Enable Smart Weighing with IO-Link

The new IO-Link load cell provides an open standard serial communication protocol that is smart in nature and network-independent, making it the most suitable choice for dosing, filling, packaging by weight or check weighing.

In the era of smart manufacturing, increased connectivity and automation have led to radical improvements in production speed and quality. While these benefits are indisputable, efficiency is often hampered by a lack of standardization in the automation components that make up the machine or system.

For the Machine Builder or Control System Integrator—Smart is Simple

The single point load cell with IO-Link interface (SLP33xD-IOL),  is super easy to integrate while providing superior weighing speed and performance. Available in three sizes and several capacities, SLP33xD-IOL offers smart features such as sophisticated condition monitoring and alarms with the added benefit of global metrology and hazardous approvals. 

 

Five key advantages of the new SLP33xD-IOL:

Standardized, Compact and Accurate

  • Integrated electronics save cabinet space

  • Standard cables and standard M12 connectors offer quick and simple installation

  • No cable wrapping or coiling

  • IO-Link standardized sensor interface can be used freely, independent  of the network (e.g. Ethernet- or Fieldbus-based)

Easy device replacement

  • Precise localization of the load cell within the machine and plant

  • Plug-and-play integration

  • Easy reliable sensor exchange

  • Automatic configuration cloning by IO-Link Master prevents incorrect settings

  • Minimized downtime 

  • Ideal for applications that experience frequent changeovers in the production line

Condition Monitoring/Diagnostics

  • Monitor events on the plant floor or remotely with Smart5™ alarm 

  • Detection and rectification of critical sensor states minimize the risk of machine failure
