1. Sensor overview

The SX strain-gauge axial-force/load transmitter connects to a KC21 over RS-485/Modbus RTU. Its business code is 22115 and its ThinkLink template is axial_force_22115.

2. Product features

  1. 24-bit ADC with typical 1/10000 stability
  2. 10Hz/40Hz sampling and up to ten-point nonlinear correction
  3. Digital measurement plus monitoring for optional 4-20mA and 0-10V outputs

3. Application scope

  1. Axial-force monitoring for pits, bridges and structural supports
  2. Long-term load monitoring for cables, anchors and weighing members
  3. Industrial test rigs and machine load acquisition

4. Collector information

  • DTU: KC21
  • Interface: RS-485
  • Default mode: Battery / Class A
  • Serial: 9600, 8N1
  • Sensor power-on delay: 1000ms

Pre-deployment power confirmation: Site information was unavailable, so this integration defaults to a battery-powered KC21 in Class A. If the installation is continuously powered, change to Class C, use the MT-EB-POWER base template and review the heartbeat period; otherwise downlinks may be delayed or unavailable and power behaviour may be incorrect.

Connect supply polarity according to the device documentation and nameplate. Connect RS-485 A/B to KC21 485A/485B. Complete wiring with power removed and confirm the actual sensor supply range before deployment.

5. Data acquisition

The integration uses FC03. Three query events: 0-3 (force and signal), 10-14 (raw force, current and voltage), and 19 (software version). Collection and upload share app_70=900s; COV is disabled.

11. Supplementary notes

  1. 32-bit registers are decoded in low-word/high-word (CDAB) order.
  2. The manual conflicts on supply range and default baud rate. This firmware uses 9600; verify the nameplate and live serial settings.
  3. The engineering unit depends on site calibration and is intentionally left blank.
