Transmitter for Automated Weighing Processes



"The ACT350 weighing transmitter from METTLER TOLEDO is designed for the needs of control system integrators and OEM machine builders," said a company spokesperson. It provides 600 filtered-weight values per second for fast weighing processes with an accuracy of 10,000 d. No additional software filtering is necessary to eliminate vibrations. "This allows customers to quickly and cost-effectively integrate high-speed weight data into their automated PLC control systems," said the spokesperson.

Fieldbus connectivity via EtherNet/IP, PROFINET RT or PROFIBUS is incorporated in a compact DIN-Rail unit saving cabinet space. The ACT350 helps simplify the integration process by leveraging device description for easy installation.

An integrated OLED display shows weight values and can be used in combination with the keyboard to configure and receive status information.

"When it is impractical to place test weights on the scale, CalFree weightless calibration can reduce commissioning time and provide good results for tanks, vessels, silos, hoppers and conveyors," said the spokesperson.
