Description
The 777518-140 is a distinguished member of the FieldPoint category, specifically modeled as FP-SG-140. This unit is an 8 Ch Strain Gauge Input Module, noted for its utility in specialized applications, although it is not recommended for new designs. It facilitates an impressive array of functionalities tailored for precise sensing and measurement tasks.
Featuring 8-Channel capacity, this module is adept at handling multiple inputs simultaneously, enhancing efficiency and data collection rates. It supports a wide range of sensors including half-bridge and full-bridge strain gauges, force sensors, load cells, torque sensors, and quarter-bridge strain gauges (with external completion resistor), making it highly versatile across various applications.
The module employs pulsed excitation to power the sensors, with excitation voltage levels available at 2.5 V, 5 V, and 10 V. This feature, coupled with an excitation current capability of up to 21 mA, ensures that a broad spectrum of sensors can be accommodated and powered efficiently.
At its core, the 777518-140 harnesses a 16-bit delta-signal analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for precise data conversion, ensuring high fidelity in measurement readouts. Each channel is equipped with a lowpass filter to minimize noise and enhance signal quality, further bolstering the module’s reliability in critical applications.
The module’s update rates range from 0.87 Hz to 1.11 Hz, tailored for applications that require meticulous monitoring over extended periods. Its measurement capability is expressed in millivolts per volt, offering a nuanced and highly accurate method for assessing strain, force, and pressure through connected sensors.
