Measurement solutions showcased at SENSOR+TEST

The latest version of the IPEmotion measurement software now also facilitates the analysis of acoustic signals and vibrations with the Campbell diagram.

The four-channel Mx-SENS2 4 measurement module serves as a corresponding hardware platform, which, thanks to its channel sampling rate of up to 100kHz, makes it ideally suited for capturing dynamic measurement signals, for example from ICP-fed microphones and acceleration sensors.

Analogue measured variables, sound measurements and component vibrations can be recorded in IPEmotion synchronously with digital measured variables from the vehicle ECUs via CAN bus, FlexRay and LIN bus networks. The efficient M-LOG V3 data logger is now available with the new COMgate V3 hardware module as an extension for wireless data transmission. The COMgate V3 permits extremely fast, secure and convenient remote data transmission with 4G and LTE speeds.

The modem interface supports the modern standard IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n for Wi-Fi networks with data rates of up to 150 Mbps. What is more, upgrades are simple due to the module being compatible both with predecessor models of the COMgate and those of the M-LOG.

Thanks to the second Gigabit Ethernet interface integrated in the COMgate V3, users now have the option of configuring the overall system comprising the data logger and COMgate conveniently via the IPEmotion software. On the basis of remote data transmission, which is supported by all IPETRONIK data loggers, the IPEcloud extends the worldwide monitoring of data logger fleets during field trials.

The IPEcloud package comprises the three basic modules IPEfleet, IPEdrive and IPEmail. IPEfleet enables users by means of a freely configurable interface to define which parameters are to be monitored in the measurement data logged in order to view their status in the form of a traffic light display (red/yellow/green).

The system files transmitted can be processed automatically and output in the form of a PDF report. IPEdrive is used for managing and editing the measurement data acquired and transmitted by the logger, whilst IPEmail is used for managing e-mail addresses in order to inform various users specifically of system errors or deviations in the measurement data.

INCA from ETAS is a widely used software platform for calibrating ECUs with the focus on powertrain development. Using the new IPETRONIK driver IPEaddon INCA 5, it is possible to integrate measurement modules on the basis of CAN bus and XCPonETH protocols via the BOA and OHI interface from INCA and configure them with ETAS software.

This allows analogue measurement data to be recorded via the ETK interface for example with chronological synchronism to the measurement data from the ECU.
