The Ultra Series DIN Rail amplifier (non-isolated) provides a complete signal conditioning solution for amplifying and reporting signals from a pair of strain-gage-based load cells. Either semiconductor or foil-based load cells can be used. Note that the non-isolated version of the Ultra Series DIN Rail amplifier shares the same ground reference (common) between the 24VDC supply, output signals, and strain-gage bridge.
The Ultra Series DIN Rail amplifier uses a dedicated Instrumentation Amplifier (IA) for each transducer channel. The IA stage amplifies the millivolt level signals generated by the load cells, while effectively rejecting common­mode noise. A wide range of switch selectable gains can be used to provide the most appropriate level of initial amplification. Low drift Surface Mount Technology (SMT) components, Multi-layer Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) and optimum circuit topologies are incorporated to promote load cell signal integrity.
A summing amplifier stage combines the left and right IA channels. The gain of this stage is adjustable over a 10:1 range to allow span calibration of the analog outputs. To improve rejection of “out of band” signals, the summing stage is followed by a DC accurate 2-pole active filter.
A precision voltage source is provided for exciting the strain gage elements in the inter-connected load cells (tension transducers). The circuit includes a short circuit current limit feature to protect the amplifier in the event of mis­wiring. Output voltage is selectable to either of the following:
The final analog tension signal is available in a variety of forms. The un-damped output signal can be provided from a +/-10V analog buffer stage, as well as a standard 4-20 mA current loop stage. The voltage supply for the current loop bias is internally provided. The current loop scaling has been specially designed so that minor negative excursions of the tension signal can continue to be reported as currents below 4 mA.
A damped (low pass filtered) version of the tension signal is available for driving displays or recording devices. The damping is switch selectable for a cutoff frequency of either 0.3 Hz or 3.7 Hz. Damping is useful for improving the readability, effectively masking higher frequency fluctuations superimposed on the tension signal. This damped output stage can be configured to be either:

1.1.1 CE EMC R
Cleveland Motion Controls DIN Rail Amplifier MWI-13262 Ultra Series module can be considered a component performing a direct function and therefore is subject to the provisions of the EMC Directive.
The Cleveland Motion Controls DIN Rail Amplifier MWI-13262 module may be used by a manufacturer as a component of a larger system, along with other components, which may or may not bear the CE mark. The system assembler is responsible for the compliance of the system as a whole with the EMC Directive.
To assist manufacturers, suppliers, and installers of relevant apparatus, the Cleveland Motion Controls DIN Rail Amplifier MWI-13262 module is compliant to EN61326:1997 when installed according to these instructions. Manufacturers, suppliers, and installers of relevant apparatus may use this compliance as a contributing basis for their own justification of overall compliance with the EMC Directive.
Before installing the Ultra Series DIN Rail Amplifier you must clearly understand who is legally responsible for conformance with the EMC Directive. Misappropriation of the CE mark is a criminal offense.

Provides 10:1 “vernier” adjustment of the summing amplifier. It is a multi­turn potentiometer, with clockwise rotation causing an increase in amplifier gain. When turned fully counter clockwise, the potentiometer will cause the summing amplifier stage to provide the minimum gain of 0.9.
Provides a fine zero (offset) adjustment. It simultaneously and equally affects both of the instrumentation amplifiers. It is a multi-turn potentiometer, with clockwise rotation causing a positive shift in the analog outputs. It should be set mid-way prior to setting the COARSE ZERO adjustment.

amplifier. Because of the ability to cause +/- Full scale (+/- F.S.) output
shifts, it is important to correctly follow the final set-up and calibration
procedure so that premature amplifier “clipping” is avoided
Establishes the coarse zero of the Right Channel (RCH) instrumentation
amplifier. Because of the ability to cause +/- Full scale (+/- F.S.) output
shifts, it is important to correctly follow the final set-up and calibration
procedure so that premature amplifier “clipping” is avoided. This is a multi-
turn adjustment potentiometer.
Allows for matching (balancing) the gain between transducers if needed.
Don’t adjust this unnecessarily; it has been factory set for equal balance.
Turning clockwise boosts the signal for the Left Channel. This multi-turn
adjustment potentiometer has been deliberately “set back” from the
adjacent ZERO potentiometers to discourage accidental adjustment.
2.7 E
XCITATION VOLTAGE SELECT
The Excitation Voltage is determined by the position of jumper switch J3. Refer to Figure 4 for Jumper-switch locations. The jumper default setting is J3 (1-2) for 5.00V excitation Do not use 10V setting J3 (2-3) unless explicitly permitted by the load cell electrical specifications. Promptly verify the excitation voltage after power-up to avoid overdriving strain gages. Note that if there is no external load resistance, the voltage may rise to 6.4V, but will immediately regulate at 5.00V when the load cells are connected.
Keep in mind that the strain gage based load cells can readily operate at less than rated voltage (with a corresponding reduction in output signal). This fact is helpful in the event that a “10 V “ load cell exhibits an output signal that is excessive for even the lowest amplifier gain.
2.8 C
HANNEL SELECT
Jumper-switch J8 configures the inputs to the Variable Gain Summing Amplifier stage. For most applications involving a pair of transducers, it is placed in the J8 (1-2) position so that the analog outputs represent the sum of the left and right channels (LCH + RCH). During portions of the calibration procedure, or if only the left transducer channel is utilized, it is placed in the J8 (2-3) position. In this position, the signals at the analog outputs represent only the left channel (LCH).

