Load Cell Troubleshooting – Wireless Remote Connectivity Solution
应用文章
Before the introduction of the electronic load cell, mechanical lever scales were widely used in many industrial and commercial applications. The accuracy of these mechanical scales depends on the scale calibration and maintenance. Load cell-based systems are the industry standard and most commonly used type of weighing system across the entire weight measurement industry. Though load cells are reliable, they are subject to damage due to overloading, lightning strikes, chemical or moisture ingress, mishandling (such as damaging the cable, or dropping the cell). Troubleshooting a scale-fitted with more than one load cell to detect defective cells is always a tedious procedure. Multiple load cells also make troubleshooting harder. The larger the scale, the harder this can become. This application note explains how the Keysight Technologies, Inc. wireless remote connectivity solution helps load cell application service technicians ease their troubleshooting task.
