Model V385

8-channel VME strain gauge/load cell module

Overview

Features:
  • Excites and measures up to eight strain gauge load cells
  • Separate, remotely sensed excitation supply for each channel
  • 24-bit ADC per channel
  • 100 dB CMRR
  • Clean, logical VME bus interface is well suited to PLC-based weighing applications
Description:

The V385 is a VME/VXI compatible eight-channel strain-gauge signal conditioner applicable to generic bridge-type transducer applications. The V385 adds individual remote-sensed excitation supplies to each channel, increasing its precision over the V380's single excitation supply.

Key to the V385's increased precision is a separate remotely-sensed excitation voltage for each channel. Now users can measure up to eight different sensors with different interface cables without the uncertainty of a single sense point for the excitation supply.

The V385's updated firmware accommodates customer requests for faster access to raw sensor data. A firmware version with weighing-specific functions is also available.
