Eilersen EtherCAT Weighing Module
Eilersen Electric A/S has expanded the range of weighing modules with a new EtherCAT interface module.
EtherCAT is one of the most widely used EtherNet based communication standards and there are several advantages in using this digital interface module in combination with Eilersen digital load cells, since the entire measurement chain is kept digital.
Advantages include an easy plug-and-play installation with up to 4 digital load cells, advanced digital filters as well as a “Digital Junction Box” that can be mounted near the load cells or in a central panel.
The digital measuring chain allows the EtherCAT weighing module to transmit the weight and status of each individual load cell in a weighing system via the EtherCAT communication, which results in higher resolution of the weighing signal, better transparency and easier service. Existing digital weighing systems from Eilersen can easily be upgraded to EtherCAT communication by replacing the current weighing module. Eilersen also offers customized application software made by request.
The new EtherCAT module is ATEX (Ex) and IECEx certified for use in hazardous applications just like the rest of Eilersen range of weighing modules.
