G-3080
LVDT Demodulator
The G-3080 module is used to demodulator the signal from a 5 or 6 wire LVDT
(LVDT = "Linear Variable Differential Transformer" or "Linear
Variable Displacement Transducer"...) sensors, for accurate displacement/position
measurement, at frequencies up to 20KHz. The board is using a special ratiometric
measurement circuit, which is insensitive to noise and Temp. drift problems,
common to other measurement techniques.
The module consists of a LVDT excitation and a LVDT demodulator circuitry which
together form a high speed displacement measurement system. With an appropriate
sensor it can measure displacement as small as 1 micron and at frequencies up
to 20 KHz.
The module is assembled from high linearity and low drift components, and operates
with most common LVDT sensors.
The amplifier can be operated by batteries and it's output signal can be transferred
to the data acquisition system via the AFL-500 Analog Fiber optic Link for complete
isolation of the system:
