I have bought the extended USB interface card (K8061)
I have some questions:

1) K8061 analogue input range is (0-5V) or (0-10V)
I'm going to use load cells as analogue inputs, but the load cell's output is very small (mv)
Can the card sense this small input or does it need to be amplified firest?
If it needs an amplifier, is it ready to buy or have to be done?

2) K8061 digital output maximum is (50V / 100 mA)
I'm going to use a motor with 24V and 4 W, so the current is 0.16666 A
Is it OK or what can I do?
(I have another motor 18V / 57rpm and I don't know if I can use it with the K8061 board)

3) I have bought temperature sensor kit K6001, its output is 15mA current loop
How can i use it as analogue input to the K8061 as its analogue input's range is (0-5V) or (0-10V)

I apologize for the prolongation and thanks a lot

You need an external amplifier.
Sorry but such amplifier is not available as ready built version.

You may have to use an external power transistor.
Here are some circuit examples:



(The transistor array used at the digital output of the K8061 is specified to 500mA max. There is safety margin in the specification 100mA of the K8061.)

Use the 0-5V range and add a resistor (e.g. 200 ohm) in parallel to the input. Feed the 15mA output current of the sensor through this resistor. You'll get 3V input voltage to the analog input.

Please note that the K6001 is NOT a current loop sensor.
It outputs a square wave with a duty cycle that varies according to the temperature.
The K8067 is a 20mA current loop sensor.

Thanks a lot
I appreciate your help

Can I have more information (examples or pictures)about how to connect temperature sensor (K6002) to K8061?
and how to read data from it by using K8061 ?

Reading the K6002 is impossible with the K8061, as timing is too critical.
We suggest you get the K8067 sensor.
