BX3-M12-CAN 3-Channel CANbus AND USB Strain Gage Amplifier
The pricing listed on our website is only for U.S. buyers and all pricing is subject to change without notice. Any inquiries for products from buyers outside of the U.S. will receive a quote and availability from the licensed distributor nearest your region. These prices will be based on product availability, currency conversions, markets, taxes, shipping costs, as well as local support.
The BX3-M12-CAN strain gage amplifier is a 3-channel measuring amplifier for strain gages with a CAN interface and USB port. Sensors with full-bridge strain gages are connected via the 5-pin M12 sockets on the front. An M12 socket and an M12 plug are available on the back for connecting the CAN bus line. BX3-M12-CAN strain gage amplifier is supplied with 10 V DC to 28 V DC via the CAN bus line. Alternatively, the BX3-M12-CAN can be supplied with 5 V DC via the USB interface. Measurement data can be recorded both via the integrated USB port and via the CANbus using the BlueDAQ software. The BlueDAQ software allows measurement data to be read, recorded and visualized via the CANbus using a PCAN-USB converter.
