Right now Eilersen Electric presents their new line of digital load cells at exhibitions around Europe, e.g. AUTOMATIK and FOODTECH 2016 in Denmark and at the All About Automation 2017 in Hamburg Germany, January 25-26 2017.
The Eilersen digital capacitive technology is based on a noncontacting ceramic sensor mounted inside the 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.
This robust technology allows for a very simple and hygienic mechanical installation of the Eilersen load cells without expensive and complicated mounting kits, stay rods or overload protection devices.
The simple installation eliminates the need for maintenance and reduces the total cost of ownership.
The electrical installation of the Eilersen digital load cells is pure plug-and-play as the output from the non-contacting sensor is directly converted, compensated and calibrated to RS485 signal by a proprietary ASIC in the load cell.
This RS485 signal contains the measuring data and status codes for diagnostics, which is transmitted through the single wire coaxial cable to the weighing instrumentation.
The patented digital technology eliminates drift and inaccuracy found in analog circuits as the complete measurement chain is digital.
Every Eilersen load cell is individually factory calibrated and compensated to ensure the highest accuracy (up to OIML C6 MI10) and quality on the market.
The Eilersen proprietary design results in unsurpassed flexibility, high data rates and allows for connection to a wide range of equipment, fieldbus interfaces and outputs (PLCs, PCs, SCADA systems, Weighing Terminals, PROFINET, Profibus DP, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, RS485, 4-20mA, 0-10VDC etc.).
The pre-calibration of the Eilersen load cells and the possibility to monitor the load and status of each individual digital load cell, provides visibility, easy troubleshooting and saves time during commissioning.
Furthermore, the load cell cables can be mounted on the load cells on-site, if convenient, and the cable length (up to 100 meters) has no influence on the calibration of the Eilersen load cells.