AIN SELECT SWITCHES
The group of jumper-switches that control the fixed gain of the Instrumentation Amplifiers (IA) are located closest to the front left edge of the Input card. (Refer to Figure 4) Typically, you configure both channels to the same setting if both transducers are the same force rating.
When the amplifier is held horizontally with the pluggable connectors facing toward the right (refer to Figure 4), the leftmost cluster (J10, J9, J7) sets the gain for the LCH (Left Channel) Instrumentation Amplifier. Similarly, the right cluster (J6, J5 and J4) sets the gain for the RCH (Right Channel) Instrumentation Amplifier. The lowest gain (Av = 8) occurs when all of the switches are in the 1-2 position. As switches are moved “away” (into position 2-3) from left to right, the gain progressively increases as described in following table:
Left Channel
J10 J9 J7
1-2 1-2 1-2 5 1-2 1-2 1-2
2-3 1-2 1-2 25 2-3 1-2 1-2

2-3 2-3 2-3 620 2-3 2-3 2-3

Right Channel
J6 J5 J4
When changing the internal Jumper-switch settings, it is always advisable to change the settings with the 24 VDC power removed. If this is not possible, it becomes particularly important to use a non-conductive tool to alter switch positions.
Make sure that Jumper- switch settings are fully in position to avoid accidentally leaving a switch in an “in­between” state.
The total gain range of the amplifier is the product of the IA and summing amplifier gains (variable).
Using the lowest gain switch settings, the net gain is 5 x (.9 to 9.0 ) or 4.5 to 45
With the other gain combinations available, a 10 volt output can be produced with input voltages ranging from between 0.002 to 0.50 volts.
2.10 M
The damped output for a tension indicator can be configured as either a +/- 2V output or a +/- 1mA output by changing the position of jumper-switch J1 located on the Output Card (Refer to Figure 4 for location). Voltage output is selected by setting J2 (1-2). Current output is selected when J2 (2-3 ). Note that different wiring terminals are employed for the signal return when configured for current or voltage.
2.11 M
The amount of damping for the meter output (intended to drive a tension indicator) can be configured by the position of jumper-switch J2 on the Output card (refer to Figure 4 for location information). Setting the jumper switch to J2 (1-2) sets the break frequency at 0.3 Hz. Setting the jumper switch to J2 (2-3), the break frequency setting is raised to 3.7 Hz

Figure 5 - Full-bridge Transducer Wiring
The successful amplification of low level signals from strain gage transducers requires particular attention to wiring practices to avoid signal degradation in the industrial environment. Degradation can result from AC noise pickup and/or DC errors. Refer to the following guidelines to identify measures that may help retain signal quality:
Use Ultra Series shielded transducer cables to reduce pickup of noise through electrostatic coupling.
Route cables away from sources of electrical interference (motor wiring, contactors, etc).
.
Connect the shield drain wire at one end only to discourage shield currents
Optimum high frequency grounding requires low inductance connections that are enhanced with short
conductors or planar ground conductors (wide ground braids).
Do not pre-tin the stranded wires inserted into the pluggable connector.
A stable connection relies on the springy nature of stranded conductors to ensure a low contact
resistance despite thermal cycling and airborne impurities.
Avoid temperature extremes or gradients where electrical connections are made between different
metals. Connections can cause thermocouple voltages to be generated, which then become superimposed on transducer signals.
In severe cases, additional shielding may be required in the form of either external flexible braided
.

HE POWER SUPPLY
For best performance a regulated power supply should be used with the Ultra Series DIN Rail amplifier. It is important that you pay particular attention to the power supply for susceptibility to the effects of conducted and radiated energy from noise sources. Every effort should be made to provide stable voltage to the amplifier using correct wiring practices and filters. To protect against circuit damage, include a 0.38 Amp fuse in the power supply output lead to each amplifier in case of amplifier or power supply malfunction.

