I am having some trouble with the RB-Phi-204 Load cell. I have this hooked up to a Beckhoff EL3356 card which is made for load cells. [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The analog EL3356 input terminal enables direct connection of a resistor bridge or load cell in a 4- or 6-wire connection technology. I have the load cell powered with 5VDC but I don’t seem to be reading the load cell correctly. Is this load cell a full bridge like pictured below?[/font]

Hi,
Yes, the 500Kg S Type Load Cell is a full bridge load cell.
]Could you try to power the load cell at 9V instead of 5V (as the recommended supply voltage is 9V-12V)? /:m]
]Could you also post a clear picture showing your wiring ?/:m]
]What is the output of the Beckhoff EL3356 card (amplified analog signal, digital) ? What are the readings you get ?/:m]
