Application and selection

The complete acquisition chain requires a compatible bridge transducer, suitable excitation, EtherCAT coupler or controller, wiring, software configuration and calibration. This terminal provides the electrical acquisition interface; the transducer and the mechanical installation determine the measured load or torque.

Choose the conversion time and filters for the signal bandwidth and required noise performance. The 10,000 samples/s limit and the finest filtered measurement performance apply to different operating settings. Confirm the complete EL3356-0010 model when specifying replacements or expanding an existing rack.
