TIM-EC

The TIM-EC interface module offers an extremely flexible solution for transmitting torque and speed signals digitally via the EtherCAT fieldbus system.

The TIM-EC module can be used in Fieldbus-based automation and control systems, such as, in test benches for electric and combustion engines, transmissions, pumps and compressors. EtherCAT makes very fast and accurate real-time communication with high output and bandwidth possible. This also permits the use of simulation models, for performing, early tests in the test bench before a prototype is available.

The TIM-EC is characterized by a low group delay, which can be a real plus when the performance of the control loop is concerned. In addition, it offers customers the opportunity to acquire torque and speed signals precisely and simply, including them in real time in the control and automation systems. This is also possible at a later time through the standard TMC interface. Another diagnosis interface is available in addition to the automation interface, which offers users greater flexibility.
