Title: Programmable weighing & batching controller
Post by: bhai on April 10, 2003, 04:28:05 AM

Has anyone built any programmable weighing & batching controllers? Also has anyone interfaced load cells and how. Any option of directly interfacing/supplying power to load cells from the plc.

Thanks

I have designed and built several batching systems with various types of hardware. If you use a scale indicator that has the electronics for the load cell excitation voltage you can usual interface the indicator using analog out or RS232. Another option is using an itelligent module that provides the excitation voltage and a analog output but no display. Several companies offer these items and they are fairly easy to interface with. If you need more details let me know and I will try to help you out.

We have a very interesting Load cell transducer that has RS485 port and can be connected to the T100 PLC.

Pleasew visit us at WWW.LT-AUTOMATION.COM in the Analog Modules section.
