SCM5B38
Strain Gage Input Modules, Narrow Bandwidth
Description
Each SCM5B38 Strain Gage input module provides a single channel of
strain gage input which is filtered, isolated, amplified, and converted to a
high-level analog voltage output (Figure 1). This voltage output is logic
switch controlled, which allows these modules to share a common analog
bus without the re uirement of external multiplexers.
Features
•
The SCM5B modules are designed with a completely isolated computer
side circuit which can be oated to
from Power ommon, pin .
This complete isolation means that no connection is re uired between I O
Common and Power Common for proper operation of the output switch.
If desired, the output switch can be turned on continuously by simply
connecting pin , the Read nable pin, to I O ommon, pin .

The S
B can interface to full bridge or half bridge transducers
with a nominal resistance of
to
. A matched pair of bridge
completion resistors (to ± 1mV at +10V excitation) allows use of low cost
half bridge or uarter bridge transducers Figures , , .
Strain gage excitation is provided from the module by a very stable
or 3.333V source. The excitation supply is fully isolated, allowing the
amplifier inputs to operate over the full range of the excitation voltage.
This feature offers significant exibility in real world applications. Full
scale sensitivities of 2mV/V, 3mV/V or 10mV/V are offered as standard.
With 10V excitation, this results in ± 20mV, ± 30mV or ± 100mV full scale
input range producing ± 5V full scale output.
After initial field side filtering the input signal is chopped by a proprietary
chopper circuit. Isolation is provided by transformer coupling, again using
a proprietary technique to suppress transmission of common mode spikes
or surges. The module is powered from +5VDC, ± 5%.
