Signal Conditioners

Load cell signal conditioners and amplifiers.

Signal conditioners such as the Signal Link turn load-cell millivolts into both analog and digital output: 4–20 mA and 0–10 V analog, RS-485 Modbus RTU digital, plus relay control, all on a 25 mm DIN rail.

Why Signal Link

A full signal conditioner in a single DIN slot.

Built for OEMs and system integrators who need precision strain-gauge measurement inside the cabinet. Commissioning, calibration and live troubleshooting all happen at the rail, no laptop required.

The module

Drops in on the rail.

1,000,000-count measurement, an OLED, RS-485 Modbus and three relays, all in cabinet-grade hardware.

Talk to anything in the cabinet.

4–20 mA, 0–10 V and bipolar analog, RS-485 Modbus-RTU to 32 nodes, and three Form-A relays: legacy and modern controls from one source.

The display

No laptop required.

The OLED shows live weight, state and diagnostics right on the module, so calibration, tare and setpoints happen where the wires are, not back at a desk.

Which conditioner do I need?

All three convert load-cell mV/V to a usable signal. Signal Link adds a display, digital comms and on-board control; the LCT6 units are simpler, lower-cost amplifiers for plain analog conversion.

Questions

Signal Link, answered.

How many load cells can one Signal Link drive?

Up to eight 350 Ω cells in parallel (direct or through a junction box) on its 5 V excitation supply, with a ±4.5 mV/V input range.

Will it connect to my PLC?

Yes. Choose 0–10 V, ±10 V, 4–20 mA or ±20 mA analog output scaled to your own endpoints, or poll it over RS-485 Modbus-RTU. Built-in PLC calibration points at 0 / 25 / 50 / 75 / 100% make loop checkout quick.

Can I network more than one module?

Up to 32 units daisy-chain on a single half-duplex RS-485 Modbus-RTU bus. The two AA/BB terminal pairs are paralleled so chain wiring needs no splices. Just fit a 120 Ω terminator at each end node.

Does it take 4-wire or 6-wire load cells?

Both. Six-wire cells use the remote-sense terminals for full accuracy over long runs; for four-wire cells, short SEN to EXC. A dedicated TEDS terminal supports plug-and-play transducer identification.

Do I need software to set it up?

No. Calibration, filtering, scaling and relay logic are all on-device through the OLED and four-key pad. The USB-C port is optional: it appears as a virtual COM port for PC setup and firmware updates.

What can the relays do?

Three Form-A relays (5 A · 250 VAC / 30 VDC) run on-board fill, pass-band and check-weigh logic against your setpoints, and an opto-isolated trigger input (10–30 VDC) starts the cycle: simple dosing and grading without a PLC in the loop.
