Weighing instruments extend comms capabilities

The instruments support a wide range of industrial applications, including process weighing and control, force measurement, factory automation, high dynamic force measurement, and high-speed batching/blending systems.

Through a built-in Web server, the G5 instruments speed up setup and simplify parameter changes, enabling remote operation from any PC or mobile device with a Web browser and Ethernet connection.

Weight and status are instantly displayed alongside other parameters and diagnostics information via user-friendly operator interface.

Within the G5 family, there are two different mounting options: a panel-mount version for 24V DC or 115/230V AC operation and a rail-mount version for 24V DC operation only.

The panel-mount version comes equipped with a 4.3in high-resolution colour screen that increases visibility and enables easy navigation through parameter settings and menus.

For operators who do not require a screen, the rail-mount instrument offers a powerful yet cost-effective alternative.

Many industrial communication interfaces are supported, including Modbus/TCP, Ethernet/IP, FTP, HTTP, Profibus, DeviceNet, ControlNet, and Modbus RTU, as well as the traditional RS485 and analog outputs.

Users can configure the G5 digital I/O signals according to their discrete control requirements.

Software upgrades can quickly be made in the field using an SD card. Custom software designed to customer requirements for special applications is available upon request.

Parameter backup and restoration is made easy via the G5's USB port, SD card, and internal memory.
