ABOUT SC21
The SC21 is a two-channel bridge signal conditioner with programmable gain and filtering. It is packaged in a 3U (5.25") high, 220 mm (8.7") deep, module. It accommodates transducers that represent 1, 2 or 4 active arms of a bridge circuit. Up to 16 SC21 modules (32 channels) can be installed in a single V710 termination panel. Therefore, a V213 module can be used with a single chassis of SC21 bridge conditioners. Strain gages, RTDs and other bridge-type sensors can be accommodated.

Each SC21 channel includes programmable gain from 1 to 2000 with prefilter gains of 1, 10, 100 and 1000 as well as post filter gains of 1, 2, 5 and 10. Each channel also includes a programmable Butterworth filter with cutoff frequencies of 10, 50 and 500 Hz. Each filter can also be bypassed. End-to-end channel calibration is accomplished by software configuring the input multiplexer on an SC21 channel to receive a reference voltage from the SC15 Serial Controller via the V710 backplane. Note that an SC15-AB11 Controller with Calibrator is required.
