GMT-P1 User’s Manual 1 General Description GMT-P1 digital indicator is specially designed for weight transmitting in industrial fields. Support Profinet,Ethernet IP, EtherCAT,CCLINK IE.The digital indicator is a small weight display which is specially designed and produced for the occasion of weight transmit industrial.
GMT-P1 User’s Manual 1.2 Front Panel Main Display: 6 digits, for displaying weight and the information of parameters. Status Indicator Lamp: ➢ ZERO: Light on when present weight is within 0±1/4d. ➢ STAB: Light on when changes of weight values are within the range of motion detecting during motion detecting time.

2.2 Connection of Load Cell GMT-P1 digital indicator connects bridge type resistance strain gauge load cells by 6 wires or 4 wires as follows. When you use 4-wired load cells, you must bridge the SN+ with EX+ and bridge the SN- with EX-.
GMT-P1 User’s Manual 2.2.1 6 wires connection Note: 1. As load cell output sensitive analog signal, please use shield cable to separate with other cables, especially AC power. 2. 4 wires connection is suitable for short distance and stable temperature or low precision field, otherwise use 6 wires connection.
GMT-P1 User’s Manual 2.3 I/O terminals The IO of GMT-P1 weight display can be customized by the user (see Chapter 5 for details) to facilitate user wiring and some special applications. The driving current of each channel is 200mA. When the product leaves the factory, the default definition is as follows.
GMT-P1 User’s Manual 2.4 BUS Port connection GMT-P1 supports Profinet, Ethernet IP, EtherCAT, CCLINK IE Base bus protocol communication (the above three are optional functions, order need to declare). Note: When EtherCAT communication, Port1 is used as the entrance. When connecting with multiple devices, the devices should be connected serially to distinguish the entrance and exit order.
