FAQ

How is signal calibration handled for the DSQC 355A?

Calibration for the DSQC 355A (3HNE 00554-1) is managed through the RobotWare operating system. Users can define scaling factors within the system parameters to convert voltage levels into engineering units like Bar, PSI, or Newtons.

Does this board support current loop signals like 4-20mA?

The native interface is voltage-based (0-10V / ±10V). To interface with 4-20mA sensors, an external precision resistor or a signal conditioner is required to convert the current into a compatible voltage range for the DSQC 355A (3HNE 00554-1) inputs.
