Analog Input Modules digitize strain gauge signals.
Press Release Summary:
Respectively featuring 2 and 4 full-bridge strain gauge inputs, X20AIA744 and X20AIB744 can be used to digitize signals from strain gauges. Both analog input modules work with 4-wire strain gauge load cells and feature 24-bit converter resolution. Compensation in measurement system eliminates absolute uncertainty, such as component tolerances, effective bridge voltage, or zero offset, in measurement circuit.
Original Press Release:
B&R Introduces X20 Modules for Strain Gauges
B&R has added 2 new analog input modules to its X20 I/O series that can be used to digitize signals from strain gauges: the X20AIA744 with 2 full-bridge strain gauge inputs and the X20AIB744 with 4 full-bridge strain gauge inputs. Up to 4 strain gauge channels can now be housed in a module just as thin as a single-channel unit. Users save both equipment costs and control cabinet space.
The X20AIA744 and X20AIB744 modules work with 4-wire strain gauge load cells. Compensation in the measurement system eliminates absolute uncertainty in the measurement circuit, such as component toler-ances, effective bridge voltage or zero offset. The modules each have 24-bit converter resolution.
Two new X20 modules are now available for digitizing strain gauge signals.
