Product Description
The EVOMESURE ECM4000 is a central communications hub that orchestrates multiple Scanivalve pressure scanners over a single Ethernet connection. It manages control pressures, collects measurement data, and synchronizes timing across distributed scanner nodes for aerospace and industrial pressure measurement applications.
How does the ECM4000 manage multiple pressure scanners?
Instead of connecting to each pressure scanner individually, the ECM4000 serves as a single TCP/IP communication point. It routes commands to the appropriate scanner, collects data, and manages three internal pneumatic solenoids for control pressure switching — all through its integrated web server interface. This simplifies system architecture and reduces cabling in multi-scanner installations.
What does the script engine enable?
The built-in script execution engine automates measurement sequences without an external PC. Scripts can respond to digital input triggers, cycle digital outputs and control pressures, send Ethernet commands to scanners, query measurement data, and insert timed delays between operations. Once loaded, the ECM4000 runs autonomously.
How does IEEE1588 PTP improve measurements?
IEEE1588-2008v2 Precision Time Protocol synchronizes timestamps across all connected scanners to sub-microsecond accuracy. The ECM4000 can act as a PTP grandmaster clock or synchronize to an external master, enabling precisely correlated pressure measurements across widely distributed sensor arrays — critical for flight test and wind tunnel applications.
What are the environmental and power specifications?
The standard unit operates from 9–36 VDC at 6.5W and handles 0 to 70°C ambient. With the integrated heater option, power draw increases to 65W (18–36 VDC) and the operating range extends to -40°C. The module is rated for continuous operation at altitudes up to 50,000 feet, making it suitable for onboard flight test instrumentation.
