Multiple Indicator Weighing System
The R400, 5000 and R300 series indicators can all be networked back to a controlling PC.
Benefits of networking:
- Uses only one communication port on the master computer
- Saves on communications cabling
Supported Products
R400 Series indicators can be networked using:
- Multi-drop RS485 networked configuration with connection back to a controlling PC.
- Profibus DP using the Rinstrum 1400
- Ethernet using the M4221 module
The 5000’s can be networked using:
- Multi-drop RS485
- Modbus ASCII network
- Profibus DP using the Rinstrum 1400
The R320 and R323 support RS232 ring functionality back to a master computer making it suitable for basic weight networked applications.
- Connect up to 31xR320s into a ring network
- Simple setup with the R300 Viewer
In some applications there may be the need for the weight to be displayed away from the indicator, a small remote display satisfies this requirement for example in a silo installation the indicators maybe located in a control hut and remote displays on the silos.
