Load Cell Module DVP02LC-SL Reaction time for measurement CR#3: Explanations: The reaction time refers to how long you sample once. The shorter the reaction time, the shorter the filtering time, bringing forth less stable measured values. However, the longest the reaction time, the most stable measured values you will acquire.

Application Examples Tension Control This is an example of using DVP02LC-SL in a tension control application. The main processing unit is DVP-SX2 series PLC (DVP20SX2), responsible for the PID operation. The DVP02LC-SL is used for detecting the tension of the load cell. The measured value is outputted to the brake system from the DVP04DA-SL analog output module after the PID operation is done by DVP20SX2 in order to control the tension.
