Strain gauge amplifier

• Teaching of zero point with an external input for PLC connection or via an onboard-button
• Zero correction is stored permanently also after a power-off
• No limitation of the taring cycles

The new strain gauge amplifier from X-Sensors was developed for universal and easy commissioning. With this new generation, the zero point adjustment can be carried out using a button in the housing and by an input for PLC.

The zero point correction is always saved permanently. At the same time, there is no limitation of the taring cycles, which makes this strain gauge measuring amplifier a real universal device for all kind of applications.

Applications

The amplifiers of X-Sensors are suitable for the universal signal conditioning of strain gauges sensors. They are therefore suitable for amplifying the mV-sensor signal of any force and strain sensors and load cells. Thanks to the compact inline housing, the installation of the amplifier can be carried out directly at the measuring point to save space.

The measuring amplifiers are predestined for use of all kind of static and dynamic applications:

• Dynamic application with fast and recurring force cycles (e.g. presses)
• Weight measurement
• Measurement of mechanical loads in structures
• Limit value monitoring to avoid critical conditions in systems and structures

Zero point adjustment

The zero point adjustment for these amplifiers is performed by a digital zero point-adjustment mechanism. The zero point setting is stored permanently, the zero point correction is also available after a power-off event. Thus, a constantly available installation tare is available. The number of taring operations is unlimited.

The reset input does trigger a zero point adjustment by the PLC. It is available with an “Active Low” (< 3 V) and “Active High” (> 10 V) Logic.
