The Torque/RPM adapter enables the connection of HBM’s T12, T40B or similar torque transducers to GEN DAQ mainframes. The use of differential signals improves the immunity to external disturbance especially when using long cables in electrically noisy environments. For easy connectivity of transducers the adapter can optionally route power over the transducer cables, this avoids the need of separate power cables. This power input is separately connected to the adapter per transducer.
Whenever a test cell control system requires
parallel access to the torque and/or speed
signals, the adapter reconditions the incoming
signals and outputs all input signals as RS422
differential signals.

Each of the torque and speed inputs are
directly connected to the GEN DAQ high
resolution timer/counter channels. The speed
input supports direction and reference pulse to
enable rotational angle measurement. The torque input supports shunt-calibration to optimize accuracy. In addition to HBM torque sensors, the adapter allows use with any binary, frequency or a, b, z based sensor. E.g. for more accurate/higher resolution rotational speed and angle measurement, standard industrial incremental encoders with RS422 signals can be used simultaneously with the HBM torque transducer. All event inputs provided by the GEN DAQ mainframe that are not used to connect to the torque and speed signals are rewired to a pin compatible event I/O connector.
