Measuring the pressure using (Honeywell PX2EN1XX150PSCHX, pressure transducer) using NI-USB 6001

Hi LabVIEW help team! 

 

I don't have much experience, how to connect the Honeywell transducers with LabVIEW using NI-USB-6001. I have gone through the specifications of Honeywell transducer (PX2EN1xx150PSCHX) and NI-USB_6001. 

 

Honeywell transducers range of voltage is (+/-16V). 

Does someone has already worked on it? Can anyone please guide me little how to make connections? I know that voltage supplier for pressure transducer will be needed. Would there be any other hardware needed? 

 

I will greatly appreciate any help! 

 

Thanks, 

Sandy

Hi Singh,

 

Honeywell transducers range of voltage is (+/-16V). 

Where did you read this?

You are using the PSCHX-type, which means "current output": The datasheet gives 8-30V supply voltage range…

 

You need:

- a power supply for your sensor (I recommend 24V)

- a shunt resistor to convert current to voltage (I recommend 250Ohm, 0.1%)

- use your USB6001 to read the voltage across the shunt…

Best regards,
GerdW
