HYDAC Data Recorders

HMG 500 Series

The HMG 500 Portable Data Recorder is a hand-held measuring unit for simple measuring tasks on hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Typical applications are in analysis, maintenance and service.
The HMG 500 has two analog input channels and can record the signals from HYDAC HSI sensors which are connected to it. HSI sensors (HYDAC Sensor Interface) are HYDAC sensors for pressure, temperature, and flow rate with automatic sensor recognition.
The HMG 500 automatically reads the measuring range and unit from each sensor that is connected. Manual adjustments of the measuring range settings are no longer required.

The measured values, actual, minimum and maximum, are recorded from the sensors. Depending on the requirement and setting, the following are displayed: the actual measured values (channel A, B), the minimum or the maximum values (channel A, B). The min/max values can be reset at any time at the touch of a button.

Furthermore the HMG 500 is capable of measuring and displaying the differential between the values on channel A and B (channel A – B).

HMG 510 Series

The HMG 510 Portable Data Recorder is a hand-held unit for simple measurement tasks on hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Typical applications are primarily to be found in analysis, maintenance and servicing.

The HMG 510 features two analog inputs. HSI sensors (HYDAC Sensor Interface) or SMART sensors can be connected to these inputs. HSI sensors are HYDAC sensors featuring automatic sensor recognition. Consequently, manual adjustments of the measurement range settings are no longer required.

Furthermore the HMG 510 is capable of measuring and displaying the differential between the values on channel A and B (channel A-B), providing two sensors featuring the same unit of measurement are connected.

In addition, the HMG 510 features a tare function enabling it to be zeroed.

The HMG 510 features a USB interface in addition to the HMG 500. The HMG 510 is also designed to work with the HYDACLab® and the CS1000 particle counter.

HMG 3000 Series

The HMG 3000 data recorder is a portable unit for simple measurement and data capturing tasks involving hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Applications extend primarily to maintenance and servicing, troubleshooting and test stands, as well as, quality inspecting.

The HMG 3000 can concurrently evaluate signals up to 10 sensors. The unit features 5 input jacks for connecting the sensors; if necessary this number can be doubled using a Y adapter for measurement operations involving more than 5 sensors. HYDAC offers matching HSI sensors (HSI = HYDAC Sensor Interface) for pressure, temperature and flow rate which are automatically recognized by the HMG 3000. Standard HYDAC sensors can also be used. However, these sensors do not feature any automatic sensor detection, consequently the initial setup has to be entered by hand.

Features

The HMG 3000 is user-friendly by virtue of its easy-access selection menus leading to all of the unit’s functions and settings. The unit features a combination keypad for entering numeric values and text.

The HMG 3000 was designed in particular for capturing typical measurement values (pressure, temperature, flow rate) in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. A variety of other measurement tasks can be performed by virtue of additional inputs for voltage measurement. Example: checking the actuation of a switching valve or plotting the characteristic curve of a valve setpoint. In addition, it is also possible to determine differential values between the measured values of individual sensors. One example of this is taking a flow measurement using a differential pressure orifice plate.

In addition to the analog measurement inputs, the HMG 3000 features two digital inputs, enabling frequencies or speeds to be recorded, thus expanding the unit’s range of potential applications. When taking measurements of rapid, dynamic machine processes, all 8 analog input signals can be concurrently captured at a rate of 0.5 ms.

A special feature of the HMG 3000 is its ability to record measurements of highly dynamic processes in a machine. To this end, two input channels are featured which are capable of recording measured values at a rate of 0.1 ms. This feature is dependent on the use of suitable, fast-acting sensors.

Another feature offered by the HMG 3000 is its ability to record the dynamic processes of a machine in the form of a measurement curve and render them as a graph – on line and in real time.

HMG Software

The HMG 3000 communicates with a computer via a USB or serial port. HYDAC offers HMGWIN 3000, the matching software for the HMG 3000, for convenient post-processing, rendering and evaluation of measurements at your computer. It also enables the HMG 3000 to be operated directly from your computer.

The HMG 3000 is equipped with specially developed software providing for fast data collection and processing. A measurement curve can comprise up to 500,000 measured values. The HMG 3000’s measured value memory is capable of storing at least 100 of these measurement curves.

Display Options

In addition to enabling simple measurement curves to be recorded, the HMG 3000 also features other functions enabling event-driven measurements to be taken and event logs to be recorded. Various trigger options are available for triggering events.
