Description
The EBIS-TF8 system of the EBIS IoT product family enables the connection and evaluation of inductive sensors. In addition to the standard features of the EBIS product series, the EBIS-TF8 unit has 8 half-bridge or 8 LVDT interfaces. Furthermore to the sensor data acquisition, the system provides a trigger input (e.g. for footswitch) or 4 additional independent ADC-Channels (X3 Option). Due to the available versions and configuration options, a wide range of different sensors can be used and thus a wide variety of applications can be realized.
