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 EMGZ300 consists of the following components (refer also to fig. 1): Force sensors •...
The force sensors measure the tension force in the material and transmit the measuring value as a mV signal to the hybrid module in the electronic unit EMGZ300. The electronic unit amplifies the mV signal depending on configuration. The resulting feedback value can be transmitted to an analog instrument, a PLC or equivalent devices.
The aluminium front panel is optional. E300003us If the electronic unit should be mounted into a 19“ rack, the electronic unit has to be ordered with aluminium front panel (EMGZ300-x channel.581748). Instead of the support block, a multipoint plug can be used.
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 EMGZ300 6.3 Wiring fig. 4: Wiring diagram E300004e There can be connected 1 or 2 force sensors to each channel. Using 2 force sensors in 1 channel, the connection cables will be wired parallel. The output signal of the measuring amplifier then will correspond to the average value of the 2 sensors.
Operating manual EMGZ300 7 Setting into operation 7.1 View of the setting elements fig. 5: Setting elements for all channels E300005e 7.2 Configuring gain and offset Gain and offset are configured by jumpers. The settings can be made individually for each channel.
Operating manual EMGZ300 7.3 Configuring the outputs Each channel provides a tension output (±10V) and a current output (0...20mA resp. 4...20mA) which are active simultaneously. The signal of the current output is configured as follows: Current output 0...20mA The jumpers will be set to „0...20mA“ (fig.
Operating manual EMGZ300 7.5 Calibrating the measuring amplifier Proceed the calibration for each channel as follows: • Connect gauge to the tension- resp. current output. • Connect the first force sensor • Check, if a positive output signal is appearing when loading the sensor in measuring direction.
Operating manual EMGZ300 8 Upgrade with additional channels The electronic units EMGZ300 may be equipped with 1 to 4 channels (1 hybrid module for each channel). If any channels should be added in the future, additional hybride modules EMGZ581620 can be ordered.
Operating manual EMGZ300 9 Trouble shooting Error Cause Corrective action Offset setting is bad Re-adjust offset (refer to „7.5 Calibrating the Output shows signal > 0 although material has measuring amplifier“) no tension Current output is Change jumper setting if required configured for 4...20mA...
