The amplifier DA-PN is used whenever full bridge strain gauge sensors (e.g. force sensors) are to be connected with ProfiNet networks. The primary field of application is web tension and force measurement. The sensor signals are converted into digital signals with a cycle time of 0.5 ms. They are averaged and provided to the interface circuit at a distance of approx. 6 ms. From there, they are then switched in the corresponding data format.
