Load Cell Adc Calculation
The other devices will be calculated the same way using the appropriate noise tables for the calculations.
Load cell adc calculation. It consists of an ad7799 adc controlled by an aduc847 microcontroller. While on the left side we have e e a a b and b. It interface with simple digital i o to any controller. Hx711 the hx711 is a 24 bit analog to digital converter adc.
The load cell will be connected with e e a and a. If you were using a 5v excitation current with the same load cell your full scale would be 10mv and therefore you would be effectively loosing one bit of resolution. From equation 42 and supplying the values determined for a 2mv v sensitivity and 10kg load cell you should be able to achieve better than 1g resolution using the settings shown in this application. A conversion scale graphic for each load and millivolt output range combination entered is also displayed below the calculated values.
Hx711 is a precision 24 bit analog to digital converter adc designed for weigh scales and industrial control applications to interface directly with a bridge sensor load cell strain guages. Strain gauge load cells. Figure 5 is a block diagram of a reference design a weigh scale system evaluation board designed at analog devices. Which has an amplifier which gives maximum gain of 128 as per the datasheet.
With an onboard low noise amplifier onboard oscillator precision third order 24 bit delta sigma modulator and bridge power switch the ads1231 provides a complete front end solution for bridge sensor applications including weigh scales strain gauges and load cells. As you can see on the right side we have ground dt sck and vcc. If you are working with a standard 2mv v load cell and a 10v excitation current this will give you a full scale input range of 20mv at the ad7730. This load cell millivolt output calculator provides a way to determine the output reading and range from the applied load load cell range and strain gauge output characteristics.
Strain gauge load cells are by far the most common type of load cell based weighing system in 2010. The load cell can be directly interfaced to this adc.
