NI 9237

Please help us with to setup NI 9237 and NI 9411 with NI cDAQ-9174  to measure the load, torque and angle at the same time. We are using RJ 50 for the connection between load and torque sensors to NI 9237.

 

For the Load cell, we wired positive and negaitve signals and exicitation pins. it is not reading properly....

 

Questions:

 

1. Exitation Voltage for the load call is 10V, do we need an external supply?

 

2. Do we have to attach the Shunt Calibration pins?

 

3. attaching the specification sheet for Load cell and torque sensors. Please explain.

Hi Kwindsor,

 

1. The NI 9237 can supply up to 10 V of excitation internally, so you shouldn't need an external supply. 

2. You shouldn't need to connect the shunt callibration 

 

Synchronize 9401 and 9237 Measurements will give you a good idea how to synchronize these measurements.  The example is use a count edges task, but you can change this to an angular encoder task for your application.  Can you get any measurements on your 9237 at all?  This KnowledgeBase article will tell you how to configure this load cell measurement in Measurement and Automation Explorer to test the readings from your load cell.