The load in this connection may be an indicator, recorder, data acquisition device or the analog input terminals of a control device such as a DC drive or a programmable logic controller. The output signal at this terminal is undamped and is the output terminal that provides that fastest response to changes in the transducer (load-cell) load. Note that the cable’s shield drain wire should be connected at only one end, preferably at the “receiving end”.

TO 20 MA ANALOG CURRENT LOOP
The 4-20 mA current loop output is undamped and can be used concurrently with the other outputs. The 20 mA current level corresponds to the +10V output. The 4 mA level corresponds to 0 volts on the 10V output.
This output does not have an individual Gain and Zero Potentiometer adjustment. If multiple types of analog output are being used, a compromise must be made during calibration, or a particular output be favored (over one that can best accommodate individual external scaling and offsetting).
The bias supply to drive the current loop is provided internally by the Ultra amplifier. External burden resistance (loop resistance) can range between 50 and 750 ohms.
The circuitry which drives the current loop is essentially a linear regulator stage. This means that internal power dissipation (hence temperature rise) is lessened when higher values of external burden resistance are used. Moderate values of burden resistance can be strategically employed to minimize internal temperature rise (and thereby minimize amplifier drift in sensitive applications).

PPLICATION INTERFACE DETAILS
The 4-20 mA output stage is designed to drive a loop current through a floating burden resistance. Examples of driving a loop current through a floating burden resistance include: a loop powered 4-20 mA display or, the isolated input of receiving electronics (isolated Analog to Digital input). The 4-20 mA output can also drive non-isolated (or ground referred) burden resistances provided that the circuit that employs the burden does not connect to the isolated common (COM, J2-3) of the amplifier.
For a better understanding as to why the burden must be floating with respect to the amplifier’s isolated common (COM, J2-3) refer to Figure 9. This figure illustrates that the 4-20 mA OUT (J2-7) is connected to the +15V internal supply voltage and the 4-20mA RET terminal sinks loop current toward the -15V internal supply. A truly floating burden receives the loop current that is controlled by the amount of current sinking into the -15V supply. The current is supplied by the +15V supply. Incorrectly connecting burden resistance between the 4 -20mA OUT and COM (J2-3) would cause excessive current to flow. Incorrectly connecting the 4-20mA RET (J2-8) to COM (J2-3) results in the 4-20mA current being drawn from ground and bypassing the burden resistance.
Figure 9 – 4-20 mA Output Circuit Wired for Floating Burden
While it is possible to interface the 4-20 mA current loop into circuits which do exhibit resistances between their burden and the amplifier isolated COM, (Refer to Figure 10.), this is a less desirable configuration. If you chose to wire the amplifier in this way, you must keep the following in mind. When the commons of both circuits are connected, be sure that the amplifier’s 4-20 mA OUT remains unconnected and that the 4-20 mA RET (J2-8) is connected to draw loop current from a ground referred burden resistance at the receiving circuit. The burden resistance must not exceed 250 Ohms due to the reduced bias voltage, however a full-scale signal of -5.0 VDC is still possible (-5V= -20 mA x 250 Ohms).

The meter output stage can be configured to operate as current output (sinking or sourcing current depending upon output polarity). It can be used concurrently with the other outputs. It does not have an individual Gain and Zero adjustment, necessitating that a compromise be made during calibration, or a particular output be favored (over one that can accommodate external scaling and offsetting).
To facilitate individual scaling of the analog meter a panel meter (MO-13655) with scaling board, is available as an accessory for use with Ultra Series tension transducer amplifiers. The scaling board lets the analog meter have a different scaling factor than that of the main (un-damped) analog output.

OWER-UP AND TESTING

EFORE APPLYING POWER
Before applying power, check the wiring to the amplifier. Pay particular attention to the following:
Double check the transducer connections to ensure that the excitation supply is not short-
circuited.
Use an approved anti-static wrist strap when adjusting any switch settings/potentiometers on the
amplifier.
Use the appropriate tool when making any adjustments to the potentiometers on the amplifier or
changing switch settings. Damage to the circuitry may occur if excessive force is used or a conductive tool accidentally contacts internal voltages.
Before applying power, confirm that the zero potentiometers are mid-span and the gain is minimum. Use the following table to adjust potentiometers:
Adjustment Potentiometer Default
Gain – P2 Full counter-clockwise
Zero – P1 Mid-way (9 turns from full counter-clockwise)
LCH – course zero Mid-way (6 turns from full counter-clockwise)
RCH – course zero Mid-way (6 turns from full counter-clockwise)

