Fast and reliable results … … for production and test benches

– the new industry standard …

A measuring amplifier system specially developed for industrial applications: powerful, precise,

reliable – and highly efficient. With all the modern features a measuring amplifier needs today.

That is PMX: top-quality measurement technology from HBM to optimize your production results.

You can count on more efficiency and quality!

… for measurement technology

PMX: Ideal for monitoring pressing and joining processes such as rolling,

punching and cutting metals or press-fitting bearings and sockets. PMX

also shows its strengths in quality monitoring for fast tablet presses,

coining presses or large multi-channel presses with integrated math

monitoring functions and real-time signal calculations.

For professional quality control and quality improvement during

and after the production process. Suitable for various types of sen-

sors and signals and a wide range of measurement tasks. Hundreds

of channels and integrated control and regulating functions make it

possible to use PMX in small and medium-size test benches.

Fast and reliable results … … for production and test benches

– the new industry standard …… for measurement technology

Measure and process mechanical measurement variables such as force, pressure,

temperature, flow rate, torque or time on your test bench. Automation is based on fast,

analog output signals or limit value as well as EtherCAT with an output rate of up to

10 kHz for all signals. Because PMX is multi-client capable, data can be stored in parallel

via Ethernet.

Early detection of machine damage allows for cost-effective preventive

maintenance, thereby minimizing machine downtimes. That's why you

should rely on PMX for condition monitoring and to boost the efficiency

of your production systems. Real-time monitoring with integrated

intelligence in the measuring amplifier reduces the load on the central

control system and speeds up control cycle times.

Innovative and future-proof … … PMX offers solutions on all levels

… the new standard with industrial EthernetThe PMX measuring amplifier system is ideally suited for integration into your production processes.

With a wide range of industrial Ethernet interfaces, PMX supports many commonly used automation

systems and communication protocols that are needed for industrial automation.

_ Easy integration, even into complex production and test bench

environments – the quick and uncomplicated way to measurement

results

_ Measurement data and relevant results are transferred in real time

_ Optimum control and parameterization of the measuring amplifier

with TEDS sensor detection and innovative web server operation

_ Boosts operating safety and transparency with internal device

diagnostics

PMX detects your transducers automatically via TEDS.

That saves time and prevents errors. PMX features

high resolution (24 bits) for accurate partial load

measurements. A sampling rate of 19.2 kHz for each

channel allows for high measuring bandwidths.Fast communication for more productivity Industrial Ethernet is your key to success:

_ Easy integration into all the components of a network ensures

a continuous flow of information from production to the

office world.

_ PMX is capable of response times in the millisecond range.

This prevents errors and helps you make fact-based decisions

faster.

_ Network-capable FastEthernet (TCP/IP at 100 MBit) for

operation, visualization and data storage in networked

structures, including remote maintenance.

_ Real-time Ethernet (ProfiNET, EtherCat up to 10 kHz) with

a high user data rate and diagnostics – for fast control and

regulation processes.

_ CAN interface for integrating additional CAN field modules

you can use to further increase the number of channels and

the complexity of your application.

PMX software solutions … … maximum operating convenience, minimum effort

Enhances productivity: Software for PMX.The PMX software concept sets new standards in

performance and usability.

Discover the benefits of maximum operating convenience!

Innovative web technology PMX features the innovative web technology GWT, which has been

implemented for the first time in an industrial device.

_ The PMX web server is zoomable for easy touchscreen operation.

It can be used on different browser-based devices.

_ And because it is based on Ethernet technology it is network-

capable, which makes a direct 1:1 connection possible. This

is ideal for remote maintenance via the company network or

Internet.

_ The web server can also be used on wireless devices via WLAN.

Easy integration into the control systemHBM measurement technology can be integrated into the control

system environment without difficulty using various software drivers

and the API programming interface. That makes it easy to implement

individual solutions and safeguard know-how.

Data analysis made easyWould you like to analyze your production data? PMX software

makes it simple to display and save your production data for moni-

toring purposes. This is a great advantage for service and mainte-

nance.

Flexible and cost-savingWhether you are a machine operator or installer, user administra-

tion always gives you access to all relevant device and diagnostic

data. This cuts down on the number of software tools you need and

reduces complexity and system faults.
