OEM Boards, Analog

OEM boards with analogue output

An analogue board is the shortest route from the load cell into an existing control system: the module supplies the strain gauge bridge, amplifies the mV/V signal and outputs it as 4…20 mA or 0…10 V – on an input that almost every PLC and every controller already has. No fieldbus, no configuration software, no address assignment.

• Without a housing, for installation in your device, your control cabinet or your machine
• Bridge excitation and amplification on the board, connection in 4-wire or 6-wire configuration
• Output 4…20 mA or 0…10 V, zero point and characteristic curve matched to the application
• For series machines the most compact and least expensive solution, because no second mounting space and no second wiring level are needed

Analogue or digital

Analogue is the right choice as long as one measured value per channel is needed and the control system has a free analogue input. As soon as you also need diagnostics, remote configuration or several values per device, a digital output is the better option – IO-Link requires only an unshielded three-wire cable for that.

An overview of all modules can be found under OEM boards. Finished devices with a housing are listed under weighing transmitters and strain gauge amplifiers, matching sensors under load cells & force transducers.
