What is a Signal Conditioner?
A signal conditioner is a device that converts an electrical signal into another form of signal that is more useful to the user. Load cell signal conditioning may include amplification, attenuation, excitation, filtering and isolation.
Amplification
Generally, an amplifier is a device that converts a small signal into a proportionally larger signal.
Attenuation
Attenuation is the opposite of amplification.
Excitation
The external application of electrical voltage applied to a transducer for normal operation.
Filtering
Filters reject unwanted noise within a certain frequency range.
Isolation
Is used to break ground loops, blocks high-voltage surges and reject high common-mode voltage. This protects both the operators and the measuring equipment.
Digital Signal Converters
Micron Meters provides a range of Signal Converter Modules which take load cell or strain bridge inputs and provide a data output in a variety of bus and protocol formats.
Hardware formats include RS232, RS422 RS485, CAN and USB.
Signal converter protocols include Industry Standards such as MODBUS, or Mantracourt’s own proprietary protocols which have been optimised for either ease of use (MantraASCII2) or higher speed communications (MantraBus2).
Desktop & Handheld
DSCUSB Strain Gauge to USB Converter
DSCUSB is ideal for obtaining a simple connection directly into a PC. Powered from the USB port and with simple easy to use DSC Toolkit software available free of charge from our website makes the DSCUSB one of the simplest load cell signal converters available.
Note that the signal converters are also available in an OEM format, contact Micron Meters for details.
PSD Strain Gauge or Load Cell Indicator
The PSD232 is a handheld signal converter with an RS232 output. Data in an ASCII string format echo’s the current value being displayed. This ASCII string could be used by a serial display such as SERIALDIS, an ASCII datalogger, a PC, a PLC or a Printer. It’s ideal for the laboratory or test applications not requiring a permanent installation.
Embedded and PCB Modules
For OEM and system integrators we have a range of load cell signal converters that can be embedded directly into a sensor body such as a load cell using the DCell range or integrated onto a PCB or enclosure using the DSC range. Both these product ranges are available with RS485 or CAN bus connectivity with the DSC also offering RS232. Mantracourt offer a free configuration tool, see Instrument Explorer in our download section website and also found there is the logging software DSCLOG24 for multichannel logging.
Accessories
To support the load cell signal converter modules we have a number of accessories which includes the DS485DIS - a display unit that can sum channels or show individual values from DCell or DSC modules. Field connection boards such as DSJ1 and DSJ4, which make connections for the load cells, communication bus and power simple.
Evaluation Kit
To get started with these products take a look at the Evaluation kits that are available, everything you need to get going at a very competitive price! includes the DS485DIS a display unit that can sum channels or show individual values from DCell or DSC modules. Field connection boards such as DSJ1 and DSJ4 which make connections for the load cells, communication bus and power simple.
Digital Indicator
Two Available Formats: Handheld, Bulkhead
Surface Mount offer LCD and LED displays and the handhelds are available with LCD.
Handheld
The handhelds known as PSD & PSD232 load cell indicator modules (powered by two AA batteries) provides long life using innovative power saving features. The enclosure is sealed to IP65 / NEMA 4 and a carry case option is available. The display is TEDS enabled for automatic sensor calibration. RS232 output can be chosen as an option allowing connection to any RS232 interface whether it’s a PC or simple data logger. See the PSD232 for more details on these load cell indicator modules.
Bulkhead Displays
For building a system based on T24 or DSC/Dcell requiring a display, we offer The SERIALDIS and DS485DIS. The SERIALDIS displays ASCII data sent from PC, PLC or the T24-SO. The DS485DIS connects directly to DSC/Dcell via RS485 using the MantraBUS-II protocol, to enable the display of individual load cells or the total of a group of load cells. This is ideal for creating a weighing indicator modules.
Surface Mount Modules
For surface mount digital weighing indicator modules take a look at the SMW range. For a high resolution 500,000 counts load cell indicator module, there is the SMW-HR.
Load Cell Controllers
The weighing controllers and alarm modules offer precision control of weighing, temperature and other process variables together with a host of advanced features not normally found in this class of weighing controller. These weighing controllers offer simple calibration and configuration with options for additional outputs such as 4-20 mA/ 0-10 V analogue outputs and communications ports for connection to PC’s, PLC’s printers and remote displays.
With our products the emphasis is on simplicity and ease of use. A simple 'QuickStart' section in the manual can be used to configure all the functions essential for controlling your process. This includes input sensor type, measurement range, control options and alarms - making 'Out of the Box' operation truly achievable. If you prefer, you can specify what you need at point of order and we will ship the unit preconfigured to your requirements.
LCA20 Load Cell Weighing Controller
One of the most popular products is the LCA20. This load cell amplifier and weighing indicator (LCA20) offers options of local or remote LCD displays, isolated 4-20 mA 0-10 V analogue outputs, relay outputs for control or alarm functions and in-flight compensation commonly used in crane overload alarms. The RS232 or RS485 options provide for digital communications (including setup) and can support label or ticket printers.
Controls and Alarms
It is both a safety and a regulatory requirement to control. For monitoring of multi-load cell installations such as silos, tanks and other systems where the failure of a load cell could be catastrophic then take a look at the LCI.
LCI Load Cell Controller Modules
The LCI load cell controller modules constantly samples the individual load cell channels and activates an alarm if any failure conditions are detected. For a simple summing circuit with no trimming and no corner compensation, use the Load Cell Junction PCB, model JPP Load Cell Junction PCB, and for trimming and corner compensation, use the Active Junction Box, model JBA Load Cell Junction Box.
