The module contains one high resolution Weight input channel with a parallelling capacity of up to 10 x 300 Ohm load cells, 6 digital input channels, 4 of which can be configured as digital outputs and an internal user programmable Calculator channel for local control. The module can be configured to perform Belt Weight functions with either an active signal (belt running) or a pulse frequency proportional to the belt velocity.
Supply voltage: 24 V DC.

The Weight Transmitter is one of a collection of distributed process control units, intended for use within the P-NET fieldbus system. It provides a versatile interface between weighing elements, the associated digital elements such as valves, switches, motors etc. and the P-NET fieldbus.
The unit provides high resolution internal conversion of load measurements into engineering units with single and double taring of the measured value. The weight change per time (Flow) is continuously calculated.
Belt Weight functions with either an active (belt running) signal or a pulse frequency proportional to the belt velocity can be configured. The continuous fully integrating, non sampling principle offers high noise immunity. The influence of vibrations can be damped with the adjustable averaging function.
