Strain gauge amplifier for strain and force sensors for cyclic applications with very frequent zero adjustment processes Variants DIN-rail mounting Aluminum field housing Inline housing Amplifier with 4 ... 20 mA and 0 ... 10 V analogue output, zero point adjustment via external control signal, unlimited taring cycles Features • Universal connection of strain sensors, force sensors and load cell • Large input range of 1.0 mV/V to 4.0 mV/V • For cyclic applications with external input for automatic zero point adjustment, suitable for periodic zero adjustment processes (process tare) • Analogue signal path with fast reaction time • With integrated amplifier with ± 10 V or 4-20 mA as robust output signal, can be operated simultaneously Application The amplifiers of X-Sensors are suitable for the universal signal conditioning of strain gauges sensors. They are therefore suitable for amplifying the mV-sensor signal of any force and strain sensors and load cells. The zero point setting for these amplifiers is made by a digital zero-adjustment mechanism. The zero point adjustment is not saved permanently, it is lost after switching off. A non-volatile, stable zero is available regardless of the cycle times. Therefore, these amplifiers are suitable for all dynamic applications. They can be used in all applications that require a periodic zero reset. Different types of housing allow a wide range of applications. In addition to the DIN rail version for mounting in control cabinets, there is also a robust field housing and inline housing av

External zero point adjustment The zero point setting for these amplifiers is made by a digital zero-adjustment mechanism. The zero point adjustment is not saved permanently, it is lost after switching off. A non-volatile, stable zero is available regardless of the cycle times. Therefore, these amplifiers are suitable for all dynamic applications. They can be used in all applications that require a periodic zero reset. The zero point adjustment is triggered by an external control input (reset input). It is available with Active Low and Active High logic. The following characteristic values are...

Zero point adjustment "Onboard" With the DIN-rail version (X-201-KA08) and aluminum field housing (X-201-IP08), the zero point can be teached-in by pressing a button. The zero point correction taught with the "Zero" button is always saved as an installation tare. This means that the zero point correction is still present even after a power-off. The zero point adjustment is performed as long as the zero-button is pressed. The output signal is set to zero at this moment. Output The X-201 offers two calibrated outputs at once, a voltage ouput and a current output. The relation between these two...
