The StrainGage module can be attached to the controller or to an adjacent I/O
module before or after din rail mounting. It is a Class 1 module (uses eight input
words and eight output words). It interfaces to strain gage based transducers
(350ohm or 700ohm).
The module can accept input from two sensors. The module has no output
channels. Module configuration requires manual and user programmable setup.
The StrainGage module receives and stores digitally converted analog data into
its image table for retrieval by processor. The module supports connections from
any combination of up to two strain gage sensors.
Any combination of Helm Strain Gage sensors can be used. Contact Helm for
additional information on the type and application of different sensor options.
