CSI-B-2 Interface Module

The condition monitoring interface module CSI-B-2 is another element in the HYDAC condition monitoring concept which connects the sensor level with the interpretation level. It is an all-purpose electronic instrument for converting the HSI signal from HYDAC SMART sensors into a standardized PC signal. Using the HYDAC "CMWIN" PC soft-ware, it is therefore possible to read the data and measured values of the connected SMART sensor directly.

The long-term memory can also be read as well as adjustments made and parameters set on the connected sensor (the setting options depend on the particular sensor).

The HSI signal can be converted either into an RS 232 or an RS 485 signal. The CSI-B-2 can be connected to any PC via the RS 232 interface (and possibly an additional standard RS 232/USB adapter1)). The RS 485 interface and appropriate additional coupling modules can also be used to connect to higher-level control and/or bus systems.

Special features:

• 1 input channel for HYDAC SMART sensors
• Direct connection of the sensor via screw-type terminals
• Indication of the active interface via LED (RS 232 / RS 485)
• Very compact design
• Suitable for mounting on standard DIN rails
• Protection class IP 40

1) RS 232/USB adapter is not supplied with the device.
