks to their water- and dust-proof housings (up to protection class IP67). The measuring technology in the modules is de­signed for a temperature range from -40 to 80 degrees Celsius. In addition, the modules have up to 16 independent measure­ment channels, each of which is fully electrically isolated and has an insulation voltage of up to 1,000 V for safe working conditions. High insulation strength within the measuring technology is imperative, especially when working with pre-assembled high-voltage batteries where the measurement sensors are usually in direct contact with the battery terminals. For this reason, the Scienlab Measurement & Control Modules offer insulation strength of 1,000 V not only between the channels, but also between the channels and the supply voltage, the interface and the housing (PE).

Easy handling thanks to reduced cablingThe Scienlab Measurement & Control Modules can be flexibly combined, extended, and stacked, making them extremely space-saving. They can be supplied with mains power via Power over Ethernet (PoE) or the standard power supply unit included. To re­duce the amount of cabling required when dealing with multiple modules, the power supply and the network connection can be daisy chained across several modules.
