MCUT-E IO-Link measuring amplifier for strain gauge sensors

The MCUT-E IO-Link measuring amplifier from INELTA Sensorsysteme was developed for precise signal processing from strain gauge sensors. It reliably detects force, pressure, or weight signals and provides the measured values digitally via IO-Link.
Important parameters such as gain, filter, scaling, or limit values can be configured directly from the controller via the IO-Link interface. This simplifies commissioning and enables flexible adaptation to different sensors and applications.
Thanks to its compact design, easy integration into existing automation systems, and digital parameterization, the MCUT-E is ideal for modern machines and automated production facilities.

 

IO-Link – Standard for intelligent sensor communication

  • IO-Link is a globally standardized communication standard for digitally connecting sensors and actuators to the control level. A bidirectional point-to-point connection between the device and the IO-Link master transmits not only process values, but also parameters, status, and diagnostic data.
  • Compared to analog interfaces, IO-Link enables interference-free and loss-free signal transmission via standard sensor cables. Devices can be configured and customized directly from the control system or via engineering tools. Functions such as automatic device replacement with stored parameters (data storage) reduce downtime and simplify maintenance and service.
  • IO-Link thus forms a central basis for networked production facilities and Industry 4.0 applications.