Apply DC power to the amplifier and use a DC voltmeter to confirm that the supply polarity and voltage is within the prescribed limits. As soon as is practical, confirm that the excitation voltage is either 5.0 VDC or 10.0 VDC as appropriate for the type of load cells being used. Promptly identifying any over-voltage condition can help minimize potential damage to the strain gage elements internal to the transducer. Note that the excitation voltage may rise to approximately 6.5 VDC if the amplifier is operated without any transducers attached. This voltage will return to the precisely regulated value when the transducer load is connected.
3.2 T
This step is important in identifying transducer or wiring problems early-on in the setup procedure. Information learned in this check will be instrumental in setting the optimum gains for the Left and Right Instrumentation Amplifier stages. The following steps described the polarity check only for the Left Channel (LCH), but the steps are applicable to the Right Channel (RCH) as well.
1. Measure the -LCH load cell signal with a digital volt meter (DVM) at the input to the amplifier with respect
to the Excitation Return (EXC RET) to confirm that it is roughly 58% of the excitation voltage.
Measure the +LCH signal to confirm that it is roughly 58% of the excitation voltage.
If both measurements are less than 50% of the excitation voltage, then it is likely that the BLU and BRN transducer cable leads have been mis-wired.
2. Measure the voltage at the +LCH input to confirm that it becomes more positive when a small trial force is
applied in the transducer’s intended force direction. The –LCH input should become less positive when the same force is again applied. If the “sense” of this voltage change is incorrect for the way the transducer is mounted, interchange the load cells wiring for –LCH and +LCH signals.
RANSDUCER POLARITY CHECK
OWER APPLICATION
Without a calibration force applied to the load cells, measure the “UNLOADED” DC voltage difference between the LCH+ and –LCH signals. Use the lowest practical voltmeter scale to provide a meaningful measurement. Remember or record this measured value for later use.
3. Apply the intended full scale force to the load cell and measure the “LOADED” voltage.
Both of these voltages, as well as the difference between these two voltages, help to indicate the best Gain setting configuration at the first amplification stage. Select the highest possible gain for the first stage that does not result in saturation (“clipping”) of the transducer signal. If the voltages do not exceed 180mV, then a gain of 25 is appropriate. Similarly, a lower signal of 35mV could use a higher gain of 125.
4. Set the IA gains using the Jumper-Switches (refer to section 2.9). We recommend using the same gain
setting for both the LCH and RCH, consistent with the requirement of avoiding saturation.
3.3 A W
This section describes the calibration process for establishing particular voltages at the +/- 10V analog output. If you intend to use the 4-20 mA output, then make that output the focus of your calibration efforts. Similarly, calibrate to the meter output if that is your primary focus.

The application of an accurate calibration force can be a challenge. Keep the following points in mind:
PPLYING FORCE TO TRANSDUCERS
The test force should be a moderate percentage of the intended working force of the
transducer, and never over the 100% Mean Working Force (MWF) or you may risk calibrating with an overloaded (“clipped”) transducer signal.
Allow the transducer and amplifier to reach thermal equilibrium before conducting
calibration. Ideally, the temperature should reflect the expected operating conditions.
Cycle the load on the transducer a number of times with the test force to pre-condition or
“set” the transducer prior to calibration. Repeat this procedure again before calibrating if the transducer has been disturbed (i.e. bolts re-torqued ).
Always apply and remove the test load in a continuously increasing or decreasing manner, so
that the force changes are monotonic. This helps to avoid disturbing any hysteresis component of the transducers force signal.
Keep in mind that passing a cord over a roll on its way to the transducer will inevitably
cause some amount of friction. The worst case scenario is in passing the working part of a cord over a roll that doesn’t readily freewheel. A test was conducted to determine the loss on a stationary 4” diameter anodized roll with a 90 degree wrap angle. It exhibited a 25 to 30% loss in force due to friction!
With very low force transducers, consider that connecting a test mass will involve some
finite cord mass.
When calibrating for a particularly wide roll that will always have a narrower product
tracking to one side, consider applying the calibration force at the roll position that represents the center of the product. This will automatically cancel some of the affects of transducer gain imbalance without the need to actually re-balance the transducers gains within the amplifier.
It is a good practice to verify linear operation of the transducer and amplifier by applying a
final test force that falls somewhere between the zero and full-scale endpoints. The intent is not to conduct any calibration per se, but to confirm the hardware’s ability to accurately report a measured force.
3.5 A
Using the correct tools simplifies the setup process and necessary adjustments. Keep the following points in mind:
DJUSTMENT TOOLS
The Ultra Series DIN Rail amplifier utilizes two different potentiometer styles. The Gain
and Zero adjustments located on the front of the amplifier are more likely to be adjusted over the life of the product. For that reason they are physically larger and more robust. The industry standard “pot tweaker” is an ideal tool. The adjustment tool should have dimension on the order of 0.5mm (.020 inches) blade thickness and be 2.5 mm wide (0.1inches).
The adjustments that are usually made only once during initial setup are located behind a
snap on access cover. This less obvious location helps to discourage alteration by unqualified persons. The infrequent adjustment of these potentiometers has warranted the use of smaller surface mount technology devices (SMT). A correspondingly narrower blade is needed (1.4 mm wide, 0.055”inches).
When changing the internal jumper-switch settings, it is always advisable to change the
settings with the 24 VDC power removed. If this is not possible, it becomes particularly important to use a non-conductive tool to alter switch positions. Be sure that jumper-switch settings are fully positioned, to avoid accidentally putting it in an “in-between” state.

