SomatXR Data Acquisition Modules

Built on proven technology and testing experience in harsh environments, HBM has developed the SomatXR family of data acquisition modules for use under extreme conditions.

• Field-ready and can be used for an extremely diverse range of requirements and applications
• Application examples include off-highway vehicles used in construction, agriculture and forestry, civil engineering and energy for structural monitoring
• Currently three 24-bit amplifiers available 
• MX1601B-R measures standardized voltage, current and IEPE/ICP sensors on 16 individually configurable channels
• MX1609B-R is a K-Type thermocouple amplifier providing 16 individually configurable thermocouple channels
• MX1615B-R is a strain gauge bridge amplifier enabling up to 16 sensors or strain gauges in full, half or quarter-bridge configuration to be connected
• Developed for measurements outside the laboratory, even under harsh ambient conditions
• Protected from water, dust, shock and vibration
• Meets IP65/67 degree of protection
• Can be used in temperature range from -40 to 80 C
• Vibration resistance of 10g and impact resistance of 70g have also been confirmed through standardized tests
• Modules can be mixed in any configuration
• Allows users to easily add or remove modules to meet testing needs
• Enables use of one or many modules for testing
• Placement close to measurement points improves signal quality, and alleviates complex and messy cabling situations
• Provides precise synchronization via Ethernet/PTPv2 over a distance of up to 100 meters
• No programming skills are required when running with catman software for test configuration
• Offers ability to utilize TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) for quick, easy and accurate test setup
• Enables customization of users own sensor database
• catman software offers powerful data visualization while collecting data, allowing configured triggers based on any inputs 
• Performs real-time math functions and helps validate collected data
