What are IO-Link Load Cells
IO-Link can be used with load cells in industrial applications to enable enhanced monitoring, control, and diagnostics. Interface now offers customization of our most popular load cells with IO-Link capabilities. IO-Link is designed to connect and communicate between sensors, actuators, and other industrial devices with a higher-level control system. It operates over a standard three-wire connection, typically using unshielded industrial cables, and supports point-to-point communication.

Signal Conditioners 101
Interface Signal Conditioners are used with a wide range of load cell and force measurement devices. Transducers convert force or weight into an electrical signal. The output signal of a load cell is typically in the form of a small electrical voltage that is proportional to the applied force. Primary features of signal conditioners include amplification, filtering, isolation, and linearization. As detailed in Signal Conditioners 101, it can perform various functions depending on the specific application and the type of signals.
