Measurements at the Source

Input Characteristics

The robust ES441 Counter and Frequency Module

with Sensor Supply has been designed to be installed in close proximity to the signals being
measured. Due to the integrated DC-power supply output for each channel, active and passive
sensors can be connected directly to the module.

Two different thresholds are used for switching

from the active to the inactive level and vice
versa (hysteresis). The difference between the
threshold levels determines the range of noise
suppression. The adjustment of the hysteresis
value relative to the noise level of the incoming
signals provides an efficient and convenient
means to enhance the quality of the measurement signals.

Multiple Measurements from the same Data

The ES441module is able to derive multiple
types of measurement signals simultaneously
from the same physical input all signals are
provided with identical time stamps. The multipurpose use of one input channel significantly
reduces the effective cost per channel when
more than one signal type is required.
To support typical automotive specific applications, the measurement of the average rotational speed is supported for many different
types of components, such as camshafts,
crankshafts, fans, and turbines. Rotational
speed can be used to calculate the vehicle
speed or flow rates. With the ES441, rotational speeds of up to 60x10 3 rpm provided by
a typical sensor wheel with an angular resolution of 0.1 can be measured.

Additionally, a software configurable glitch filter can be deployed to eliminate spikes caused
by bouncing effects of switches.
High Rates of Synchronous Data
The 100 Mbit/s Ethernet link can transfer mea
surement data from many ES400 modules with a
sampling rate of up to 10 kHz. All modules in a
measuring system whether an ES400 chain, multiple ES400 chains or a configuration also containing ES600 measurement modules are synchronized with an accuracy of 1 s. In combination
with an ETAS ECU and Bus Interface, such as an
ES590 module, sensor and ECU data can be acquired very easily and accurately synchronized.

Technical Data is rated for 25 C unless otherwise noted. All accuracy specifications valid for the first year after delivery.
