Profibus transmitter for weighing applications
May 2004
Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
This PR 5210 series of digital process transmitters combine reliable and accurate weight acquisition offering easy operation and set-up. This can be confirmed by Ronald Laubscher at Master Foods in Rosslyn, Pretoria, where an additional six transmitters have just been installed by local agents Carl Zeiss.
Master Foods was pleased with the performance of the transmitters already installed, which led to the recent purchase of the new range. It has been some years since Philip's Electronic Weighing provided industrial weighing technology in South Africa and most customers are unaware that these products are still available in this country.
A broad range of strain gauge load cells can be connected to these digital process transmitters and output is provided in the common ProfiBus-DP format. Users have direct access to all configuration and operation levels via the front serial interface using a Palm 105 PDA. A windows engineering tool allows convenient configuration from a Windows PC or laptop.
The transmitter is specifically designed for use in typical control cabinets. Multiple instruments can be easily lined up in the control cabinet and the full galvanical isolation of all input and output circuits from supply makes the instrument especially easy and safe to integrate. A set of typical built-in weighing functions support adaptation to individual process requirements without programming.
Some history
Philip's Electronic Weighing in Eindhoven, Netherlands, was responsible for manufacturing the weighing products sold locally until a change of company ownership took place in 1998 - and Global Weighing Technology was born. In 1999 Sartorius bought this company and Carl Zeiss has now been appointed as the official distributor for GWT SA.
