6800 SERIES DIGITAL CONTROLLER STRAIN CONDITIONERS

Electronic options include strain channels for connecting extensometers and other transducers, and analog outputs for chart recorders, plotters, data loggers etc.

Principle of Operation

Some applications may require direct strain measurement from the specimen or load/strain control. Sensor conditioner cards may be added to the 6800 Series and these are directly compatible with Instron’s strain gauge extensometers and LVDTs, as well as devices with +/- 10V DC output. The 6800 Series system can be fitted with two optional sensor conditioning cards as but this can be considerably increased by the addition of the expansion channel module. This provides signal conditioning and calibration for either four or eight additional transducers, which may be used for control as well as data acquisition. An analog output and digital I/O card is also available, allowing connection of analog chart recorders, plotters or data loggers.

Application Range

• Required for input from optional strain measurement transducers and analog/digital outputs.
