MCA12B-0
The B & R Automation MCA12B-0 module is a precision load measurement device in the M2N Multi Control Modules series. Manufactured by B & R Automation, it delivers a rated output of 2 mV/V and supports rated capacities from 10 kg up to 300 kg. With a safe overload limit of 150% and an operating temperature range of -20°C to +55°C, the MCA12B-0 provides high overload protection and stable repeatability of ±0.01% of rated output, making it ideal for accurate weighing and force-sensing tasks in industrial automation.
In technical terms, the MCA12B-0 exhibits excellent accuracy characteristics: non-linearity of ±0.02% of R.O., hysteresis of ±0.02% of R.O., and creep limited to ±0.02% of R.O. in 30 minutes. Its input resistance (410 ± 40 Ω) and output resistance (350 ± 3 Ω) ensure compatibility with most signal conditioning and measurement electronics. Temperature effects on zero and output are restrained to ±0.02% of R.O./°C, and the compensated temperature range of -10°C to +40°C safeguards performance across moderate environmental variations. Additionally, the unit withstands an ultimate overload of 300% of rated capacity without damage.
Beyond raw measurements, the MCA12B-0 excels in durability and integration flexibility. Its robust design endures dynamic loading and thermal cycling, while the broad operating temperature window ensures reliable operation in harsh settings. The module’s electrical characteristics align seamlessly with industrial instrumentation standards, facilitating straightforward integration into weighing platforms, test benches, and control systems. By combining precision, overload resilience, and thermal stability, the MCA12B-0 enhances process reliability and efficiency in demanding industrial applications.
