This device’s status monitoring reduces downtime
Mettler Toledo
The IND570 industrial terminal (photo) is constructed and approved for harsh industrial environments and offers flexible control options for simple to complex weighing applications. In manually controlled weighing applications, the high-visibility graphic display shows realtime weighing status and can be programmed with language routines to “walk” users through the operations to improve efficiency and avoid errors. For automated systems, the IND570 can function as a standalone process controller. Its digital I/O options and easily programmable software provide accurate, repeatable results, says the company. It offers selectable interfaces and programs that allow users to customize features to match application requirements. Realtime communications are provided via serial, Ethernet and PLC interfaces, which can be tailored for the application. An added feature of the IND570 is that it provides performance monitoring to ensure that the weighing system is running properly. It also provides proactive alerting to help reduce downtime. — Mettler Toledo, Columbus, Ohio
