Heidenhain MSE 1000 gauging connection system unveiled

The MSE 1000 modular connection system is said to represent a versatile and cost-effective solution to a range of simple and complex analogue and digital measurement applications. Enabling fast and flexible Ethernet-to-PC connection for up to 250 axes/data channels, MSE 1000 can be installed as a series of modules for configuration to specific needs covering, for example, temperature and pressure, sorting switches, warning lamps and PLCs.

The modules allow connection of incremental, absolute and analogue measuring devices, the output of switch signals and communication over a diverse range of interfaces. MSE 1000 modules can be mounted on a standard rail or bracket: each module plugs into another and is fixed with a lock which also connects the internal bus and power supply.
