Thermo-Scan SMB/CAN



  • 14 NiCr-Ni inputs: -100 °C to +1372 °C

  • Data communication via Serial Measuring Bus (SMB) to calibration systems, PCs, ...

  • Cascading of up to 8 devices in SMB mode or up to 100 devices via CAN Bus

  • For Calibration and Measuring systems from Bosch, ETAS, IAV, Siemens, dSPACE,.

  • NEW: High-Speed CAN bus connection!
DESCRIPTION:

The Thermo-Scan provides 14 inputs for connection of NiCr-Ni thermocouples (type K). Due to digital alignment and linearization with online cold junction compensation, Thermo-Scan achieves a typical measuring accuracy of ±1 C throughout the entire measuring range from -100 C up to +1372 C. A broken sensor connection is automatically recognized and shown on the display. Approx. every 100 ms the temperature values are updated.

AD-Scan and Thermo-Scan belong to the ScanMess device family, as well as Baro-Scan and Dual-Scan. They collect measurement data and transmit it to a host (PC/laptop, data logger), running special recording software. The communication between AD-Scan and Thermo-Scan devices and the host is either done using the SMB Bus (Serial Measuring Bus defined by Bosch) or NEW and alternatively via a High-Speed CAN bus.

The currently measured values and the state of operation are permanently shown on the back-lit LCD.

The power supply of 8 V to 32 V can be passed through from device to device, according to all ScanMess devices.

Because of their easy handling and the good ratio of cost to performance the ScanMess devices are suitable for numerous applications, particularly for automotive measurement systems.

SOFTWARE INTERFACE

The measurement values are available as physical values, volt for AD-Scan and degrees Celsius for Thermo-Scan.
Especially via the CAN bus, the measured values are transmitted completely, with full resolution and with a transmission rate up to 1Mbit/sec. The CAN bus parameters can be configured via the serial RS-232 interface.

Both the SMB protocol and the CAN bus transmission can be integrated very simple and efficiently into specific applications.
The leading manufactures of Calibration Tools for automotive engineering offer interfaces for the ScanMess devices, e.g. Bosch, ETAS, IAV, ATI, Siemens, dSPACE, Kleinknecht, etc.

COMMUNICATION VIA SMB BUS

The communication via the SMB bus is done interoperable and without limitation to all other SMB bus devices of the ScanMess family.

Using selectable device addresses it is possible to cascade up to 8 devices on a standard RS232C interface. Also different types of the ScanMess family can be used in an arbitrary order. The control of the measurement process and data recording is done by standard software like DIAdem© or special custom software, e.g. INCA from ETAS.

COMMUNICATION VIA CAN BUS

New: Using version 3.00 or later, the measurement data can be transmitted with full resolution and speed via High-Speed CAN bus.

This enables new applications, e.g. with CSM UniCAN Professional CAN bus data logger for diagnosis and data acquisition. With this device it is possible to record data from AD-Scan and/or Thermo-Scan, with a direct time relationship to each other. Long term recording as well as data acquisition with high data rates are stored on ATA Flash Cards up to 2 GB.
