The LC8 input module allows RMC200 users to bring up to eight load cell signals straight into to the motion controller - no signal conditioner or amplifier needed. In this presentation, Delta’s Product Development Manager Jacob Paso gives a brief introduction to the basic theory of load cell operation, and how the LC8 module provides excitation voltage, sense wire correction, and much much more. Live examples include controlling force using load cell feedback, comparing and contrasting load cell vs. differential pressure feedback, and creating a calibration curve using RMCTools’ Custom Feedback feature.
