General description#

This PCB is designed to supply external torque sensor Burster 8656 Torque Sensor and send the signals to the Analog LTC2311-16 card. The supply is taken from the voltage interface connector of an Analog LTC2311-16 board. The torque signal (+-10V) is reduced to a level of +-5V and low-pass filtered. The torque signal is connected to ADC1 channel of Analog LTC2311-16 and the remaining 3 Channels ADC2-ADC4 can still be used without limitations.

Layout#

The PCB is structured by functional areas as shown in Fig. 255 on the right.

  1. Double Ethernet connector to the ADC adapter board

  2. Measurement signal adaption to +-5V and low-pass filtering (708 Hz).

  3. Supply voltage 24V and 5V from ADC Card with Samtec cable MMSD-08-28-F-xx.xx-D-K-LDX

  4. Connector to the Torque Sensor D-Sub 15

Assembly and Connection#

A 3D-printable housing and an engraved aluminum cover designed for the uz_per_torque_box PCB. The assembly with all necessary parts, including a bill of materials (BOM), is shown below. The PCB can be used without the housing, but it is more rugged and much more beautiful with the housing.
