Description
The FieldPoint module identified by the part number 187608G-01 (777518-140) is the FP-SG-140. This module is specifically designed as an 8 Ch Strain Gauge Input Module, although it is noted as “Not for New Design”. It is equipped to handle 8 channels, making it versatile for various applications.
It supports a wide range of sensor types including Half-bridge, Full-bridge, and Quarter-bridge configurations (the latter requiring an external completion resistor). Additionally, it can work with force sensors, load cells, and torque sensors, offering a broad spectrum of usability in different scenarios.
The module provides pulsed excitation up to 21 mA with selectable voltage levels at 2.5 V, 5 V, or 10 V, catering to a variety of sensor requirements. It incorporates a 16-bit delta-signal analog-to-digital converter (ADC), ensuring precise data conversion from analog to digital format for further processing.
Each channel includes a lowpass filter, which is crucial for eliminating high-frequency noise and ensuring the integrity of the signal being measured. The module operates at update rates ranging from 0.87 Hz to 1.11 Hz, suitable for applications that do not require high-speed data acquisition but prioritize accuracy and reliability.
