UTILCELL SWIFT - Weighing Indicator and High Speed Transmitter

UTILCELL (Spain) - The SWIFT is a Weighing Indicator and High-speed Transmitter, especially indicated for Process Weighing & Machinery, in both static and dynamic applications. Now is available with the specific Dosing and Filling Application (APP) turns easy the control of the dosing processes of filling and dosing of materials such as liquid, powder or granules.

Due to its design as well as the many possibilities of data transmission, smart weighing functions, digital inputs and outputs, it is ideal for connection to PLC, PC and remote systems making easy the integration in automated systems. We highlight the ease of commissioning and the reliability improvement and speed of the process without the need to add external control systems.

Its main characteristics are:

• High-speed reading: 2400 measures per second.
• High resolution: 24-bit ADC with 16,000,000 internal divisions and 100,000 external divisions.
• Legal-for-trade IPFNA Legal Weighing Measurement Certification (Non-Automatic Weighing Instruments Weighing Indicator).
• Calibration by masses or in mV/V.
• Calibration sealing by software or mechanically.
• Configuration and calibration by keyboard or computer.
• Selectable digital filters.
• Power up to 8 load cells (350 W) or up to 16 load cells (700 Ω).
• RS-232 & RS-485 communication (Modbus RTU & ASCII).
• PROFIBUS, PROFINET & ETHERNET/IP communication.
• Analogue output configurable at 0-5 V, 0-10 V, 0-20 mA & 4-20 mA, with galvanic isolation.
• 3 Digital opto-isolated inputs with status LED.
• 3 Digital outputs to relay with status LED.
• DIN Rail and Panel mounting versions.

Other regular applications:

• Filling and dosing machines.
• Weighing and level measurement in tanks & silos.
• Check-weigher scales.
• Animal weighing scales.
• Test machinery.
• High-speed dynamic sorting scales.
• Multi-head scales.
• PC/PLC weight transmission.
• Multiple weight indicators in the same bus.

HBM ClipX

With an accuracy class of 0.01 and an integrated calibration certificate, the interference-proof signal conditioner ClipX is setting new standards in industrial process control. ClipX adapts to your measurement task, regardless of whether it is used with single- or multiple-channel applications, in manufacturing machines, in test benches or for production monitoring. Owing to the Plug and Play principle, up to six devices can be plugged simultaneously in a modular setup and the measured data can be pre-calculated. Unlike conventional measuring signal conditioners, ClipX does not require a separate head module for direct data processing.

ClipX provides all the latest automation interfaces to perfectly integrate the device into comprehensive control concepts. A particular feature is the intuitive web interface that also enables remote operation, parameterization, and diagnosis.

Hardy E-Scale IIoT Ready Intelligent Scale System

The new Hardy E-Scale Bench scale series is the world's first IIoT-ready (Industrial Internet of Things) scale base. It includes an integrated Hardy weight processor for direct network connection for either EtherNet/IP® or Profibus-DP® networks. Depending on configuration, the E-Scale offers complete flexibility in size and capacity for use in a wide range of weighing applications. E-Scales eliminate possible failure points and save the cost of extra splice-boxes and other components.

The latest E-Scale design brings power and networking connections out to the edge of the scale for a fully plug-n-play experience by the user. With their rugged construction and stainless steel tops, E-Scales are a great fit for dry food processing, laboratory and industrial installations. The E-Scale line of bench scales comes in a variety of configurations with a built-in interface for direct connection to a PLC, PAC, DCS or PC. All E-Scales come standard in 12”x12” and 24”x24” sizes, and range in capacity from 33 lbs – 1300lbs (15 kg to 600 kg).

The covers are all stainless steel for durability. The bases have no bearings, spirit levels, or moving parts that can be damaged or wear out. They come standard with Hardy Process Toolbox features, including Waversaver®, C2®, Webserver, and Rockwell Automation integration tools such as Faceplates, and Add-on-profiles.
