MX1615B-R Bridge Module

Up to 16 individually configurable inputs can be connected to the MX1615B-R, including strain gage-based transducers, standardized voltage and resistance or resistance-based measurements (for example, a PT100 resistance thermometer).

The MX1615B-R can supply bridge excitation voltage as a constant DC voltage or 1200 Hz (AC) square wave carrier frequency with an amplitude of 0.5, 1, 2.5 or 5 volts.

The measurement channels are electrically isolated from the power supply and the interfaces. When TEDS or T-ID is used, the measurement channel is automatically parameterized after connection.
