Local | Remote Monitoring

There are many options and methods available for you to monitor your belt scale information. The location of your scale(s) and integrator display(s) will be a determining factor in which method you decide to implement to visually monitor your scale data locally on site. Another factor in determining the hardware, is whether the connection between the scale and the final monitoring display is wired or wireless. The information below is meant to provide a general overview of the viewing options available.

The standard scale comes with an integrator which can be mounted within 30 feet of the scale's idler rollers and speed sensor. If you mount the integrator within this distance, no other options are required but you may wish to look at the Optional Outdoor Enclosure to provide added protection for the integrator and an easy connection for the electrician to an integral 110 VAC disconnect switch mounted in the enclosure

Basic plus Opt. Smart Junction Box - Hardwired

By using a Smart Junction Box, you can wire all of the scale components (including an optional automatic angle compensator) to the j-box located within 30 feet of the scale and run a 6 conductor shielded cable from the j-box to the integrator in a remote location. In some cases, running a cable between the scale and the control room is not feasible, making the wireless communication the better choice.

If Wireless Communication is the better option, a transmitter and receiver is required. With multiple scales in the plant, a wireless access point can be used to receive data from multiple scales and then send that data to the optional remote device. In some cases, wireless repeaters may be required. The remote devices can either be a 4" or 7" touch screen tablet, an HDTV or a Plant-Connect modem for online monitoring.

4" or 7" Touch Screen Tablets

4" or 7" touch screen tablets provide the ability to monitor multiple scales from a single location.
