Product Details

The digital load cell converter module is designed for use with strain gauge sensors such as pressure transducers, load cells and torque sensors, the DSC offers high speed, high precision strain gauge signal conversion capabilities with linearization and temperature compensation of the sensor .

The DSC, digital load cell converter output formats include RS232, RS485, CAN, ASCII, Modbus, MantraCAN (J1939).

For mounting internal to the sensor, the same electronics is also available in a compact miniature format – see DCell.

The digital load cell converter has the option of being housed in a convenient IP65 enclosure, or for multiple load cell installations, refer to models DSJ1 display & junction box for a single digital load cell for 1 channel, and DSJ4 for 4 channel.
