Introduction
1-channel precise load cell analysis (resistor bridge), 24 bit
The EP3356 EtherCAT Box enables direct connection of a resistor bridge or load cell in a 4-wire connection technology. The ratio between the bridge voltage UD and the supply voltage UREF is determined simultaneously in the input circuit and the final load value is calculated as a process value on the basis of the settings in the EP3356. With automatic self-calibration (can be deactivated), dynamic filters and distributed clock support, the EP3356 with measuring cycles of 100 µs can be used for fast and precise monitoring of torque or vibration sensors.
The EP3356-0022 can also be used to analyze up to four resistor bridges connected in parallel. See chapter Basic function principles.
