CENTOR TOUCH Force Gauge – STAR / DUAL version

X.

INPUT, OUTPUT & Foot Pedal

The Centor Touch is able to communicate and send data to an external device such as a test stand, or
a programmable logic controller using its TTL inputs and outputs.

The Centor Touch has:



3 Inputs (Pedal, I1 and I2)



6 Outputs (O1 to O6)

Each Input/output can be set separately using various menu and features of the Centor Touch (limits,
calculation, communication...). But a dedicated menu allows you to display and configure the state
and action of those Input/output, from the third panel “TTL O/I” from the Maintenance menu.

1.

Outputs

Each output from 1 through 6 can be set separately. Those outputs can change state under different
conditions depending of the settings of the force gauge. The main states are:



Nothing: no action



Calcul 1: changes state at the end of calculation 1



Calcul 2: changes state at the end of calculation 2



Test End: changes state at the end of the test



Limits: changes state after reaching a set points (channel 1 or channel 2)



Over 120%: changes state when the measured value is over 20% of the maximum capacity of

the load cell. It is used to protect the load cell when mounted on a test stand.

For each output, it is possible to define its default value (at the beginning of the test): high or low:

Low Level

Hhigh Level

Also it is possible to define the type of actions:



Switch (steady): the output changes state and stay in this new state until the end
