RWT3745V (Rev 2)
Optional Accessories
Analog Lead
The Analog Lead is a 2.5m length - 15 way ‘D’ type connector (female) to 12 pin Lumberg
(female). It can be used for any RWT series transducers.
Digital Lead
(RWT420/440 series ONLY)
The Digital Lead is a 2.5m length - 15 way ‘D’ type connector (male) to 12 pin Lumberg
(male). It is used to configure the RWT420/440 series.
Digital Adaptor Lead
(RWT420/440 series ONLY)
The Digital Adaptor Lead is an optional accessory and plugs into the 15 way ‘D’ type
connector on the 2.5m Digital Lead to provide a DC jack for power and RS232 and/or a USB
connection, depending upon the options requested.
Note: USB specification limits the length
of a cable between host and full speed device to 5 meters. A USB Extender is required for
distances greater than 5m; please consult the factory for USB Extenders.
Additional Related Products and Transducer Resources
Transducer Display ETD
The Transducer Display ETD is a readout suitable for all RWT transducers. Although it is
primarily used to display torque and peak torque, it can also display speed and power,
provide access to the analog outputs from the transducer and connect the transducer to a PC
for use with TorqView and Transducer Control.
Transducer Signal Breakout Unit (SBU)
The Transducer Signal Breakout Unit, which when plugged in powers the transducer and
keeps all of the inputs and outputs in one place. The Transducer Signal Breakout Unit
provides 4mm sockets to output an analog torque and speed signal. It enables switching
between DC Volts, 0-20mA, 4-20mA, zero torque, angle and enable peak hold. The
Transducer Signal Breakout Unit also allows communication with a PC via the built-in USB
and RS232 ports. The Transducer Signal Breakout Unit is powered by a supply voltage of
12-32VDC with a minimum current of 1 amp (to supply peak start-up current).
AC Mains Adaptor Power Supply (PSU)
The AC Mains Adaptor Power supply is required to provide 12-32VDC to the RWT series
Transducer and Transducer Signal Breakout Unit.
TorqView
(RWT420/440 series ONLY)
TorqView is an easy to use graphical front end Virtual Instrumentation Display PC Interface
Software program for use with the RWT420/440 series transducers. It allows the Torque,
Speed, Power and Temperature values to be displayed in charts, dials and digital bars and
can be used to assist data recording. For further information on TorqView please refer to the
TorqView User Manual.
Transducer Control Program
(RWT420/440 series ONLY)
Transducer Control is an all-round application to unlock the advanced functionality of the
420/440 Series Transducer. Transducer Control enables the user to exploit the flexibility of
the advanced transducer series by configuring the run time parameters of the transducer to
best suit their application.
Transducer Communication Protocol
(RWT420/440 series ONLY)
The Transducer Communication Protocol describes the protocol required to communicate
with a transducer on either RS232 or USB. The Transducer uses a simple request and send
protocol, which defines the commands for requesting data and configuring functionality.
Further information on the Transducer Communication Protocol is available from the factory
or as a download from our website:

Transducer DLL Programmers Guide
(RWT420/440 series ONLY)
The Transducer DLL Programmers Guide provides information on how a transducer can be
integrated into a third party software program. The DLL simplifies the use of the USB and
RS232 interfaces by providing a unified interface to access transducers connected via either
method; it takes care of the low-level driver access, protocol negotiation and data
manipulation. Further information on the Transducer DLL Programmers Guide
is available
