Weighing gauge      

The weighing gauge allow to weigh objects (object image) :

This object only can placed on :

• the tables of transfert ;

• the supports ;

• the tanks.

Note :

You can place several weighing gauges. The weigth shown by every gauge is function of the gauges number.

By exemple, for one object of 100 Kg, if you place 2 weighing gauges, that shown 50 Kg on every one.

In the exemple above, the measured values (Iw1 and Iw2) are transferred to memory words (Mw1 and Mw2). ( operation on words)        

The configuration of one weighing gauge

As the configuration page shows, these input objects always behave in the following manner :

  From measurement to the electrical value and to the automaton acquisition

The user must set the values :

• the physical limits of the measurement or of the set point value (e.g. from 5 cm to 300 cm , from 0 % to 100 % for a set point value) ;

• the standard type of acquisition card (from 0V to 10 V, From -10V to +10 V, from 4mA to 20mA) ;

• the behaviour of the sensor: linear or non linear ;

• the limits of the acquisition card of the automaton (limits of the word processed by the automaton) ;

• the fields of mnemonic and of description are not absolutely required.

An info-bubble shown in the RUN mode gives the following information separated by a comma :

1. physical quantity ;

2. electrical value ;

3. automaton data value.

Example : placement of a weighing gauge on a table of transfert or on a support.

Note : the same procedure to place one or several weighing gauges on a tank.
