Charge amplifier
Set up via control unit
The 5074A data acquisition device from Kistler allows up to four piezoelectric sensors per device to be connected to the digital industrial network. The charge amplifier is available with the Ethercat, Ethernet/IP and Profinet communication protocols.
According to the manufacturer, this has the advantage that all parameters can be set up and viewed via the controller. This gives users control over the data sets without the need to install additional software. Each channel can be controlled individually. Thanks to direct access to the status of the device and measuring channels, a high level of reliability of the measuring process is guaranteed at all times. As the analogue raw signal of the sensor is already digitized in the amplifier of the 5074A, the interference variables caused by inductive or capacitive coupling that occur in classic analogue systems are avoided. There is also no need to wire the analog and control signals. The amplifier allows measurements with up to 10,000 bus cycles per second and is therefore suitable for time-critical controls. With the option of generating several measuring points per cycle through oversampling, processes can be recorded in high resolution with up to 50,000 measured values per channel and per second.
