Make Your Own Plug-and-Play Load Cell System and Eliminate Costly User Errors

Make Your Own Plug-and-Play Load Cell System and Eliminate Costly User Errors

It is advantageous to have an efficient instrument that can automatically identify the load cell that is being attached to it and self-install the proper calibration data. When a new load cell is connected to the instrument, the appropriate calibration factors need to be installed in the instrument....

SEPE, Jr.0Electro Standards Laboratories 36 Western Industrial Drive, Cranston, RI 02921, USAIt is advantageous to have an efficient instrument that can automatically identify the load cell that is being attached to it and self-install the proper calibration data. When a new load cell is connected to the instrument, the appropriate calibration factors need to be installed in the instrument. Manual data entry or selecting from a database of stored calibration parameters introduces the possibility of user error. Loading the wrong parameters for a load cell, or corrupting the existing calibration data can lead to erroneous results and costly re-calibration expenses. An easy way to make a plug-and-play load cell system is presented in this paper.http://www.sensorsportal.com/HTML/DIGEST/september_06/P_82.pdfLoad cellForce measurementsTEDSTransducer Electronic DatasheetCalibration
