BX6-ETH/CAN 6-Channel CANbus and Ethernet 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 BX6-ETH/CAN 6-Channel CANbus and Ethernet Strain Gage Amplifier is a 6-channel measuring amplifier for strain gauges with a CAN interface, as well as with Ethernet and UART port 3.3 V. Sensors with full-bridge strain gages are connected via the Sub-D44HD socket. The Sub-D44HD socket makes the BX6-ETH/CAN suitable for connecting model 6A force/torque sensors. The BX6-ETH/CAN is supplied with 9 VDC to 26 VDC via the connection block with spring terminals. The UART port 3.3 V is suitable, for example, for connecting a UART to USB converter or for connecting a modem. The Ethernet port is configured as a “serial port client”, but can be configured at the factory for other protocols. The supply power and bridge supply are galvanically isolated up to a voltage of 2.5 kV. The recording of measurement data is possible both via USB port and via the CANbus with the BlueDAQ software. The BlueDAQ software allows the reading, recording and visualization of measurement data via the CANbus with the help of a “PCAN-USB” converter (available as an accessory).
