Eurosens Difference system supports various configurations of lifting axles, pneumatic suspension schemes and trailers.
You must choose the configuration in configurator

■ Individual axle load measurement for truck and trailer.
■ Cargo load calculation.
■ Axle overload alarm.
■ Show axle load and cargo weight at the driver’s display.
■ Transmit axle load and cargo weight values to the GPS tracking system.

Eurosens Difference system consist from several parts:

1. Sensors

Air spring suspension – Eurosens Difference 01
Leaf spring suspension – Eurosens Difference 02

Also you can use any sensors with analog (voltage) output : vehicle sensors, strain gauges, load cells, pressure sensors, etc.

2. Electronic unit Eurosens Difference-T

■ Process voltage signal from one load sensor.
■ Stores the parameters (dimensions and weight) of truck or trailer (where its installed).
■ Stores the calibration data.
■ Transmits sensor signal to the digital message in RS485 interface with its address.

3. Eurosens Display RS

■ Receives information about axle loads from the Difference-T controllers.
■ Determines the weight of the cargo based on the mass-dimensions of the tractor or semitrailer truck.
■ Displaying of the axle load and weight of the cargo on the special indicator in the driver’s cab.
■ Warning of exceeding the permissible load on one of the axles.
■ Output to RS485 interface of cargo weight.

Eurosens Difference 02 in fact is resistive position sensor and is designed to provide information on the distance between the body and the axis of the vehicle. Measured value is proportional to axle load of vehicle.

Rated supply voltage Us = 24 V.  Output sensor voltage at the control points depending on the lever angle specified in Table 1.

Lever angle, degrees                         Output voltage, V
0                                                              1,54
10                                                            1,78
20                                                            2,02
30                                                            2,26
40                                                            2,50
50                                                            2,74
60                                                            2,98
70                                                            3,22
80                                                            3,46

It is important to observe when installing the sensor permissible angles of its lever movement.

Pneumatic axle load sensor is designed to measure the current axle load of a vehicle with air suspension. The sensor can be connected to any AVL unit with an analog (voltage) input.
