Transmitter junction box allows for remote scale monitoring
The Transcell LCT-2 digital weight transmitter allows users to monitor up to four individual load cells and transmit filtered weight data to a PLC or other compatible device, via EtherNet/IP or Modbus protocol. The ability to monitor four load cells using a single transmitter helps to save money (compared to the use of individual, dedicated transmitters). The sampling rate is adjustable from 4.7 Hz, with a 24-bit resolution. This transmitter is designed for in-plant use, such as realtime scale-system diagnostics. The LCT-2 can be used in virtually any plant environment, and is well-suited to powder and bulk-solids applications. It supports up to 20 industrial network protocols — Transcell Technology, Buffalo Grove, Ill.
