Full-bridge measurement
Up to sixteen full-bridge measurements may be multiplexed through the AM16/32B. A problem
with making full-bridge measurements with this configuration is that the resistance of the wire
and multiplexer relays can cause a voltage drop, reducing the excitation at the bridge. The
following section describes a configuration that compensates for this by measuring the excitation
at the bridge. See
AM16-32B Example B-6 CR1000X load cell measurements.CR1X
and
for the program and wiring diagram, or use
Short Cut to create the program. With minor
adjustments, the CR1000X program can be used with the CR6, CR3000, CR800 series, CR300
series, or CR1000. This program measures 16 load cell sensors through an AM16/32B. The
AM16/32B must be in 4x16 mode.
