DCL08 Digital Load Cell Interface

Product catalog summary

Overview: The DLC08 is a high-performance digital interface designed for converting analog load cells into digital load cells, suitable for precision measurement of strain gage transducers. It can be embedded in the load cell or installed at the cable end.

Features:

Serial interface (RS-485) for all settings.
Simple calibration and testing via HyperTerminal or Revere’s software.
Automatic unit conversion and zero tracking.
Gravity factor compensation and tare function.
Supports PC-based, microcontroller, and PLC applications.
Weight result format includes six digits and eight annunciators.
Supports up to 64 nodes with ESD protection up to 15 kV.

Applications:

OEM machinery.
Load cell digitizers.
Inventory and level control.

Options:

USB interface.
Tilt sensor.
