When speed is of the essence, the IND130 Smart Weight Transmitter from METTLER TOLEDO provides fast connectivity between an analog load cell and a PLC. The IND130 is designed for direct PLC/PC connectivity without a local display. The IND130 is available in a DIN rail mount or harsh enclosure version.
Connect your analog load cells via:
• Profibus® DP
• Allen-Bradley RIO
• RS232
directly to your PLC or DCS for batching, filling, tank/hopper weighing, and for inventory control without detouring data flow through any intermediate device, such as an indicator, local display, repeater, etc. Our smart weight transmitter is your pain reliever. The IND130 can be placed on a weighing spot close to your tank, silo, and reactor or wherever you want to weigh. A stainless steel enclosure guarantees smooth operation even in harsh environments.
Key benefits

• Very high data accuracy due to robust fieldbus data transmission
• Reduced installation/maintenance costs
• Quick setup and running via PC tool
• Easy calibration with CalFREE™ without test weights
• Stable weight data through TraxDSP™ digital vibration filtering
