DSJ1

The DSJ1 Strain Gauge or Load Cell Digitiser Module (1 Channel) compliments the model DSC, the DSJ1 provides a convenient package that makes interconnection and field mounting quick and easy.

Designed for use with strain gauge sensors such as pressure transducers, load cells and torque sensors, the DSC family offers high speed and high precision signal conditioning digitising capabilities. Available output formats include RS232, RS485 ASCII, Modbus, CAN, CANopen, CAN J1939 and DeviceNet.

For more than one input channel, model DSJ4 provides the ability to connect up to four model DSC's to a common communications bus. Several DSJ1's or DSJ4's can be connected to the same bus for distributed applications (except when using RS232)

For mounting internal to the sensor, the same electronics is also available in a compact miniature format and is known as the DCell Strain Gauge or Load Cell Embedded Digitiser Module.

The DSC Strain Gauge or Load Cell Digitiser Module offers :

• High performance at low cost - 24 bit measurement at 4.8 kHz
• Baud rates up to 230k for 1000 results per second
• Calibrate by Input High/Low or by direct entry of mV/V
• Remote shunt calibration by software command or digital input
• Temperature sensor input for active temperature compensation
• Error reporting including strain gauge fault conditions and overloads
• Peak and trough (valley) recording
• Programmable dynamic filter

The DSJ1 Strain Gauge or Load Cell Digitiser Module (1 Channel) adds :

• Socket mounting for the DSC module
• Convenient 2-part connectors for field terminals
• Bus connections for communication and power supply
• Green LED power indicator
• Push switch to simulate the digital input
• Option to terminate bus through 120 ohm resistor
• Optional IP65 ABS enclosure with cable glands and clear lid
