Integrated control
28 April 2015
HBM reports that its PMX measuring system now features an integrated control unit in compliance with the international standard IEC 61131 to simplify automation tasks with PLCs.

In line with the new standard, which represents the union of noise free measurement technology and worldwide standardised control technology in process and factory automation, PMX users can utilise the Codesys V3 software platform. Based on the IEC61131-3 programming system the new software platform enables programming, fieldbus and I/O configuration, MotionControl and other tasks. Additional benefits mean that Codesys software can be used to create plug ins.
Codesys is a software platform specifically designed to fulfil the many different requirements of modern industrial automation projects and offers integrated, simple solutions to support users in the development of tasks.
The new system which enables professional engineering in an expandable platform means that users can now use the CANopen interface to receive data or send CAN data in PMX. In addition, users can also create visualisation interfaces, which can be easily integrated into the PLC programming system and displayed onto a PC or in a web browser, providing a simple, cost effective solution.
Eliminating the need for complicated software licensing, the Codesys runtime license is included in the WGX001 PMX device from HBM.
The PMX system features high measurement accuracy and long term stability, which boosts production line efficiency. In addition, it can perform measurement, preconditioning and analysis in real time using the 32 internal computing channels, offering additional cost saving benefits to the user.
