HBM releases interface for measuring truck-loads

HBM's DIS2116 digital interface allows truck-loads to be checked easily and accurately.
Designed to integrate with HBM's C16 digital load cells, the DIS2116 interface provides encrypted data transfer for added security in legal-for-trade applications and gives a complete check-in and check-out scale for trucks.
The largest device that can be supported is a triple platform with eight C16 load cells for each platform; digital C16 load cells are available for loads from 20 to 60t.
Because no maintenance is needed for the digital equipment, the interface is suited for use in countries with low population densities and with towns separated by large distances; for example Russia, Brazil, China and Australia.
The DIS2116 can forecast likely maintenance on the mechanical parts of truck scales some weeks in advance through internal scale checks.
The device is easy to install as only a few software commands are needed to integrate the DIS2116 into a host system.
All legal-for-trade information, such as dates, is held internally.
The DIS2116 features electronic off-centre load compensation.
This means that for initial calibration to remove mechanical corner errors, only a single mass on each corner of the truck scales is needed.
The DIS2116, the first to comply with the new European WELMEC 7.2 rules, provides data storage and has a number of interfaces to suit all applications.
These include three RS232 ports, an RS485 port for connecting power and load cells and an optional Anybus port for connection to Ethernet, Profibus or other bus systems.
An SD memory card can be used for the storage of all settings such as calibration parameters and alibi memory.
This makes it easy to transfer scale parameters to a new unit by simply exchanging the SD card.
