Abstract

A load cell transducer including one or more strain gauges configured to generate a first signal indicative of a force applied to the load cell transducer and a sensor configured to generate a second signal indicative of an acceleration and an orientation of the load cell transducer. The load cell transducer further includes a controller communicatively coupled to the one or more strain gauges and the sensor. The controller is configured to determine a weight of an object based on the first signal, determine at least one of a static inclination or an acceleration of the load cell transducer based on the second signal, and output a message indicating an issue of the load cell transducer based on at least one of the static inclination and the acceleration.
