The module is used to weigh pieces. The sensor included in this equipment enables to carry out measurements on objects of variable weight (from 0.1 to 1 kg) generating an analog output signal ranging between 0 and 10 V. The complete control of the module is carried out by a PLC (optional) linked to the system through an I/O interface box. The PLC programming software allows the development of a wide set of automation experiences with the module, working in an integrated cycle or in a stand alone mode. Finally, the module supervision is carried out with the software.
TRAINING PROGRAM:
The training program that can be developed with the module includes:
• Principles of electronics
• Operation of weight sensors
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
Modular unit assembled on a aluminium section bar structure. It includes I/O interface box with:
• Ø = 2 mm terminals
• Cable with 25-pole D-SUB plug connector
Besides performing the function of control board for the module, this interface box also enables the students to carry out electrical measurements on the components of the module. The control of the module is possible through the follow PLC training panels (not supplied):
• PLC training panels: manages the module through Ø = 2 mm terminals. In case one of these two panels is used, a 24 Vdc power supply is already mounted on board.
Sensors and actuators:
• Weight sensor
Station inputs and outputs:
• 1 Analog output
