Specifications

Strain-Gage Input - Each of the PCI-5B38 Series blocks converts an analog voltage input to a high-level output. Strain-gage excitation is provided by a stable 3.333V or 10V source. Full-scale sensitivities of 2mV/V, 3mV/V, or 10mV/V are standard.

With 10V excitation, the result is ±20mV or ±30mV full-scale input range, producing ±5V full-scale output. Both 4Hz and 10kHz models are available.

The 10kHz bandwidth allows measurement of high-speed processes, such as vibration. These strain-gage input blocks interface to full-bridge or half-bridge transducers with resistance values from 100 ohms to 10K ohms.

A matched pair of bridge completion resistors allows the use of low-cost half-bridge or quarter-bridge transducers.
