SNAP Load Cell Modules
Description
The SNAP-AILC and SNAP-AILC-2 modules each provide one
channel of transformer and optically-isolated analog-to-digital
conversion for load cell inputs.
These modules support 6- or 4-wire load cells (4-wire is at reduced
performance). Both modules provide isolated 10 VDC bridge
excitation for up to four parallel 415/350 ohm load cells as a load
cell front end. For both modules, 24 VDC is required at the separate
connector on top of the module.
The bridge and 10 VDC bridge power are isolated from the 24 VDC
bridge source and the 5 VDC source used by the mounting rack.
The 24 VDC input is reverse-polarity protected and may be used for
multiple modules. The 10 VDC bridge source is current limited so
that an external fault on the load cell is isolated and will not affect
another load cell module.
There are two channels of data: channel 1 is unfiltered, and channel
2 is filtered by a 0 to -48dB programmable digital filter. The filtered
data has a fast settling feature with a programmable fast settle
level. This feature decreases settling time when there are large step
changes in the load cell output and high filter weights. For more
information, see
on page
As part of the SNAP PAC System, these modules can be used with
all SNAP PAC brains and rack-mounted controllers. The modules
snap onto Opto 22 SNAP PAC mounting racks, and field connections
are made by a pluggable terminal strip on top of the module.
The SNAP-AILC and SNAP-AILC-2 are configured using PAC
Manager or PAC Control.
Features
SNAP-AILC works with 2 mV/V or 3 mV/V load cells;
SNAP-AILC-2 works with or 3 mv/V or 4 mV/V load cells
Provides both direct ADC readings and filtered values
Convenient pluggable wiring terminals
Module converts power from an external 24 VDC power
supply to isolated 10 VDC for bridge excitation for up to
four 350 ohm load cells.

Notes for legacy products: SNAP-AILC and SNAP-AILC-2
modules can also be used with legacy SNAP Ultimate, SNAP
Ethernet, and SNAP Simple brains that have analog capability, and
with SNAP M-series and B-series mounting racks. These modules
cannot be used with the serial B3000 brain.
The SNAP-AILC is also supported by legacy software ioManager,
and both modules are supported by ioControl. See the following
table for minimum firmware and software versions required.

SNAP PAC System Migration Technical Note, and form #1693, Legacy
and Current Product Comparison and Compatibility Charts.

... SNAP Load Cell Modules Using the Filter Weight and Fast Settling Features There are two channels of data on the SNAP-AILC and SNAP-AILC-2 modules. The first channel provides raw Analog-to-Digital (ADC) data, while the second channel provides filtered data. The filtered reading is calculated by the module from channel 1 data after every ADC conversion ...
