Description

The Michigan Scientific’s MUX-BC-12 is a twelve channel strain gauge amplifier and multiplexing unit. Each of the six radial connectors can mate with two 3-wire hook-up quarter arm strain gauges. The MUX-BC-12 provides bridge completion, bridge excitation, amplification, and digitization of the signals.

The MUX-BC-12 has four output connections: two for power, and two for CAN/CAN FD. The output data is CAN 2.0 or CAN FD compatible. A shunt calibration can be initiated at power-up or initiated by user with the MUX configuration software. Additionally, the software allows for independent channel configuration and data recording to a PC.

MUX-BC-12 can be used for spinning application up to 12000 rpm by pairing it with a slip ring model S4.

Specification

Configuration

A software is provided for the configuration and simple data acquisition. The connection to the PC can be completed by an optional CAN to USB converter.
