Smart load cells: an industrial application
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a data acquisition solution using a RISC type microcontroller with very few components around, taking advantage of the ratiometric functioning of the load cells. The need of thermally stable circuits is minimized through the use of the same amplification chain for both signal and reference. The amplification and filtering are done trough switched-capacitor techniques controlled by the microcontroller. This option allows the choice of the proper scale according to the platform and permits the autocalibration of the system. The weighing tests show errors below 100 g in 400 kg for an industrial platform of eight smart load cells. The paper also describes an example of software calibration of a multiload cell weigh-bridge using one processor per smart load cell. q 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

Load modeling is widely used in power system studies. Two types of modeling, namely, static and dynamic, are employed. The current industrial practice is the static modeling. Static modelss are algebraic equations of active and reactive power changes in terms of voltage and frequency deviations. In this paper, a component based on static modeling is employed in which the aggregate model is deri...
