2.3 Analog Output Wiring

Connect the analog output to your receiving device (e.g., PLC, data acquisition system). The output can be configured for either current or voltage:

• Output Kurrent: 0/4 sa 20 mA
• VoltagE Produzzjoni: 0 to 5 Vdc or 0 to 10 Vdc

2.4 Komunikazzjoni Modbus RTU

For Modbus RTU communication, connect the module to a compatible RS-485 network. Note that a Z-PC-DINAL2-17.5 module may be required for proper integration. Refer to the Modbus communication protocol documentation for addressing and register details.

2.5 Konfigurazzjoni

The input range (1 to 64 mV/V) and output type (current/voltage) are configurable via the RS-232 port using free software provided by the manufacturer. Connect the module to a computer via RS-232 and use the software to set the desired parameters for your application.

3. Operazzjoni

Once properly installed and configured, the Z-SG module will convert the strain gauge signal into the specified analog output or transmit data via Modbus RTU.

3.1 Signal Conversion

The module continuously monitors the strain gauge input and converts the mV/V signal into a proportional analog current or voltage output, as configured. This output can then be read by a control system to monitor load or force.

3.2 Komunikazzjoni Modbus

For systems utilizing Modbus RTU, the module acts as a slave device, providing digital access to measured values and configuration parameters. Ensure your Modbus master device is correctly configured to communicate with the Z-SG module's address and baud rate.
