Operating manual EMGZ306A 1 Safety Instructions 1.1 Description conditions a) High danger of health injury or loss of life Danger This symbol refers to high risk for persons to get health injury or loss life. It has to be followed strictly.
Strain gauge: Electronic component that will change its resistance while its length has changed. Strain gauges are used in the FMS force sensors for acquisition of the feedback value. 3 System components The EMGZ306A consists of the following components (refer also to fig. 1): Force sensors •...
Due to the wheatstone wiring of the strain gauges, the measured value is according also to the power supply. So, the force sensors are supplied from the EMGZ306A by a very accurate power supply.
(fig. 4). 6.2 Mounting the force sensors Mounting of the force sensors is done referring to the FMS Installation manual which is delivered together with the force sensors. Wiring to the terminals of the electronic unit is done according to wiring diagram (fig. 4).
Operating manual EMGZ306A 6.3 Wiring Power Gain Offset fig. 4: Wiring diagram E306009e There can be connected 1 or 2 force sensors to the measuring amplifier. Using 2 force sensors, the connections will be wired parallel. The output signal of the measuring amplifier then will correspond to the average value of the 2 sensors.
4...20mA) which are active simultaneously. The signal of the current output is configured as follows: Current output 4...20mA The jumpers have to be set to X1 / X2 (fig. 6). This is the standard FMS factory setting. fig. 6: Jumper setting for current output 4...20mA E306006a Current output 0...20mA...
Operating manual EMGZ306A 7.3 Configuring the lowpass filter The measuring amplifier provides a lowpass filter. It is used to eliminate faulty signal variations which may be caused by unbalanced rollers, vibrations of the machine, or equivalent. The lowpass filter is effective to both the tension- and the current output. The lower the cut-off frequency, the more sluggish the output signal will be.
