Sensor & actuator technology

The FlexLog IBS is a small display and recording device for current and voltage values in vehicles using an IBS battery sensor. This means that charging and discharging balances on a 12V battery can easily be carried out over a longer period of time.

This is a versatile, mobile, autonomous platform with which sensor data can be recorded, processed and generated. The FlexGen-M Sent reads out connected SENT sensors and simulates virtual sensors. The unit also provides various signal manipulation functions, such as to test the limit value behavior of specific connected control units

The FlexGen-M PWM is a powerful PWM generator by which a variable PWM signal can be generated. All adjustable parameters can be read from the integrated display. Thanks to the robust aluminum housing and the high-grade controls, it is outstandingly well suited to tough mobile applications on test benches and in test vehicles, as well as for the PWM actuation of control valves and actuators

The FlexGen-M PWM remote can be used to generate variable PWM signals with output currents of up to 10 A. The frequency, the pulse duty factor as well as the setting and control parameters can be determined via a CAN interface through an automation system. The current values can be read back through a sensor input and the integrated current measurement.

The FlexGen-S PWG is an electronic PWG simulator that replaces the original vehicle pedal value sensor. This allows reproducible accelerator pedal positions to be generated on test benches. Due to various configuration options and interfaces, the device can be used for all vehicles, regardless of the manufacturer.

The FlexGen-S PWM is a PWM generator in which the PWM signal is generated by an open-collector output stage. This unit thus generates PWM signals for test benches and test vehicles, or speed presets on control inputs of automotive fans and pumps. The frequency and signal ratio can be individually adjusted by a rotary encoder.

The FlexGen-S SENSOR is constructed flexibly in order to solve varying sensor/actuator technology tasks. Usually, sensors need a control unit for visualizing, processing and supplying.

FlexInterlock-M Is a module for the use in test benches which emulates an HV interlock‘s functionality according to an HV battery by generating and evaluating an HV interlock signal. Several redundant switch contacts and LEDs are provided to signalize whether the HV interlock was or was not detected.

The FlexIO-M Thermo is likewise a thermocouple measuring module for electrically isolated temperature measurement. This variant offers eight type K thermocouple connections.

The FlexIO-S Analog measures voltages up to ±60 V and transmits the values on a CAN bus. Voltages of up to ±10 V can also be simulated to power sensors.

With FlexIO-S Digital , data on a CAN bus can be converted into digital signals for status display or to switch external peripherals. Additionally, digital inputs can be read-in and their signals mapped and transmitted on the CAN bus. For the purpose, the hardware features a CAN interface as well as eight high-side and eight low-side channels which can be individually configured optionally as inputs or outputs.
