100KG Digital Load Cell – High Precision Weight Sensor for Accurate Measurements
A 100KG Digital Load Cell typically integrates a traditional load cell with onboard electronics that digitize the output, making it easier to connect directly to digital systems like microcontrollers, PLCs, or data acquisition systems. Here’s an overview tailored to a Digital Load Cell with a 100KG capacity:
Features of a Digital Load Cell
- Integrated Electronics: Includes an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) to digitize the output signal.
- Output Interface:
- Commonly supports interfaces like RS232, RS485, USB, SPI, or I²C.
- May also use standardized protocols like Modbus for communication.
- Capacity:
- Rated for 100KG (or ~1000N).
- High Resolution:
- Provides precise digital readings, often with resolutions up to 24-bit ADC.
- Calibration Features:
- Often pre-calibrated or supports in-situ calibration through digital commands.
- Power Supply:
- Generally requires a DC voltage supply (e.g., 5V or 12V).
- Diagnostics:
- Self-check features to monitor health, such as temperature and sensor performance.
Advantages Over Analog Load Cells
- No Need for External Amplifiers: Signal is already digitized.
- Noise Reduction: Less interference compared to analog signals.
- Ease of Integration: Compatible with modern digital systems.
- Data Logging and Processing: Easier to log and analyze data directly.
