The application of the traction / compression load takes place through two co-axial threaded holes –– located in the center of the transducer’s upper and lower supporting surfaces, in such a way as to allow the direct coupling with the machine or with load adapters specifically for the application (for example with junctions or spherical adapters).
There is only one single strain gauge bridge inside the measuring body, to which an analog amplifier can be added, or a high-resolution digital acquisition interface, with programmable AD converters of 20 or 24 bit maximum resolution.
If the transducer is requested with integrated electronics, the following options are available:
• Output in voltage0-5 V or 0-10 V
• Output in current 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA (2 wires)
• Digital output RS485 with Modbus protocol(RTU/ASCII)
• CAN Digital output, CAN open protocol (DS 406)
The digital electronics can be easily configured, including by the Client, in such a way as to allow an easy utilization within the data network that is inside the machine. The use of the digital electronics with a Field Bus Module makes it possible to have an effortless connection to the intelligent measurement systems inside the IT infrastructure (in conformity with that indicated for Industry 4.0), with the advantage of disposing of a programmable high-resolution converter, that is directly built into the transducer, thus being able to have the maximum immunity to electrical disturbances and disposing of measurements already expressed in the mechanical units involved.
