Ethernet/Dual Serial Ports Option; Ethernet/Usb/Serial Option; Plc Interfaces; Analog Output - Mettler Toledo IND560 PDX Guia De Instalacion

A total of 12 inputs and 18 outputs are supported through a maximum of three
•
options.

Ethernet/Dual Serial Ports Option

The Ethernet port can be used for FTP transfer of tare and target tables and
complete setup files. It also provides a TCP/IP port to transmit a demand template,
continuous data, for remote configuration using the METTLER TOLEDO InSite
program, for direct access to data via a shared data server, and to send email
alerts when calibration expires or fails.
COM2 provides RS-232 communication at rates from 300 to 115.2k baud.
COM 3 supports the same baud rates and provides an RS-232, RS-422, or RS-
485 connection.

Ethernet/USB/Serial Option

The Ethernet port can be used for FTP transfer of tare and target tables and
complete setup files. It also provides a TCP/IP port to transmit a demand template,
continuous data, for remote configuration using the METTLER TOLEDO InSite
program, for direct access to data via a shared data server, and to send email
alerts when calibration expires or fails.
COM 3 supports an RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 connection at communication
rates from 300 to 115.2k baud.
The USB port provides a USB host that supports an external QWERTY keyboard.
Keyboard languages supported are English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. The new USB option can also be used for upgrading terminal firmware and
performing a save/restore.

PLC Interfaces

The IND560 PDX PLC interface options include Analog Output, A-B RIO, DeviceNet,
PROFIBUS DP, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP. These are the same options that are
utilized with the standard IND560 and the ACM500 (which is part of the IND560x
solution). Additional details about each of these interfaces can be found in the
IND560 PLC Interface Manual, provided on the documentation CD.

Analog Output

Analog Output refers to the representation of an internal system variable using a
proportional electrical signal. Analog Output can be used to transmit a measured
value, such as the gross or net weight. Another use for Analog Output is as a
control signal for some external device, such as a control valve, where the amount
of valve opening is proportional to the analog signal commanding its operation.
Such outputs are used to control the flow rate of material into or out of a vessel.
Both 0-10 volt DC and 4-20 mA signals are provided.
