Wiring a NI 9237 and a Torque Transducer

 

Dear All

 

Newbie to these forums and NI equipment in general

 

I have a NI 9237 and using Labview 2014. I have recently managed to connect a couple of load cells to the NI 9237 and the VI I built for it is working great!

 

I now have to use a torque transducer and wondering whether the NI 9237 is suitable for my particular piece of equipment?

 

I have attached the data sheet for reference, and the transducer I have is the RT2A 5NM. There are a couple of areas that concern me on the data sheet are: (and please be gentl if these are simple assumptions or misassumptions I am making).

 

1) The nominal output is +/- 10V

2) The Nominal Power supply suggested is 15-24V (Can the NI9237 supply such Excitation voltage?)

3) The electrical wiring connection seems to rely on the supply voltage connection for the output voltage? (is this safe for the NI9237)

 

For point 1 in particular I cannot seem to find any calibration for scaling? or are torque transducers generally considered linear relationship between highest voltage and highest torque measurement possible?

 

Sorry if these all seem quite basic questions, the 9237 was quite expensive module so don't really want to rely on trial and error to build my next code?

 

Thank you for reading this post!
