Working Principle
The ABB PFTL201C 10kN 3BSE007913R0010 operates based on the strain gauge sensing principle. The sensor integrates high-precision strain gauges internally. When weight or force is applied, the elastic body of the sensor undergoes elastic deformation, causing the strain gauges pasted on it to change resistance. According to the resistive strain effect, the resistance change is linearly proportional to the applied external force. The internal measurement circuit of the sensor converts the resistance change of the strain gauges into voltage signals, which are processed by signal conditioning circuits such as amplification and filtering, then output as standard analog signals (e.g., mV/V) or converted to digital signals (via built-in A/D converter) for transmission. After the receiving measurement and control system obtains the signals, it converts them into corresponding weight or force values according to preset parameters and algorithms to achieve precise measurement. Throughout the measurement process, the built-in temperature compensation circuit of the sensor real-time monitors environmental temperature changes and automatically compensates and corrects measurement errors caused by temperature, ensuring measurement accuracy under different temperature conditions.
