Weigh Quickly

The IND560x excels in controlling filling and dosing applications. It delivers best in class performance with a target update rate of 50Hz. This means once a set target is reached you can trigger a process control in only 20ms. Choose between an analog or digital scale interface, to deliver precise, repeatable measurements from milligrams to tons, in manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic operations (pages 4 & 5). The IND560x is also ideally suited for manual weighing applications. The SmartTrac™ graphic back lighted LCD display provides operators with unmistakable weighing transaction information, helping to reduce errors and eliminate waste. The IND560x also supports up to 20 programmable, on screen prompts to assist an operator through complex operations.

Control Directly

Are you looking to control devices directly in hazardous area without the need to use expensive barriers or purges?…Look no further!

As well as the traditional passive/ passive I/O control the IND560x now offers you internal active/active solid state I/O’s. This has an advantage over traditional passive/passive systems by reducing the wiring, simplifying the installation and reducing the capital investment needed.

Connect Universally

Connect the IND560x with the ACM500 and open a world of communication possibilities. From the safe area the ACM500 provides an ultra fast communication rate of up to 115 kbaud allowing high volume data transfer.

This means integration with higher level automation equipment such as PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) or DCS (Distributed Control Systems) can be easily achieved. The ACM500 provides the ability for bi-directional communication between the weighing terminal and the higher level automation system, allowing for use in a variety of enhanced production applications.

The ACM500 and IND560x communicate using either a copper wire-carried current loop (CL) or a fiber optic connection. The ACM500 allows the IND560x to be connected to multiple devices using simultaneously 3 different protocols: PLC, Ethernet TCP/IP and serial.

Built-in Software Solutions

TraxDSP®

TraxDSP® is a combination of hardware and software that utilizes advanced multi-stage filters to supress background electrical noise created by mechanical vibration or electrical sources.

This system constantly and rapidly tracks and produces filtered weight data that represents the true weight portion of the load cell signal. Filtering is performed digitally, which permits on-site adjustments to suit each customer's unique weighing requirements.

TraxEMT™

The Embedded Maintenance Technician (EMT) monitors and analyzes your system performance, enabling action before a failure occurs.

TraxEMT™ monitors the condition of the weighing system and in specific circumstances can alert designated individuals of potential failures or maintenance requirements via email or via the operator interface.

CalFREE™

Calibration using test weights can be difficult or even impossible for large tank or hopper scales used in process weighing applications. Use the exclusive CalFREE™ technology to get up and running without using test weights. Alternatively, use the standard calibration with 5-point linearization or step calibration routines for the highest accuracy.

MinWeigh

MinWeigh functionality helps ensure the weighing of your critical ingredients are always within acceptable limits by displaying a warning when the weight is below the minimum weight threshold.

Filling and Blending Applications

The IND560x excels as a single material filling or dosing controller with features such as target memory tables and latching discrete inputs and outputs for secure control of material delivery equipment.

Save programming costs

With the optional filling application, the IND560x becomes capable of handling combinations of complex, multi-material filling and dosing sequences. The IND560fill solution features many customizable filling and dosing sequences that can be combined and easily configured to suit specific application require- ments.

The IND560fill manages both single and multiple material applications, blending up to four different materials. The entire contents can be dispensed or dosed in a precise, controlled manner during the weighout cycle.

Operators can be freed-up for additional tasks when running sequences in Automatic Mode, or their skills can be focused on critical points in the process when utilizing the Semi-Automatic Mode.

Information at your fingertips

99 individual material targets, acceptable tolerances and descriptions can be stored in the Target Table of the IND560x. Softkeys provide quick access to the Target Table, making it simple to search for and select the correct target every time. Multi-material formulas are easily populated with targets recalled from the Target Table.

Learn Mode improves process quality

The Learn Mode and Automatic Spill Adjustment capabilities provide a means of continuously refining the accuracy of the weighing process.

Truck and Rail Weighing

Uncompromised accuracy

Safely and accurately weigh with a 100% approved solution. Approvals for the terminal, junction boxes and analog load 5cells are available.

Since there is no need to place the terminal in a safe area, the IND560x provides "at the scale" weight indication and improves driver convenience.

Features & benefits

• Alibi Memory saves all weighing transactions
• Multiple connectivity options aid communication of important shipping and receiving information into external databases
• Up to 20 programmable operator prompts to help with traffic throughput
• The IND560drive software available for simple In/Out vehicle applications

Specialized Applications and Custom Programming

If your application requires programming beyond the standard software packages, TaskExpert® may be the perfect solution.

While several specialized software packages exist for the IND560x, TaskExpert® – a custom program development tool – gives end users and licensed programmers the opportunity to work together to create applications for the IND560x weighing terminal that satisfy the unique and specific needs of an end user’s application. Using TaskExpert®, the programmer can:

• Create a special user interface including graphics, softkeys, labels, text and selection boxes
• Interact with system variables & functions of the IND560x
• Implement I/O control through the terminal’s ladder logic engine

Connect to the right scale

Whether the application requires a digital or analog scale the IND560x can connect to one scale directly in the zone.

• High precision digital scales ranging from 3kg to 3000kg capacity.
• Robust and accurate analog scales ranging from 3kg to 3 000kg capacity.
• Rugged weigh modules for weighing 5kg to 300 tons.

Power options increase flexibility

Choose between AC power using the intrinsically safe APS768x power supply, and the external the NiMH battery pack, both of which can be located within the hazardous area.
