W-Bus

Versatile microprocessor weight transmitter can be used as simple weight transmitter, weight viewer with large display and keyboard or as a real weighing system, according to Customer requirements and the installed options.


Designed and developed for interfacing with a PLC or PC environment, it is directly supplied with the service 24Vdc thanks to its internal optically-isolated supply voltage.

W-Bus consists of the main Mother Board, optional Bus board used to install optional boards, 4 types of optional boards and optional Remote Terminal with display and keyboard.

Currently, 4 optional boards are available: BCD Output Card, Analogue Output 4 ÷ 20mA Card, RS232C Card and RS485 Card. The optional boards are selected according to the weight to be transmitted to the PLC/PC. 

 
Functions
 
  • Simple installation on rail Omega/DIN.
  • Configuration Parameter and Calibration Settings via W-Bus SetUp software (supplied), equipped with simple and intuitive interface.
  • Storage of all the values programmed in the internal EEProm memory.
