Load Cell and a DL-06 - PLCS.net

djbillyd007 · July 20th, 2007, 06:36 AM

Just got a new project. We have a used/scrap blender with no controls. The OEM control for this unit is very expensive for the process we are doing. What we have in mind is to use a DL-06 and a c-more micro touch panel. What I can't find is what type of amplifier I will need to connect the load cells 15lb 2mv/v to the plc. I have never attempted this before. Thanks

Google "load cell signal conditioner". Here's one from Omega as an example. This is about the price range you would expect.

Just about anyone that makes signal conditioners should be able to fix you up. Here is what I use.
