MTS Insight™ Material Testing System 50
Controller Connections
Installation
J6 and J7
Monitor
Two Monitor connectors are provided. There are several possible uses for analog
monitor outputs: external data acquisition, tuning, troubleshooting, and so forth.
For tuning, it is desirable to monitor command and feedback, or command and
error, simultaneously while changing the controller parameters. Therefore, two
monitor outputs are provided. Specifics for these connectors are:
• Analog +/-10.5 V
• Calibrated to +/-10 V
• 16-bit resolution minimum
• BNC connectors
Note The load cell is mounted to the crosshead and its wiring is internal to the
frame, thus its connector is not on the rear panel.
J8 and J9 DC
Conditioner
Two DC Conditioner connectors are provided. The two application specific
transducers might be biaxial strain gage base extensometers. With external
completion resistors, the DC conditioners could be used with quarter bridge
strain gages. Pin assignment is as follows:
