The PCI length measurement board APCI-3701 is designed for the acquisition of 16/8 inductive transducers (Half-Bridge, LVDT, Knäbel) with a 16-bit resolution. Furthermore, it has 16 digital inputs and outputs, optically isolated. The software ConfigTools included in delivery has a database for connecting/calibrating a large range of industry-standard transducers, such as Solartron, Tesa, Marposs, Schlumberger, Peter & Hirt, Mahr, RDP, Schaevitz, SMPR contrôle etc. The board is suited for dynamic measurement, e.g. for measuring moving parts or applications with time-critical measurement cycles – especially in test equipment with several sensors.
With the length measurement board APCI-3701, you can connect directly and acquire up to 16 half-bridge or LVDT transducers. The calibration software “ConfigTools” guides you through each step of the installation, beginning with the selection of a transducer from a database including more than 50 pre-calibrated transducers up to testing each single channel.
