Integrating digital weighing and control

Weighing

  • Use our Delta-Sigma-Technology to integrate weighing into your custom control board
  • Or use our standard product with RS485 output
  • 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, ...800 measurements per second
  • Noise free resolution up to 17 bits at 12.5 measurements/s, up to 13 bits at 800/s
  • Higher resolution using a digital moving average
  • Linearity typ. 0.0007% full scale (14 bits @ 2mv/v load cell)
  • Wide input overload range to ±40mV
  • Up to four separate Δ-Σ-ADCs for accurate silo measurements
  • Windows® software for calibration and value display
  • Serial protocol compatible to LEON signal conditioners

 

Load cells offer delicate signal levels that are not easily sent over long lines. Our Delta-Sigma design provides high resolution and intrinsic filtering with immediate digitalisation. In addition its full real-time-kernel based microcontroller core allows digital post processing right at the point of measurement. We provide this technology as part of a special design for you or as a standard product with RS485 output.
Loadcell 1/2

from 299 € *

Loadcell

Our standard product integrates 1 to 4 separate Delta-Sigma-ADCs with a microcontroller, flash memory and a real-time kernel to allow all kinds of processing at the measuring point.

The "Loadcell" signal conditioning box provides hardware with firmware for most standard weighing applications. It comes in a small version with 1 or 2 channels and a slightly bigger one with 3 or 4 channels. While a standard protocol (LEON compatible) is provided, the integrated full-fledged microcontroller allows for specials to the point of complete automation tasks.

RS485 isn't easily available on a development PC and standard 232/485 converters often don't handle the transmitter muting. This little box provides the conversion and the filtered supply - using an external power supply of about 10..12V.

While the main controller in your industrial installation usually will "talk" RS485, a PC usually won't. To get your test site up and running quickly, get "232FEED485" and start calibrating.

Software

If you don't need the measured values to be integrated into your PC application, you might simply use the main window of our calibration tool as a value display. The program allows selection of one of the scales on the RS485 line and typical weighing operations like tare and zero.

Our Windows® counterpart to the LOADCELL firmware provides scale setup tools that are split into a wizard mode and an advanced setup window. The wizard will lead you from the selection of the number of cells used for your scale through type, excitation etc. Calibration can be done electrically from the cell's data sheet or with the use of reference weights.

Custom hardware integration:
LOADCELL special

Please contact us to discuss the various possibilities to organically integrate weighing into your custom electronics. Choices are: Modification of our standard board to suit your needs (like special I/O or communication), relocation of the loadcell circuit to a base board that works with our processor modules or finally a full custom design.
