PCI-9524
24-Bit Precision Load Cell Input Card
Introduction
The PCI-9524 is a robust, multi-purpose module designed for turnkey material test systems (MTS). Equipped with four
strain gauge-based full-bridge transducer input channels, four general purpose analog input channels, and a 3-axis motion
controller, the PCI-9524 delivers a complete hardware solution for MTS manufacturers. The PCI-9524 easily integrates
physical quantity measurement and implements strategy of software-based close-loop control in a single module
package. For transducer measurement, the PCI-9524 supports sensitivity from 1.0 mV/V to 4.0 mV/V and provides a
1/200000 accuracy of measurement of full scale. These features make the PCI-9524 suitable for precise measurement in
large-scale transducers.
The PCI-9524 is also equipped with four, 24-bit general purpose analog input channels that allow accurate measure-
ments of the LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transducer) and Linear wire potentiometer signals to achieve
high-resolution of displacement.
With motion control capability and 16-bit DA channels, the PCI-9524 comes with three stepper/servo motor axes and
two channels of hydraulic system control function. The built-in incremental encoder feedback channels enable the PCI-9524 to
implement the stratagem of MTS’ software-based closed-loop control.
The impressive PCI-9524 features permit easy implementation of required control or measurement functionalities
with just a single module, saving precious development and integration time for MTS manufacturers.
