Mettler Toledo has introduced a new weighing terminal for solving both basic and semi-complex filling and dosing applications in the process automation environment. The IND560fill offers OEM (original equipment manufacturers) and system integrator users the ability to deploy high performance solutions with minimal investment.
The IND560 is designed specifically for users subject to regulatory controls in the pharmaceutical, chemical, food and beverages industries. It complies with multiple global regulations including UL, CE, NTEP and OIML.
The versatile IND560 offers direct programmable logic control (PLC) and distributed control system (DCS) connectivity making it compatible with many different analogue platforms. The extremely high A/D conversion and update rate is combined with proven TraxDSP digital filtering ensuring fast update of weight results when needed in various automation processes. With the update rate of more 300 Hz, IND560 keeps pace with process speed, making it ideal for mixing, agitating or dynamic processes
The pre-installed InSite application software allows easy configuration for either filling, dosing or blending; or to simply copy configurations from one terminal to another. The CalFREE feature offers an alternative calibration method for installations that do not require an approval by a metrological agency. This method is particularly useful for large tanks or silos where it is not practical to use test weights to calibrate the scale.
The embedded maintenance technician, TRaxEMT, automatically logs zero commands and failures, overloads, load cell outputs, calibration values and checking, diagnostic tests and statistics for ISO compliance. This helps to predict failures, plan maintenance and track operating procedures.
To tolerate environmental hazards, the ingress protection rating is assured via IP65 (on the panel mount unit) and IP69K (on the harsh environment unit). The IND560 is easy to install and communicates with most SCADA and PLC systems.
