Digital amplifiers from Synectic Design
Synectic Design is renowned for the high quality and excellent value instrumentation amplifiers produced, but now many process control systems require the digital input available from the latest units
Since its introduction, a number of years ago all SY018 load cell amplifiers have been 100% reliable.
The SY018 has proven to be extremely robust, even in the most demanding and extreme conditions.
Examples of such situations firstly include the control of deep-sea drilling equipment - experiencing some of the most severe weather conditions.
Secondly, SY018 load cell amplifiers have been used in Formula One racing cars to accurately monitor wheel position; in this application the SY018 experiences high temperatures and extreme vibration.
In various situations SY018 amplifiers have operated continuously, with only a typical performance error less than 0.1%.
The SY018 is very easily connected between the input and output devices via simple external rising clamp terminals - without the need to open up the casing.
The unit is also easily mounted onto a standard din rail.
Synectic SY018 amplifier can be connected to a wide variety of input or output devices.
Any type of load cell input is accepted and a data logger, computer or any other Synectic Design device can be used as an output.
The SY018 amplifier offers an extremely wide bandwidth from 250Hz to 5 kHz.
It is available with either voltage (+/-10V) or current (4-20mA) output with excellent stability between 0 to 70 deg C (voltage out: 50uV/degC and current out: 20nA/degC).
The amplifier is powered by a nominal 24Vdc (17 to 30V), with an input diode to protect the unit against a reverse polarity connection.
A mains powered option has been introduced recently.
Synectic Design has been designing and manufacturing industrial process control and measurement instrumentation and systems since 1993 and are considered as leaders in the process electronics industry.
