4-1. How to calibration

4 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

A data sheet will be attached to a strain gauge sensor you buy.

On the data seat, the following values are listed.

Capacity Rated Output

Non-Linearity Hysterisis

Input Resistance Output Resistance

Zero Balance etc.

The Capacity and the Rated Output are necessary values for the equivalent input

calibration. Input these two values to F350.

POINT

"Calibration" refers to an operation whereby matching between the F350 and a strain gauge sensor

is obtained. The F350 uses the two calibration methods as described below.

■Equivalent input calibration

Calibration is performed without an actual load by entering the rated output value (mV/V) and the

capacity (to be indicated) of the strain-gage sensor by the keys. Calibration is easily performed

when no actual load is available.

For example,

for load： 2.001mV/V－100.0kgf for pressure： 2.002mV/V－10.00kgf/cm for torque： 2.502mV/V－15.00kgf・m

4　CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

Chapter

Gain will be automatically decided by registering the values indicated as follows.

■Actual load calibration

This approach provides calibration by applying an actual load to the strain gauge sensor and

inputting the actual load value. This calibration is without little errors and more correct.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

Perform either actual load calibration or equivalent input calibration.

If an actual load cannot be applied, make sure to perform equivalent input calibration

alone.

The equivalent input calibration and the calibration protect uses the following procedure :

Turn off the calibration protect that inhibits

calibration.

Set the excitation voltage according to the sensor

used.

Set the decimal place.

Set the desired minimum value of digital increments.

(This step may be omitted if there is no change.)

Set the zero point of the strain gauge sensor in no-

load condition (with the sensor unloaded).

Equivalent input calibration

Actual load calibration

Set the span (gain) point of the strain gauge sensor with a load applied to the sensor.

The calibrated value can be offset in advance.

(When not using, set "0.")

Set the load limit that allows Digital Zero.

* The OK output conditions basically depend on the calculated value, but it can also be

output as the ch1 value and ch2 value are intertwined. See "6-6. Comparison OK

output conditions" on page 49.

■HI/LO limit setting method

See "≪HI/LO limit setting mode function≫" on page 21.

6-3. Hysteresis

This function is to allow a margin for timing at which HI/LO of the HI/LO limit comparison is

turned off. Normally, HI is turned on when the indicated value exceeds the HI limit and is turned off

when the indicated value falls below it. However, by setting the hysteresis, HI is turned off when

the indicated value falls below the HI limit further lowered by the hysteresis value. This function is

effective to prevent chattering (phenomenon in which signals repeat turning on/off immediately

after switching of relay contacts and switch contacts) in such a case where signals fluctuate

(vibrate) subtly.

The setting is common to the calculated value, ch1 value, and ch2 value, which operates

individually.

■Average hold

The average of the sampling values over the specified section is calculated and updated, and then

(Example) Externally specified section average value hold

t1: A delay time between the instant

when the SECTION signal is inputted and the instant when the value to be held is detected

Approximately 0.7ms （MAX.）

The delay time and signal width

expressed apply when the A/D conversion speed is 3000 times/sec. They become 10-times when the A/D

conversion speed is 300 times/sec.

The detection section is limited by the maximum average value detection time set according to the

Chapter

"average sample number." If the maximum average value detection time is exceeded, detection is

automatically terminated, and the average value of that time is held.

■Average sample number

In the average hold, the maximum average value detection time for average processing by each

sampling depends on the A/D conversion speed as follows:

When the A/D conversion speed is 300 times/sec: 50sec.

When the A/D conversion speed is 3000 times/sec: 5sec.

Then, if this average sample number is set at 2 or more, the sampling data used for average

calculation becomes the representative value of the sampling values of the set number (average

obtained according to the number). By this setting, the average value detection time can be

elongated, but error causes by average calculation increase.

Example) When the A/D conversion speed is 3000 times/sec,

Maximum average value detection time = Average sample number × 10 sec.,

and also the number of average updates will decrease.

Number of average updates = 3000 times/sec. ÷ Average sample number

7-4. Auto reset function

It is factory-set that each hold is automatically reset at the start of the detection section, and

therefore, simple control can be performed by one signal without releasing the hold.

However, when the auto reset functions, if the signal causes chattering, the point that should be

taken originally may deviate. Switching is provided so as to prevent the next detection from being

performed until the T/H signal is turned on even if the SECTION signal is turned on again.

《Setting value》

0：OFF After a hold is fixed, the next detection is not started until the T/H

signal is turned on even if the SECTION signal is turned on.

Chapter

1：ON After a hold is fixed, the next detection is started when the SECTION

signal is turned on again even if the T/H signal is not turned on. This is

the initial setting (factory default setting).

9-3. D/A converter output

A D/A converter is provided for obtaining analog output synchronized with the indicated value of

the F350.The analog output ranges are -10 - +10V output and 4 - 20mA constant-current output.

By using the D/A zero setting and D/A full scale setting functions, analog output can be obtained

between zero (0V, 4mA) and full scale (10V, 20mA) with respect to the predetermined digital value.

The output circuit and the main unit circuit are isolated.

The resolution is 1/10000 with respect to the ranges of -10 to +10V and of 4 to 20mA, and the

conversion speed follows the A/D conversion speed.

The maximum voltage output range are about ±11V, the maximum current output range are about

2.4 - 21.6 mA

■Connection

Chapter

For the output terminals of the D/A converter option, a cage clamp type terminal block is used.

Make connections by the following procedure.
