Interface’s new SimulatorECX is the most accurate load cell simulator currently available on the market, engineered to serve as a high-precision transfer standard for testing laboratories. It mimics the electrical output of a strain gage load cell with absolute precision, allowing technicians to calibrate, troubleshoot, and verify signal conditioners, displays, and data acquisition systems without applying physical force. Featuring NIST traceability and TEDS (IEEE 1451.4) compliance, the E-CX Series acts as a “golden standard” reference. It provides an equivalent bridge impedance of 350 Ohms and ultra-stable mV/V outputs, ensuring that your instrumentation chain maintains the highest levels of integrity and accuracy. It offers unmatched calibration confidence and is audit-ready compliant. It provides modern workflow integration, ideal for in-lab and remote automation.

Features and Benefits

  • Single Step ±4, ±3, or ±2 mV/V
  • Low Thermal EMF Design for Superior Thermal Stability
  • Individually Calibrated
  • Aged And Calibrated
  • Rugged Design with IP20 Rating
  • Isolated Remote-Control Input
  • TEDS IEE1451.4 Compliant
  • Rohs Compliant
  • Optional Remote Automation Controller
  • Option For Custom Mv/V Setting

Options

  • Remote automation controller
  • Custom mV/V settings

Summary of Differences

  1. Modern Compliance (RoHS)
  2. Automated Workflow (Remote Control)

The legacy CX was a purely manual “benchtop” tool—you had to turn the rotary knob to change the mV/V output physically. The E-CX offers a Remote Automation Controller option. This is a game-changer for high-volume labs; it allows a computer or PLC to automatically cycle the simulator through its steps, significantly speeding up calibration routines.

  1. Data Integrity (TEDS)

While some later versions of the CX had TEDS as an option, the E-CX highlights IEEE 1451.4 compliance as a core feature. This allows your data acquisition system to electronically read the simulator’s calibration data (sensitivity, serial number) directly from the chip, ensuring the instrument is perfectly scaled every time without manual entry.

Quick Comparison: E-CX vs. Legacy CX

Feature New E-CX Series Legacy CX Model The Upgrade Value
Regulatory Compliance RoHS Compliant Often Non-Compliant Critical. Essential for global labs and companies with strict environmental purchasing mandates (especially EU markets).
Smart Integration TEDS (IEEE 1451.4) Optional / Manual Plug & Play. The simulator can now "identify" itself to TEDS-ready instruments, auto-scaling the setup and reducing human error.
Automation Remote Control Option Manual / Switch Only Efficiency. You can now integrate the E-CX into automated calibration rigs, removing the need for a technician to flip switches physically.
Precision (Relative) 0.0025% 0.0025% Unchanged. You keep the market-leading accuracy that made the original CX the industry standard.
