GSR Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Dear all, I am working on a system which has a load cell on it. I previously worked with 4 output lines load cell. The one I see here has 3 lines output. One of the line is connected across both side. Could anyone please provide some information about this type of load cell? (the specific name, theory, document, anything) Thanks Quote Link to comment
Bobillier Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) Hi In fact i think it's a half load cell. and it's run like potentiometer. 1) Power (or ref) red, 2) signal (white) 3) Gnd (black). If you want use it with straingage amplfier, you must put the positive input to your white wire. For the negative input you must add external resistor divider , made with to equal value resistors. Connect like this. one resitor between Power (or ref)and negative input, and the other between negaztive input and gnd Eric Edited June 1, 2010 by Bobillier Quote Link to comment
ASTDan Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) My Suspicion would be a quarter bridge (strain) load cell. See this tutorial on the subject http://zone.ni.com/d...a/tut/p/id/3642 Edited June 2, 2010 by ASTDan Quote Link to comment
