CDL

Compression digital load cell

Moreover, the star-shaped connection of the PM.NET digital

network around the PRECIA MOLEN connection box (itself with
IP68 and IP69K protection indexes) offers a direct connection of
measurement equipments such as the weight remote display
thus avoiding extra cabling to the indicator.

Initial Repair Verification has to be performed every fortnight.

Immunity to high voltages

PRECIA MOLEN has developed a PM.NET field bus resistant to
electrical disturbances thanks to a differential information trans-
mission.
Fields of use The CDL is efficiently protected from electrical disturbances
itself thanks to its high voltage clipping protections.
 Weighbridges (trucks, wagons).

 Tank and silo weighing. Moreover, the connection of all grounded shielding in compliance
with Electro Magnetic Compatibility rules grants equipotentiality
on the whole PM.NET network.

submitted to a compression strain. It uses strain gauges
mounted in Wheatstone bridges for the conversion of strength
into an electrical signal.

The CDL has been designed to be little sensitive to load off-

centring while keeping small dimensions.

Made of Stainless Steel (304L), the CDL is waterproof in

prolonged immersion (IP68) and high pressure cleaning (IP69K)

Another advantage of digital technology lies in the set-up of a

load cell network. The balancing of the weighbridge is performed

lengthy and delicate adjustment using potentiometers as in
analog technology. All data are stored into the load cell but also in
the indicator. Therefore, besides a fast detection of faulty weigh-
bridge, replacing a load cell is easier as it only takes a transfer of
all stored data into the new load cell for the weighbridge to be French manufacture.
