BM WEIGHT REPEATER

Weight Repeater

The Weight Repeater is a second remote display that allows the weight indicated by a scale to be viewed in real time and from a distance. It receives data directly from the scale and reproduces the information on its display, without any need to replace or modify the existing equipment.

It is the ideal solution for situations where the scale’s indicator is not easily visible, allowing the weight information to be brought to the location where it is needed. It can, for example, be used at loading docks, silos, truck weighbridges, or at different points along a production line.

Main advantages

* Greater visibility

Provides the weight reading at a second point, even at a distance.

* More flexibility

Adapts to different configurations and installation requirements.

* Easy integration

Works with scales from different brands, provided they use a supported protocol.

* Simple installation

Features automatic detection of the protocol and communication speed, making initial setup easier.

* Greater safety and efficiency

Keeps the operator away from areas where direct reading of the indicator may be less practical or safe.

* Additional features

Can also use switches and a relay for signalling or triggering external equipment, such as traffic lights.

Features

* Weight display with 7 digits, 100 mm high (4’’)

* Display with high-brightness LEDs, 120º, 2000 mcd, for direct reading in sunlight

* Direct connections to the scale via RS232, RS485 and Ethernet

* Wireless connection to the scale (Wi-Fi - Port 5000)

* 1 configurable relay output load presence, stable reading, external traffic light or manual control

* 2 dry-contact inputs configurable in latched or momentary mode, to control the relay or trigger messages on the display

* Message sending to the display

* Desktop application (Windows/Linux/MAC OS) for remotely configuring the Repeater via USB/serial cable, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth

* LED brightness set manually to a fixed value or automatically adjusted according to ambient lighting

* Rinstrum A standard, CAS CI-200A binary, Digi SM-100

Fixed-length STX/ETX binary, auto-detected.

* Custom Frame

Configurable mode for any scale with an ASCII output not recognised by the modes above.

Active mode

* Modbus RTU master

The repeater polls the scale via FC03 polling.

* Mettler Toledo MT-SICS

The repeater sends SI\r\n every 500 ms and waits for a response (polling).

* Auto mode (factory setting)

The repeater automatically detects the protocol from the received frame, with no configuration required.
