Integrated electronics for in-cylinder transducer
4 Jun 2013
The ICT800 and ICT820 models from Penny + Giles are designed to simplify installation and eliminate cabling in hydraulics.
The two systems combine the features of the company’s LVDT and potentiometer technologies into a single, rugged and reliable displacement transducer.
Additionally, both the ICT800 and ICT820 models have signal conditioning integrated into the transducer’s flange, which simplifies installation and eliminates interconnecting cables that can reduce the reliability of a control system.
The ICT800 features 12bit resolution and operates from either an 8 to 30Vdc (unregulated) supply or a 5Vdc (regulated) supply and provides an absolute analogue output signal of either 0.5 to 4.5Vdc or 0.2 to 4.8Vdc.
The ICT820 features 13bit resolution with a CAN SAE J1939 interface and also operates from an 8 to 30Vdc or 5Vdc supply.
It is also factory configured for measurement range and low-high signal output position and has a choice of five Baud Rates, three Frame Rates and multiple Node ID options for the interface.
Both models have sensor body diameters of 8mm, designed for small-bore cylinder applications or for installation into hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders where space is at a premium.
The ICT800 and 820 in-cylinder linear transducers are constructed in stainless-steel, have a working pressure of 670bar (10,000psi) and an operating temperature range from -40 to +125°C.
