Abstract
A wireless load cell monitoring system and method may comprise a remote load cell assembly and a base station. Embodiments of the remote load cell assembly comprise a remote processor, a remote memory, a battery, a remote transceiver, an analog-to-digital converter, and a load cell. Embodiments of the base station comprise a base processor, a base memory, a base transceiver, and a digital-to-analog converter. Embodiments of the remote load cell assembly pair with the base station using a wireless communication protocol, read analog voltage data from the load cell, convert the load cell analog voltage data into digital load data, and transmit the digital load data to the base station. Embodiments of the base station convert the digital load data into analog voltage data and output the analog voltage data.
