AMS84-USB
5B Amplifier Measurement System (USB)
All-In-One Measurement System.
Compact. DAQ via USB.
The AMS84-USB, a complete solution:
amplifier technology and data acquisition. A
high-quality USB data acquisition system is
already integrated. Available in a robust
aluminum housing as a mobile tabletop unit
with skid-proof, tip-up feet.
Modular Concept.
Equip Individually. Be Flexible.
The AMS device is equipped with cassettes,
on which the required 5B measuring amplifiers
are mounted. The variety of available 5B
modules allows for the optimum adaptation of
the AMS84-USB to any special measuring
task.
Choose Connector.
Mount 5B Amplifier. Done.
The available plug-in cassettes have different
connectors on the front panel. Depending on
the sensor or signal to be connected, the
Functional diagram
suitable cassette can be chosen. Now the 5B
module only has to be fixed on the cassette
and be integrated in the AMS system.
Clearly Safe.
The galvanic isolation provided by the 5B
modules guarantees interference-free
operation and protects the DAQ system and
the PC against high potentials.
Analog. 16 Inputs. 2 Outputs.
Signals are connected at 8 amplifier inputs
with 16 bit resolution and 250kHz total
sampling rate. Additional 8 analog inputs and
2 analog outputs are available directly and
without amplification at a D-Sub 37 female.
Digital. 4 Inputs. 4 Outputs.
1 Counter.
Digital states are recorded or set at four digital
inputs and outputs each. For pulse
measurements, an additional isolated counter
input is provided.
Plug & Play with USB.
The connection to the PC is realized via USB.
The AMS84-USB provides all typical USB
features (e.g. Plug&Play, Hot-Plug).
Optimal for Windows.
The drivers and programming interface is
optimized for 64Bit under Windows® 10/11.
All software for installation and programming
of the AMS84-USB is included free of charge.

  • Page 5 AMS84-USB Analog Channels 3.5.1 Measuring Amplifier Inputs Sixteen analog signals can be connected to the amplifier inputs available at the respective connectors AMS-K of the cassette panels. Their assignment is illustrated in the data sheet of the cassettes (see chapter 6.2).
  • Page 6 4 Interfacing Examples for the Digital Lines of the AMS84-USB The following basic connection examples demonstrate the use of the digital inputs and outputs and the connection of a counter to the AMS84-USB. The pin assignment of the 15-pin D-Sub female connector is described in chapter 3.6.
  • Page 7 In this regard, please also see application examples of the optocoupler you use. Optocoupler cards featuring 8 inputs are available at bmcm. 4.2.2 Connecting a Push-Button / Switch Please make sure to use a push-button with debounce protection, because otherwise several pulses might be recorded.
  • Page 8 Relay cards featuring 8 outputs are available at bmcm. 4.3.3 Connecting a Lamp A transistor can be used to switch higher loads. The selected transistor must comply with the maximum switchable current.
  • Page 9 The fusing of the AMS backplane is effected on the backplane (see chapter 5) with one reversible semi-conductor fuse. In case of overload, it turns off. To make the fuse work effectively again, first remove the cause for overload before disconnecting the power supply of the AMS84-USB. Connection for AMS Cassettes...
