The LCD20 intelligent loadcell amplifier is a compact, DIN rail mounted microprocessor based unit for use with strain gauge bridge loadcells in force measuring applications.
All set up functions are via either the hand held programming module or a computer depending on the option chosen. Free toolkit software is available that can be run on a computer to carry out all the set-up functions and is able to log data from the LCD20. The computer is connected via a PGM1 programming cable. Data logging intervals can be set at 13ms to 1hr. The logging duration can be set to 9999 readings or 999 hours. The exact limits on the logging function are affected by the sampling rate of the LCD20 and the computer used for logging.
Two analogue outputs are available, 4 to 20mA and 0 to 10V. The current output operates in source mode with the amplifier supplying the loop power. The analogue output is uni-polar so if a bi-directional loadcell is used it is scaled so that the mid point of the analogue output is equal to zero load. This will be 12mA or 5V.
If the LCD20 is supplied with a loadcell it will normally be calibrated to read the loadcell output in the same engineering units as the loadcell calibration. A traceable system certificate will be supplied for the amplifier and loadcell combination. Alternative calibrations are possible; please consult our engineering department to discuss your requirements.
