Why Choose the IMO XBF-LD02S Load Cell Input Module?

The IMO XBF-LD02S is a specialist 2-channel load cell input expansion module designed for IMO XGB programmable logic controller systems. It connects strain-gauge load cells directly to the PLC, allowing weighing and force measurement functions to be integrated into automated machinery without requiring separate analogue signal conversion equipment.

The XBF-LD02S provides two individually isolated load cell input channels and supports both 4-wire and 6-wire load cells. Each channel supplies a 5 V DC excitation voltage and supports load cells with sensitivity ratings up to 6.0 mV/V, making the module suitable for a wide range of industrial weighing applications.

With a maximum resolution of 1/40,000, input accuracy of ±0.01% at 25 °C and a 5 ms sampling cycle per channel, the XBF-LD02S provides precise weight measurement for demanding automation systems. Calibration and weighing parameters can be configured through the XG5000 engineering environment, simplifying integration with compatible XGB PLC applications.

High-Resolution Load Cell Measurement for Industrial Automation

Load cell input modules allow a PLC to measure weight or force directly from strain-gauge sensors. The IMO XBF-LD02S supplies the load cell excitation voltage, measures the resulting millivolt signal and converts it into weight data that can be used by the PLC for monitoring, alarms, batching, filling and automatic machine control.

Support for 6-wire load cells enables remote sensing to compensate for excitation-voltage errors caused by cable resistance, which is particularly useful with longer load cell cables. The module can also be used with conventional 4-wire load cells, providing flexibility when integrating weighing equipment into new or existing XGB automation systems.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial weighing systems.
  • Batching and dosing machinery.
  • Filling and packaging equipment.
  • Hopper and vessel weighing.
  • Checkweighing systems.
  • Force and tension measurement.
  • Material handling and process equipment.
  • Automated production machinery.
  • Load monitoring and overload detection.
  • PLC-based weighing control systems.
