DESCRIPTION
The 6132 input module has four channels of high performance
signal-conditioning amplifiers for strain gages and bridge transducers.
Each channel has programmable excitation with remote sensing,
voltage calibration, local or remote shunt calibration,
programmable gain instrumentation amplifier and four-pole low pass
filter.
The 6132 is used with quarter, half and full bridge transducers,
potentiometers and low-level voltage signals in demanding
applications such as load control. The EM option adds continuous
excitation monitoring with out-of-limit alarms. The PF option adds a
four-pole, 4 to 1,000 Hz programmable filter with 1 Hz resolution.
Voltage substitution using an external voltage standard is provided
for traceable gain calibration. Internal or external shunt calibration
is provided for transducer calibration. Transducer balance, zero and
gain calibration are automatic. Two programmable alarms
with upper and lower limits are checked for each output. The highlevel
analog outputs provide a means to independently
monitor or record each channel.
| Unless noted specifications apply to each channel individually |
| Input |
Two to eight wires with shield. Bridge
configuration is programmable for ¼, ½
and full bridge, 120 Ohm and 350 Ohm. |
| Bridge Excitation |
Programmable from 0 to 12 Volts with 3.3 mV resolution and ±0.01% regulation, 50 mA limited to 70 mA. |
| Current Excitation |
Programmable from 0 to 50 mA with 12 uA resolution and ±0.01% regulation, 10 Volt compliance. |
| Balance |
Automatic to ±0.05% of range ±1 mV. Range up to 10 mV/V, 2 mV/V (350 Ohms) installed. Stability is ±0.02%, ±0.005%/°C. |
| Shunt Calibration |
Single step shunt, either polarity, internal or
external connection, 0.502 mV/V (350 Ohm
bridge), ±1% installed. |
| Voltage Calibration |
Alternate input for external calibration source.
Programmable attenuator with steps of 1, 0.1
and 0.01, ±0.02% accuracy. Output of the
attenuator is provided for calibration. |
