All digital scales using Cardinal Scale's SCBD SmartCell® or DC digital load cells are
connected together with a daisy-chained CAN (Controller Area Network) cable. The load cell
connection loop can begin at any load cell and may continue clockwise as shown or counter-
clockwise if preferred. Note that in the tank/hopper example below there is not a connection
between cells 1 and 2 and in the truck scale example, there is not a connection between cells
4 and 6.
NOTE: Be sure to insert the end node termination plug on the load cell at end of the loop as
shown in both examples.

NOTE: If the loop were run in the other direction, the sequence would then be 2-4-3-1 with
load cell 1 having the End Node Terminator installed on it.
