What is the difference between a CS Series and the iLoad Analog load cell?
The CS Series load cells is superseded by the iLoad Analog series of load cells. The iLoad Analog load cell has two important improvements: Deterministic outputs The CS Series load load cell had a 2V window of output voltages in the 0-5V range. However the output voltage at zero load could be anywhere in the 0.5 to 1.5V range and the output voltage at the full scale load could be anywhere between 2.5V to 4V. This made it difficult for an end user to write programs deterministically. The iLoad Analog load cell is always close to 0.5V at zero load and always close to 4.5V at full scale loading. This lets a programmer to deterministically set levels at which certain actions are taken. Temperature Compensation The CS Series load cell was a purely analog load cell with temperature compensation performed in the analog domain. The iLoad Series is built on a digital platform and has a microcontroller and a temperature sensor inside the load cell. The environmental compensation is done in the d
