DescriptionThe industrial charge amplifier for multi-purpose (ICAM-B) can be used wherever mechanical quantities are measured with piezoelectric sensors. Piezoelectric sensors produce an electric charge which varies in direct proportion to the load acting on the sensor. The charge amplifier Type 5073B converts a charge signal into a low-impedance voltage signal. It covers slow, quasi-static signals as well as dynamic processes. Depending on its variant, up to four sensors can be connected at the same time. The 5073B combines proven analog signal routing with parallel IIoT connection and remote data processing, providing solid performance on both paths. The web user-interface enables visualization of measurement data and provides secure and convenient access to numerous configuration options such as min/max, rms, integral values, low-pass and high-pass filter, evaluations and virtual channels. With its extensive set of features, 5073B is suitable for most installations that require analog signals and ethernet based communication. The IIoT licence upgrade unlocks OPC-UA and MQTT protocols for data streaming and parametrization.
