Digital Capacitive Load Cells
Eilersen load cells are produced in stainless steel and hermetically sealed to IP68 by laser welding. Furthermore, Eilersen load cells are available in capacities up to 500 tons with a broad range of instrumentation including weighing indicators and weighing modules featuring EtherNet IP, Modbus TCP/IP, PROFINET, Profibus DP, EtherCAT, RS485, 4-20mA and 0-10VDC interfaces. The Eilersen weighing solutions can be supplied in OIML, ATEX and IECEx certified versions.
The Eilersen digital capacitive technology is based on a noncontacting ceramic sensor mounted in a low stressed load cell body. As the load cell contains no moving parts and the ceramic sensor is not in contact with the load cell body, the load cell tolerates very high overloads, sideloads, torsion, and welding voltages. The electrical installation of the Eilersen digital load cells is pure plug-and-play, as the output from the ceramic sensor is directly converted, compensated, and calibrated by a proprietary ASIC in the load cell. The output from the load cell contains the measuring data and status codes for diagnostics, which are transmitted through the load cell cable to the weighing instrumentation.
The intelligent setup eliminates time-consuming installation instructions, manuals, and descriptions for standard applications. This further reduces both time spent and the risk of errors in the configuration of the weighing system.
The Eilersen digital weighing terminals will also provide suggestions and information for the following:
• Performance optimization through integrated filter options
• Stability limit and zero tracking
• System and corner calibration
• Linearization points
• Diagnostics and serial no. for all connected load cells
