Abstract
A digital load cell has a force measurement element, a power incentive module, a signal detection module, a microprocessor, a communication module, a current control module and a configuration control module. First configuration control information configures the signal detection module to use a corresponding detection mode to perform signal conversion. Second configuration control information configures the processor to use one or more corresponding kernels or processors for running. Third configuration control information configures the communication module to use a corresponding communication protocol, terminal matching and impedance control for communication. Fourth configuration control information configures the current control module to use the on/off, voltage values and current values of the power incentive module, the signal detection module, the microprocessor and the communication module. The configuration control module sends the first to fourth configuration control information according to a working mode selected by a user.
