The invention discloses an on-site zero setting method and device for a
force sensor, and belongs to the technical field of industrial control. The invention provides a
force sensor field zeroing method, aiming at solving the technical problems that the operation is time-consuming, the process is complicated and the zeroing precision is low because the existing
force sensor field zeroing depends on a hardware manual knob
resistor. Firstly, an ADC module collects an initial output
voltage value of a force sensor
Wheatstone bridge and transmits the initial output
voltage value to a control module; the control module calculates a difference value
delta V with a target zero value and judges a preset interval to which the
delta V belongs; the corresponding DAC adjustment step length is matched according to the interval; controlling the DAC module to output an adjusting
voltage to a bridge compensation end; the steps of sampling, judging and adjusting are executed circularly until
delta V is smaller than or equal to 0.0001 V, and zero setting is completed; and finally, the final adjustment voltage of the DAC is stored in the storage module.
Software control replaces traditional hardware manual operation, equipment disassembly and
assembly are not needed, zero
setting time consumption is shortened, operation complexity is reduced, zero setting precision is improved through adaptive step length and closed-
loop control, and the method is suitable for
field calibration of force sensors in scenes of electronic weighing instruments, industrial control, material testing machines and the like.
