Industrial Data Systems, DT220A/O, Programmable Data Terminal, Isolated Analog Output Module
Features:
- Data Collection - Collects data from A/D signals, serial communication ports, TTL inputs, and the alpha/numeric keyboard.
- Ez-Link software to facilitate uploading & downloading data tables from or to your data base files or spead sheet.
- Analog to Digital conversion (optional) - Converts the analog signal from a strain gauge "load cell" [or other transducer] to a numeric weight.
- Additional Functions - Trip level event monitor, programmable "Scale Basic" functions, TTL level 'set point' inputs and outputs, and remote control via TTL inputs or serial input. Interface directly to a scale, weight indicator or a network of multiple scale indicators, balances, ticket, tape, bar code label printers, scanners, remote displays, solid-state/dry contact relays, computers, programmable logic controllers (PLC).
Applications:
The DT-220 allows you to perform a number of applications. These range from weigh-in weigh-out vehicle/trailer/container ID gross, tare, net weighing operations to more complex tasks such as multi-container/axle auto weighing, check-weighing, force measurement, auto-sorting, controlling multi-Ingredient formula batching systems, bulk-weighing, vessel/hopper/silo loss in weight, bagging packers, various other sophisticated trip level event monitoring and process control tasks.The IDS DT Series terminals are being used for many important applications in transportation, agriculture, mining, construction, material handling, packaging and manufacturing. Applications are unlimited for the user who is capable of writing a basic program. For those who prefer turnkey products, Industrial Data Systems offers a constantly growing number of standard applications or we can program the DT-220 around your specific application. Consult factory for custom programming quote.
The DT-220 is fully programmable in an easy and flexible macro language called Scale Basic. In addition to the built-in modes of operation, Scale Basic allows you to customize the operation of the DT-220 to meet your application requirements. The Scale Basic language provides various commands and functions that include: Math operations, I/O control, set points, timers, data entry, ID storage, message display, and program sequence control among others. Programming the DT-220 can be performed through the keyboard or a PC using the optional EZ-LINK software that greatly facilitates setup and programming.
The DT-220 incorporates a 8 line x 40 char LCD display with Back Lighting to facilitate operator prompting, messaging. A 63-key sealed membrane keypad with audible and tactile feedback design for data entry and is immune to dust and liquid spills.Programmable in Scale Basic macro language for application development (event driven). Provides built-in interfaces to input a wide variety of indicators data streams and Simulates A&D, Condec, Weigh-Tronix and Ohaus communication output data stream protocols. Provides user configurable serial output protocols. Password protection to prevent unauthorized access to data or tampering.Built in comprehensive diagnostic functions for analog/scale, memory, display and I/O ports. Hot-keys for configuration and diagnostics menus. Primary and secondary units with conversion factor.
