Sensor Signals
With the Station Builder program, you can allocate station resources
(conditioners) to sensors connected to your test system. Once a
conditioner is linked to a sensor, the sensor signal (feedback) can be
used as a control mode and/or for data acquisition. Available sensor
signals vary with the type of controller in your system.
The FlexTest™ SE controller supports the following types of sensor signals:
• AC conditioner signals are conditioned by a Digital Universal
Conditioner (DUC) daughter board plugged into the I/O Carrier
module on the Controller’s VME chassis. The DUC must be
configured for the AC mode. An LVDT requires AC conditioning.
• DC conditioner signals are conditioned by a Digital Universal
Conditioner (DUC) daughter board plugged into the I/O Carrier
module on the Controller’s VME chassis. The DUC must be
configured for the DC mode. A force transducer (load cell)
requires DC conditioning.
Full-Range DUC
Conditioner
The Model 493.25 DUC module used with your FlexTest SE controller
is a full-range conditioner that provides one calibrated range for each
sensor.
