Scale Bases
The IND560 supports two types of scale bases: Analog or IDNet.
Analog Load Cell Scale Base
The IND560 supports this scale type by an analog load cell interface. The terminal
can drive up to eight 350-ohm analog load cells.
IDNet
The IND560 supports the newer T-brick style of high-precision base through the
main board IDNet port. This port provides the +12 volts and communication
required to operate this newer style base. The older K module and Pik-brick cells
require the addition of an adapter board and new power supply (to support the
+32 volt requirement) to the IND560. The adapter board and power supply are
available as an option.
Options
The following options are available for the IND560:
•
Discrete I/O
–
–
•
Ethernet/Dual Serial Ports
•
Programmable Logic Control (PLC) interfaces, including:
–
–
–
•
Fill-560 (application software)
•
Installation kit for older pre-2003 high-precision bases using a Pik-Brick weigh cell
•
InSite
•
Various brackets for wall and column mounting of the harsh enclosure
Discrete I/O
The discrete I/O interface options include both internal and remote I/O.
•
The internal version is available with dry-contact relay outputs. The relay
contacts will switch up to 30 volts DC or 250 volts AC. The inputs are switch
selectable as either active (for simple pushbutton control) or passive (for
connection to PLCs or other devices that supply their own power for the I/O).
