1 General
This manual is a constituent part of the device. It contains texts and graphics concerning
the correct handling of the product and must be read before operation of the device.
The manual offers information concerning the safe operation of the portable data
recorder HMG 4000.
By using this manual as recommended, you will ensure that the HMG 4000 is put into
effective and safe operation as quickly as possible.
1.1 Standard functions
The HMG 4000 portable data recorder is a mobile measurement and data gathering
device for measuring tasks for hydraulic and pneumatic systems and machines as well as
in industrial and mobile areas.
The applications are primarily to be found in the areas Service, Maintenance, Fault-
finding or in the test bench area.
The HMI 4000 can record the signals of up to 38 sensors at once.
For this purpose, HYDAC ELECTRONIC offer special sensors, which are automatically
detected by the HMG 4000 and whose parameters such as measurement values,
measuring ranges and measuring units can be set.
On the one hand, there are the HYDAC HSI-Sensors (HYDAC Sensor Interface) for the
measurement of pressure, temperature and flow rate, for the connection of which there
are 8 analogue input channels.
Furthermore, there is the option of connecting HYDAC SMART sensors to these inputs.
SMART sensors can display several different measured variables at a time.
Up to 28 special HYDAC HCSI-Sensors (HYDAC CAN Sensor Interface) can be connected
additionally via the CANbus port, also supporting automatic sensor detection.
HMG 4000 can optionally be connected to an existing CAN network. This enables the
recording of measured data transmitted via CAN bus (e.g. motor speed, motor pressure)
in combination with the measured data from the hydraulic system.
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.
