Description

USB520 Universal Signal Conditioner Module supports a wide range of sensor inputs such as ± 10 VDC, 0-20 mA, ±400 mV/V and TTL encoder pulses type inputs, USB520 USB Digital Signal Conditioner can be paired with various sensor types and eliminates the need for external power supply to the sensor and display equipment. The module is supplied by PC power through the USB bus, providing excitation voltage selectable 5-24 VDC / 1W to the sensor and simultaneously 5 VDC for Encoder.

The sensor output is digitized up to 4,800 SPS and processed by a microprocessor using the integrated high resolution (24 bits) analog to digital converter (ADC). As it supports a wide range of sensor inputs such as ± 10 VDC, 0-20 mA, ±400 mV/V and TTL encoder type inputs, USB520 USB Digital Signal Conditioner can be paired with various sensor types, such as:

- String Pot Position Sensors (draw wire sensor);

- Rotary Torque Sensors;

- DC LVDT Displacement Transducer - LVDT Signal Conditioning Module;
- TTL Output Encoders to measure RPM and Angle;

- Incremental Encoder Signal Converter.

The USB integration works hand in hand with SENSIT Test and Measurement software, which allows users to monitor the actual output of the sensor in real-time. FUTEK developed DLL Libraries to allow USB520 to also work with other software such as LabView® and Visual Studio.

Integration with Keyence Displacement Sensors

FUTEK electrical engineers partnered with a large medical device manufacturer to integrate USB520 with Keyence LK-G High-Speed, High-Accuracy CCD Laser Displacement Sensor.

The USB520 digital signal conditioner reads the 10V analog output from the Keyence LK-G controller and digitizes its output, providing up to 4,800 SPS @ 13.6 NFR (Noise-Free Resolution) digital output. Additionally, the USB520 enables logging and monitoring of the sensor output via a PC with FUTEK's SENSIT software.

This application demonstrates the USB520 capabilities as a universal digital signal conditioner, as it supports a wide range of sensor outputs such as ± 10 VDC, 0-20 mA, ±400 mV/V, and TTL encoder type outputs.
