Measuring and interface modules

The IBR- Measuring Bus [ IMBus ] is a innovative series of measuring and interface modules with great flexibility, developed for the high demands of industrial applications.

The specially developed module case is very robust and can be installed easily without tools. The modules can be placed onto a table or can be clicked onto mounting rails. The electronics satisfies all demands of practice regarding flexibility, speed and resolution at maximum measuring accuracy. The address assignment on the IMBus occurs automatically ( Plug & Play).

The modular design of 1 to 512 connections and the possibility to connect the modules via cables with a maximum length of 1200 m ( 4000 ft) allow universal use of the IMBus.

A full range of software, for simple applications up to complex measuring applications with control sequences, completes the innovative IMBus series, thus turning it into a universal tool for collection, analysis and display of measuring data.

Designed with flexibility in mind

A complete range of software for simple applications up to complex measuring applications with control sequences completes the new IMBus series to a universal tool for measuring data collection, analysis and displaying.

Easily connect with the C200 column gauge, MECC (8″) and MEIC (17″) measuring computers
