use the MTX load cell. This interface also supports the use of the RAAD Box, which
converts analog load cell signals into digital ones.
POWERCELL
The IND780 supports scales that use the POWERCELL PDX communications
network, typically found in vehicle scale and large tank weighing applications that
use the PDX load cell. When used with an external power supply, the IND780 PDX
interface can support as many as 24 cells. Up to four independent scale bases can
be logically addressed by the terminal. When used in combination with a PDX
network, the IND780 provides several diagnostic features such as predictive
failure, automated alerts and cell performance monitoring. These features help
lower maintenance costs and minimize downtime.
