This year we present the new product family Q.series,

Data exchange between the measurement modules, the controller, and the automation system can be accomplished in a number of different ways from a simple serial interface‚ (e.g. Modbus), Ethernet TCP/IP or UDP, or a number of industrial fieldbus systems (e.g EtherCAT, Profibus DP, CANopen).

All modules are 'Hot Swappable' with auto-leading configurations and addressing, making system scalability and serviceability extremely efficient and effective - at system up or several years on the road.

Q.staxx, robust design for pallet handling systems

To reduce setup time and save test stand costs test skids (or pallets) are often pre-wired outside of the actual test cell to improve cell productivity, reducing cell down time and overall wiring/preparation costs.

In this approach a completely functional measurement system is configured, wired and verified prior to entering the system into the test cell. Once in the cell, only a single connection to the automation system (typically Ethernet) is required before starting up the test.

Q.raxx, the compact 19"System (1U)

offers with 16 I/O modules (24 bit/100 kHz), 16 carrier frequency amplifiers or 64 configurable digital I/Os a high channel density in a small package.

Concerning the small housing depth of 210 mm a very space saving concept can be chosen.
