Transducer Interface

(TI)

The TI comes in two versions: a Low-Profile TI and the newer Mini TI.
Information on the Low-Profile TI can be found in this manual. Information on
the Mini TI can be found in a separate product manual (MTS part number
100214316).

The Low-Profile TI conditions the power supply, and uses previously stored
calibration values to convert the eight bridge outputs and the encoder signal to
six non-rotating analog outputs (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz) plus an angle output (or
angular velocity with the Mini TI). The force and moment outputs have a value
of 10 V full scale, unless a different full-scale output is requested by a customer.
The angle output is a 0–5 V sawtooth output.

Additional

components

Additional components that are supplied with your SWIFT sensor include shunt
and transducer data cables, TI power cable, a SWIFT Transducer Interface
Utilities disk, and the calibration file. MTS can also provide a 12 V DC power
converter for use in the test laboratory.
