FMB-MA
The FMB-MA centralises the configuration of the entire acquisition chain and drives every Metro module (LVDT, incremental, air gauging, force, instruments), with a single master handling up to 255 measurement inputs, covering very broad and varied applications.
On the PC side, it communicates using the ASCII protocol, with simple text commands, directly compatible with market SPC software such as Q-DAS or Sylcom, over Ethernet or USB, with no dedicated driver to install. Modbus TCP communication is also available for integration into a supervision system.
The FMB-MA includes an integrated web server, accessible from a browser with no software installation. It identifies the connected modules, their assignment and their full configuration, and allows a pneumatic module to be calibrated or the sensitivity of a strain gauge transducer to be adjusted. Commissioning, diagnostics and maintenance can all be carried out from any PC or tablet on the network.
Like every M-Bus module, the FMB-MA is built from an anodised aluminium profile and mounts on a DIN rail. It connects directly to neighbouring modules through its M-Bus ports, or can be remoted by cable to sit as close as possible to the transducers.
