Named for their s-type shape, S beam load cells are most often found in mechanical-to-electronic scale conversion applications, suspended hoppers or tanks and general purpose digital weighing scale applications. These load cells are available in capacities ranging from 25 lbs through 20,000 lbs.

USB Upgrade

S-beam Load Cell Configuration

Simply connect the load cell to the DI-1000U Digital Load Cell Interface & use the USB out port on the DI-1000 to connect to a PC via the USB port. The DI-1000U is a signal conditioner and 24-bit digitizer and handles all the communications functions to talk with USB port of a PC.  When connected this way, the load cell appears on the PC as a virtual COM port. Using a standard terminal emulator you can send commands to the sensor to display loads on screen. They can either be one at a time or in continuous operation mode. You can also use Matlab, LabView or other popular programs to communicate and get calibrated readings from the load cell.  Alternatively, use our application (LoadVUE) to display, log or plot load measurements on a PC.

If you do not need the very high precision of the DI-1000U, you can use our DI-100U digital load cell interface with 16 bit ADCs and Serial TTL or USB output.  The DI-100U is sufficient for accuracies of +/- 0.1% of full scale output.  Or in other words if you need to measure +/- 1 lb accuracy over 1000 lb range or +/- 0.1 lb accuracy over 100 lb range, then the DI-100U is more than adequate for your application.

High Data Output Rate Options
Normal data rate for DI-100U USB load cell interface is about 40 readings/sec and for the DI-1000U it is 80 readings/sec. You can add the high speed option to your order to get the data rate of the DI-100U to up to 275 readings/sec or the DI-1000U to up to 500 readings/sec. The high-speed option pricing shown below includes upgrade to the high-speed version of LoadVUE as well.

Load Cell Software
Digital USB load cells or resistive load cells with digital interfaces can be operated on a PC via our LoadVUE software. The software can be used with single load cells or multiple load cells and some can be used to control external devices via USB relays.
