METTLER TOLEDO Launches Smart Factory Weighing Indicator
This version empowers multi-cell analog strain gauge scales with individual cell weights.
METTLER TOLEDO introduces the IND360multiACM, the newest of its smart factory weighing indicators.
This version empowers multi-cell analog strain gauge scales with individual cell weights allowing advanced condition monitoring and Smart5 alarming for each sensor – alarms are localized to the exact sensor for fast replacement allowing your system to be up and running within minutes. When a cell or cable is damaged, an alarm is instantaneously forwarded to the control, IT system, and operator to minimize loss of production or out-of-spec production due to incorrect weight measurements.
IND360multiACM works all manufacturer’s scale types targeting existing “brown field” and new analog-based tank and hopper scales to be integrated with both an automation system, via Industrial Ethernet (EtherNet/IP, PROFINET @ 960Hz), and to a server via embedded OPC UA. LoadAdvisor speeds up commissioning while providing center of gravity to the control system and operator via graphic visualization. An at-scale junction box reduces cabling cost and installation time because it minimizes the number of wires to the control cabinet.
For automation only-applications, IND360multiACM also connects to EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, and CC-Link IE Field Basic and supports 4-20mA, 0-10VDC, Modbus RTU, and Profibus DP for legacy installations. IND360 automation compliance certificates can be downloaded from ODVA, Profibus International, the EtherCAT Technology Group, and CLPA.
