    EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Features INTRODUCTION Features Basic Units & Resolution The units for each variable type (weight etc.) can be selected from a list of metric and imperial units. The resolution of each variable type can be adjusted, this alters the count by e.g 100kg displayed in 0.2kg increments.
  • Page 6: Outputs

    Communications & Display Comms RS232 and RS485 ports are available. These are used to connect ModWeigh units together and also to connect to other systems. The protocol is either ASCII output for example to drive a printer or Modbus for interactive communications. Baud rates and node addresses are programmable.

    Connection Principles ModWeigh instruments can be configured in many different ways to suit any given application. The display is normally located to suit an operator. The transmitter can be located in the field to reduce field wiring or can be located with the display for a more conventional approach.

This value is the total weight of the mechanical components applied to the loadcell but excluding any material weight. Press and hold the BACK key to return to normal operation. If the deadload is unknown (as is usually the case), a loadcell zero should be performed.

    EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Internal Signals Re-zero the weight (use ‘AI1 zero’ QK22321 or ‘zero calibration’ QK26521). Current/Voltage input When AI2 is available, a remote setpoint signal can be connected as either a current (eg 4 to 20mA) or as a voltage (eg 0 to 10V). The transmitter auto-detects whether the current or voltage input is active and uses the relevant calibration from the following settings.
