GL7-DCB

    This is the input module for the sensors based on the strain gauge capable of
    measuring a variety phenomena as acceleration, pressure, force. It is able to
    connect the sensor directly and also able to measure the voltage, and resistance.
    Elements of the bridge circuit for the strain gauge are built in the module, and
    it also has the excitation power for the strain gauges and sensors. It allows to make
    easily measurement.

    Filter function

    It is able to have high-precision measurement using various filters as low-pass,
    and anti-aliasing filter.

      Subject to the conditions:
      ● Room temperature is 23ºC ±5ºC. ● When 30 minutes or more have elapsed
      after power was turned on.
      ● Filter is set to 10 or Line. ● Sampling rate is set to 1 second.
      ● GND terminal is connected to ground.

       

      ● Remote sensing is not available when a NDIS connector is used. ● When a bridge box is used,
      the connection needs to be 4-wire or 6-wire full bridge. When connecting with a Half bridge
      (Opposite side), an additional bridge box is required. ● Bridge excitation: Constant current
      drives a strain gauge type sensor or a 4-wire full bridge. ● The shunt calibration is available
      only when the connection is using a 3-wire, 4-wire quarter bridge, 5-wire full bridge, or 6-wire
      full bridge.
