Modbus
An industry standard protocol used by popular SCADA and HMI systems.
Moisture sensor
A mA input function to incorporate moisture reading from an external moisture sensor.
Multispan
Since every material has its own unique physical properties, and may impact differently, a span
calibration is required for each material to realize maximum accuracy.
PID
Proportional Integral Derivative control is used to control the feed rate to a setpoint, either
internal to the BW500 or external.
RAM
Random Access Memory.
Random Access Memory
Memory that has both read and write capabilities.
Relay
An electromechanical device with contacts that can be closed or opened by energizing a coil.
Routine Span
Any operator initiated span calibration.
Routine Zero
Any operator initiated zero calibration.
Setpoint
A value that the integrator is trying to match.
SmartLinx
An interface to popular industrial communication systems.
