SomatXR CX27C-R: Parallel Data Analysis and Automation via EtherCAT® and PROFINET IRT

The SomatXR CX27C-R Industrial Ethernet gateway enables the integration of up to 199 signals from up to 24 SomatXR modules into a measurement chain, which can also be simultaneously acquired in real time. It is, therefore, perfectly suitable for both simple and complex development test benches with high demands on ruggedness, such as engine or powertrain test stands.

Owing to its Industrial Ethernet interface, the said module allows real-time cycle times of few milliseconds, even with distributed measurements. In addition, the CX27C-R supports parallel data streaming via Ethernet TCP/IP. When combined with the catman data acquisition (DAQ) software, the data collected can be viewed, analyzed, and recorded at sample rates of up to 100 kS/s per channel, without affecting the real-time automation tasks performed via EtherCAT® or PROFINET IRT.

Easy integration of all the SomatXR modules into a wide range of measurement environments is possible due to the variety of synchronization options available, such as EtherCAT™, PTPv2, IRIG-B, and NTP. Moreover, the automapping function ensures maximum convenience in the application. The module automatically configures individual channels.
