(1888PressRelease) August 29, 2013 - Electro Standards Laboratories, Cranston, RI, has added a new white paper to the Download Section of the company's Website. The paper is titled "Make Your Own Plug-and-Play Load Cell System." The paper outlines the problems that technicians face when a variety of load cells are needed to calibrate a system or when they need to conduct a range of force measurements for a testing application. Loading the wrong parameters for a load cell, or corrupting the existing calibration data can lead to erroneous results and costly re-calibration expenses.

The solution to these problems seems to be the implementation of TEDS technology. The TEDS standard specifies a huge number of detailed electronic data templates. The white paper delineates the complexity of using the TEDS data templates. The issues discussed in the paper include the degrees of standardization of the electronic data templates, the various vendors' interpretation of the data, and whether the particular vendor's TEDS unit will support the calibration data for a specific application. Additionally, compensation for the instrument itself is not included. Matched load cell multi-instrument systems, where a field service calibration group might be attaching different load cells to different instruments, can also present a problem.

The white paper simplifies the problem by providing information on TEDS implementation utilizing the ESL TEDS-Tag Auto ID System. The paper provides in three easy steps information on how to make your own TEDS-Tag plug-and-play load cell. It also provides instructions on how to make an in-line TEDS-Tag ID System. The paper concludes with how the converted TEDS-Tag load cell can be connected to the ESL Model 4215 Strain Gauge Indicator or CellMite digital signal conditioner. The startup steps are listed as well.
