Z-SG, Load Cell Converter

Description:

The Seneca Z-SG Strain Gauge Converter is designed to accept a 6 Wire Input from a Load Cell, the input signal is then isolated and converted to a standard analogue signal (mA/V) output. The Z-SG also features RS485 allowing it's integration to a ModBUS RTU Network. The Z-SG also features an Alarm which is enabled when a user defined set-point is reached.

Specification:

• Easily Configurable using DIP Switches or the Z-NET software.
• RS485 Serial Communication with ModBUS RTU protocol, maximum 32 nodes.
• Protection against ESDdischarge up to 4 kV.
• Input Isolation: 1500 Vac
• Isolation between communication and Power Supply: 1500 Vac.
• Isolation between analogue output and Power Supply: 1500 Vac.
• Analogue Output in Voltage or Current
• Strain Gauge Calibration not required if the sensitivity of the strain gauge is known.
• Configurable digital I/O.
• Sampling frequency slectable from 12.53 Hz to 151.71 Hz.
• Stable weight indication via Modbus Register or Digital output.
• Remote writing of the tare in Volatile and/or non-volatile memory by digital input/Modbus register/Modbus commands.
• Strain Gauge Directly Powered by the Instrument.
• Ratiometric Measurement.
• Sensitivity from 1 to 64mV/V, configurable using DIP Switches for integer values, via software for real/integer values.
• Alarm generated when maximum programmable threshold is exceeded.
• Measurement stabilisation through the calculation of the moving average value of a programmable number of samplings.
• Fully Configurable using the Z-NET3 Software.
• Power Supply:
• 10 to 40 Vdc or
• 19 to 28 Vac
• (50 or 60 Hz)

User configuration will require the S117P1 device (which can be purchased here) and the free EASY-SETUP software (which can be downloaded below).