Two individual coarse offset adjustments have been provided. There is an adjustment for each Instrumentation Amplifier channel because each transducer can have unique offset voltages. Keep in mind that the Coarse Zero adjustments are usually only adjusted one time, typically when the amplifier is installed, or transducers are replaced.
1. Ensure that the IA gain settings have been set as described in section 2.5.
2. Set the Zero pot on the front cover to mid-way (approximately 9 turns from either clutch actuation).
3. Set the Gain POT from fully counter clockwise.
4. Temporarily place jumper switch J8 to the (2-3) position. This position excludes the RCH signal from
contributing to the analog outputs so that only the LCH zero is represented on the analog output.
5. Connect a DC Voltmeter to inspect the +/- 10 VDC output signal for the “Zero”
condition (NO calibration force on the transducers ).
6. Adjust the LCH coarse POT (P5) to achieve the desired “Zero” voltage. As this is a coarse adjustment, a
voltage within 50 millivolts of the intended “Zero” should be adequate.
7. Return jumper-switch J8 to the (1-2) position for normal operation (where the sum of both channels is
reported on the analog outputs).

8. Adjust the RCH offset using the RCH Coarse Zero POT (P3).
3.7 A
This adjustment has been factory set for a “50/50” balance between channels. We recommend that you only adjust the LCH-RCH balance if it is necessary to better match the signals from transducers having substantially different output signals. To discourage unintended adjustment, the Balance POT is located behind the access cover and is recessed slightly behind the LCH and RCH offset POTS, requiring a more deliberate placement of the adjustment tool. Turning the Balance POT clockwise, will boost the signal for the LCH and reduce the signal for the RCH. Because of this, we recommend that you make any needed balance adjustments early in the calibration cycle. Adjust the Balance POT by observing the affect of an unequal application of calibration force upon the analog outputs. When adjusted correctly, the measured force reported by the analog outputs should be insensitive to the non-equal sharing of force between transducers.

Use the following steps to make your final calibration adjustments:
1. Verify Zero on the analog Outputs for the “unloaded” condition and adjust the (Fine) Zero POT to correct
for any minor offset voltage.
2. Apply the calibration force to the transducer(s) and adjust the Gain potentiometer to achieve the desired
span.
3. Verify linear operation of the transducer and amplifier by applying a force that falls somewhere between
the zero and full-scale endpoints. The intent is not to conduct any calibration per se, but to confirm the hardware’s ability to accurately report a measured force.
We recommend that you focus only on achieving a particular voltage “span” between the load and unloaded forces by alternating between the two force levels. Do not repeatedly adjust the Zero POT between measurements unless the offset voltage becomes excessive and interferes with achieving a valid output signal on the analog output. You should only adjust the final Zero after the desired Gain setting has been achieved.
These final calibration steps represent the minimal adjustments that might be required at periodic calibration intervals and front cover.

ONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATION
Compliance with the specified EMC directive, for immunity in a heavy industrial environment and emissions in a light industrial environment, requires correct installation and wiring of the MWI-13262 Ultra Series amplifier. The most important precaution to be taken in the wiring is to use double screened (shields) cabling for the cables from the transducers (load-cells) to the amplifier, and from the amplifier to the amplifier load. The outer screen of each cable must be firmly bonded to the enclosure that contains the amplifier, the transducer (load-cell) housing and the enclosure of the output load device. Large loops of unshielded cables must be avoided and effective cable glands providing 360 degree grounding of the outer screen of the transducer and output cables to the enclosure must be used. Refer to Figure 13 - EMC Connections for further details.
