ACT350 provides connectivity for communication with PLC systems

April 7, 2020 4:38 pm

The new ACT350 weighing transmitter from METTLER TOLEDO is designed for the needs of machine builders. It provides 600 filtered-weight values per second for measuring fast weighing processes with an accuracy of 3,000e. It is not necessary to have any software filtering in the PLC program to eliminate disturbances. That enables fast and precise filling, sorting and batching processes, increasing throughput and profitability.

Designed for automation

The ACT350 is dedicated for use in automation. Fieldbus connectivity via Ethernet/ IP, PROFINET RT or PROFIBUS is incorporated in a compact device. The ACT350 fully supports the integration by Device Description

Files, making installation easy and transferable to other transmitters. The transferred weight value from the transmitter is ready to be used in the PLC program.

DIN-rail mounting saves space

The small size of the transmitter saves space inside the cabinet. It also facilitates placement of a multitude of transmitters next to each other for controlling several weighing devices in a process.

Fast diagnostics

An integrated display shows weight value. The same display can be used in combination with the small keyboard to get status information without any software tool.

Efficient Configuration

Installation is supported by PC setup software via a RS232 service interface, which allows saving, restoring and cloning settings.

Faster calibration

The most accurate calibration is with real physical test weights. But in real machine- building, sometimes it is impossible to place test weights. In such cases, it is appropriate to use the ACT350’s CalFree™ feature. It uses factory-calibrated load cells and yields good results for tanks, vessels, silos, hoppers and conveyors.
