The CMD600 from HBM is a robust, digital charge amplifier for piezo sensors with an integrated Ethernet interface. It acquires signals from a connected sensor and makes them available to a downstream machine control as an analog voltage signal (0 to ±10 V) up to a measuring bandwidth of 30 kHz, or in digital form as measured value streaming, via Ethernet. The CMD600 is compact, robust and noise-immune, making it suitable for industrial applications. Sensitivity and measuring range can be easily adjusted using the software, without loss of accuracy, in a range of 1:10,000. This charge amplifier is particularly suitable for measuring mechanical quantities such as force and pressure.
