Q.series - The Next Generation in Performance Measurement

The Q.bloxx series is designed for industrial and experimental testing applications, especially for
the precise measurement of electrical, thermal and mechanical quantities found in engineering
tests. Applications range from small stand-alone test equipment stands up to complex distributed
multi channel systems.

Communications between the Controller and Automation level are achieved by various technologies.
Starting from simple serial interfaces via fieldbus systems such as Profibus DP, EtherCAT or CANopen up to 1Gigabit- and Industrial Ethernet, open choice is possible

Q.Series - System Overview

Q.bloxx - The Measurement Level

The e.bloxx modules acquire sensor and process signals with precision, speed and stability. To ensure durability the inputs, the power supply, and the interface ports are all galvanically isolated from each other. The industrial design reduces EMI and temperature influences to a minimum. We guarantee that our modules will meet or exceed all published specifications over a temperature range of -20C to +60C. All units can be powered with 10 to 30 VDC.

Q.gate/e.pac - Data Concentration and Control Level

The Test Controllers of the e.series transform the e.bloxx measurement modules into a very efficient and powerful synchronized measurement and control system. They are the interface between the e.bloxxs and the supervisory system. Using the Ethernet TCP/IP port on the test controller, any PC can be connected to the measuring system. Optionally, other interfaces are available, such as EtherCAT, Profibus DP, CAN Open and USB 2.0.

Q.series Packaging - Adaptable to any Requirement

The overall design and packaging of a measurement system depends on the specific application requirement, the environment, and the overall end-user functionality. Because of this, Gantner offers our standard measurement modules in a number of different packaging configurations, making system design, start up and operation easy.
