Example 1) The current measurement on the load cell is “000003E4,”convert into a decimal
number, or 996 (x 0.01 N) o The current push force is 9.96 N.
Example 2) If the current measurement reading on the load cell is “FFFFFF35”
(tensile state
(Note 2)
), the formula FFFFFFFF
H
– FFFFFF35
H
+ 1 (1 must be added)
applies.
The result is converted into decimal number, or 203 (x 0.01 N) o
The current tensile force
(Note 2)
is 2.03 N.
Note 1
This is only one example of response. The specific response varies depending on
each situation.
Note 2
Load cell cannot be used for pulling operation.
