Product Overview

An Ideal System for Every Measurement Task

The modular imc ARGUSfit concept lets engineers reconfigure systems anytime – without cables or tools – by simply docking modules. Fast amplifiers with up to 500 kHz per channel capture vibrations, sound, accelerations, and voltages, while imc CANSASfit modules handle slower signals like temperature. For maximum flexibility, modules can also be distributed: fast units connect via fiber optics over hundreds of meters, immune to interference; CANSASfit modules dock directly or connect via CAN.

With its ultra-compact, robust housing, imc ARGUSfit fits into tight spaces while offering many channels. Combined with stand-alone operation, it is ideal for 24/7 monitoring or mobile data acquisition in vehicles and machines.

Product Applications

Monitoring Machines and Equipment

manufacturing_plant-min

To ensure the smooth operation of expensive or safety-critical machinery and equipment such as wind turbines, turbines, valves, etc., continuous monitoring is crucial. This task places high demands on measurement technology, especially with regard to reliable and failure-proof operation. ARGUSfit provides you with a solution that is based on a robust real-time operating system and has been specially developed for stand-alone 24/7 operation.

Thanks to the imc Online FAMOS real-time platform, ARGUSfit offers the possibility of performing real-time analysis and monitoring critical values autonomously. This enables early detection of any abnormalities and a proactive response to potential problems. In addition, there is the option to distribute the components and amplifiers of the ARGUSfit system via optical fiber connections, immune to any electromagnetic interference. This allows measurements to be made with just one single system even in extensive facilities or across multiple sites.

Prototype Testing

Whether car, motorcycle, construction machine or electric bike - in prototype testing, it is often a great challenge to place and install a DAQ system. With the particularly compact housing and high channel density of the imc ARGUSfit systems, this task is now easier than ever before. Even for 100 temperature channels, no more space is required than for a usual shoe box. The stand-alone operating system allows data to be stored directly on an SD card, so no additional PC is required. In addition, thanks to the GPS connectivity, position data, distances, and speeds can be recorded in real-time.

A clickable UPS module protects your measurements and data from unexpected power failures, buffering up to 30 seconds or with outages beyond that time, shutting down in an orderly fashion.

Another advantage of imc ARGUSfit is the availability of a clickable CAN-FD fieldbus module. This allows you not only to record data from analog sensors but also from the vehicle bus. This comprehensive recording and analysis of vehicle data is required to provide deeper insights into the behavior of a prototype. The modular expandability with further such interface modules makes the imc ARGUS system particularly flexible for responding to growing test requirements with very many buses. The spatial distribution of these CAN interfaces via fiber optics also allows installation close to the signal sources to avoid potential EMI interference or limitations of Baud rate. In this way, ARGUSfit helps users in vehicle testing to identify potential for improvement more quickly and to gain valuable insights that drive further development of the product.

Vibration and Shock Measurements

ARGFT-ICPU-6_002-min

Vibrations and shocks are often undesirable in vehicles, machines, and infrastructures, as they stress structures and materials, lead to premature wear, and can potentially cause serious damage. To minimize these issues during product development or monitor them during operation, precise vibration measurements are essential. They enable the determination of resonant frequencies, the evaluation of material stress, and an estimation of service life.

The low-noise ICP data acquisition module from imc ARGUSfit, which offers a sampling rate of up to 500 kHz per channel, provides you with the ideal equipment for multi-channel vibration measurements. Even over long distances of hundreds of meters, you can use the system in a distributed manner to perform comprehensive measurements. Extensive NVH analysis functions provide additional support and facilitate the evaluation of the test results.

With imc ARGUSfit, you have a powerful tool at hand to effectively record and analyze shocks and vibrations. This enables you to identify potential problems at an early stage, take appropriate measures, and improve the reliability and service life of your products and systems.

Product Benefits

Clever Click Connection

ARGUSfit-clickability-demonstration-min

Engineers and technicians value modular systems that enable them to perfectly adapt their data acquisition system to their changing tasks at any time. But a common source of frustration and potential errors is any extra cable connections between modules. At imc, we listen to our customers and turn their wishes into innovations, by developing the imc clicking system for module connections. What makes it special is that it connects the modules not only mechanically, but also electrically and data-wise, completely without tools. Goodbye, unnecessary cables - welcome, click connection!

Real-time Analysis within the Device

Online_FAMOS_Transitional-Recording

Rainflow_Matrix

Get results while the measurement is still running. With the integrated imc Online FAMOS signal analysis platform, you can calculate and analyze your measurement data in real-time. Use a convenient wizard to create your personal real-time analyzer: simply drag and drop from a comprehensive collection of mathematical and statistics functions as well as ready-made analyses such as FFT, classification and order tracking. This makes it possible to create your own evaluation algorithms and set up smart data analysis without any programming at all.

This means that reduced, refined and intuitive results are available during the live running measurement - bevor it has even completed. Thus, during a test drive for example, you get direct feedback on the test in progress, allowing the user to immediately respond to it, like adapting driving maneuvers accordingly.
