1 Tasks and Functions of the HMG 3010
1.1 Standard functions of the HMG 3010
The HMG 3010 portable data recorder is a hand-held unit for measurement and data acqui-
sition tasks on hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Applications are primarily in maintenance
and servicing, troubleshooting and test rigs.
The HMG 3010 can monitor signals from up to ten sensors simultaneously. The unit has 5
input jacks for connecting the sensors; if necessary this number can be doubled using a
Y adapter (if more than 5 sensors are required). HYDAC ELECTRONIC provides suitable
HSI sensors (HYDAC Sensor Interface) for pressure, temperature and flow rate which are
automatically recognised and for which the measuring range and unit are set by the
HMG 3010 - the easiest choice for customers.
You also have the option of connecting SMART sensors to the HMG 3010. These represent
a sensor generation from HYDAC which can output several different measured variables.
These sensors are also automatically recognized by the HMG 3010 via HSI, and the meas-
ured values including the measurement unit are shown in the display.
The HMG 3010 can render up to 32 measurement channels in total.
Depending on the sensor type, the sensor has an internal memory for the storage of re-
corded measurement data on a long-term basis. In addition, depending on the sensor type,
preset parameters can be changed and stored in the internal memory as a sensor configu-
ration.
Older model HYDAC sensors or commonly available sensors made by other manufacturers
can also be used. However, these sensors do not have any automatic sensor detection,
consequently the initial set-up has to be entered manually.
The operator can access all of the unit’s functions and settings by means of clearly pre-
sented selection menus. The HMG 3010 has a combination keypad for entering numeric
values and text, similar to a mobile phone.
The HMG 3010 is designed in particular for recording typical measurements (pressure,
temperature, flow rate) in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. A variety of other measurement
tasks can be performed using additional inputs for voltage measurement.
For example, checking the actuation of a switching valve or plotting the characteristic curve
of a valve setpoint. In addition, it is also possible to determine differential values between
the measured values of individual sensors. One example of this is taking a flow rate meas-
urement using a differential pressure orifice.
In addition to the analogue measurement inputs, the HMG 3010 features two digital inputs
(e.g. for measuring frequency or speed), thus expanding the unit’s range of potential appli-
cations.
When taking measurements of rapid, dynamic machine processes, all 8 analogue input
signals can be recorded simultaneously at a rate of 0.5 ms.
