Portable Model Offers Excellent Performance in Zone 1/21 & Division 1 Classified Areas
METTLER TOLEDO is pleased to announce that the intrinsically safe harsh/analog IND560x weighing terminal is now available with an external NiMH battery option. The IND560x-PAB (Power Adapter Board) offers greater portability and flexibility in potentially hazardous production environments while ensuring the excellent accuracy expected from METTLER TOLEDO scales.
Designed for exacting process control in filling, dosing and manual weighing operations, the portable IND560x’s optional internal solid state discrete inputs and passive outputs offer direct control of the intrinsically safe solenoids. The IND560x’s 366 Hz analog to digital conversion rate and 50 Hz target update rate helps deliver maximum filling and dosing control for consistent and safe formulation in high-speed, automatic production applications making it one of the fastest weighing terminals on the market. Once a target amount is dispensed, the terminal triggers process control actions in just 20 milliseconds. The IND560x is capable of running custom filling and dosing applications developed using Mettler Toledo’s Task Expert™ programming tool.
With a harsh enclosure certified for IP69K ingress protection, the IND560x offers reliable operation in even the harshest industrial environments.
The intrinsically safe serial port on the IND560x allows direct communications connection to devices such as approved bar code readers. Fiber optic or copper wire connections to communication modules in the safe area provide nearly limitless configuration possibilities when integrating the IND560x to a higher level PLC, DCS, MES or MRP system. Optional software pacs offer advanced application-specific capabilities for filling, vehicle weighing and custom communications. Finally, TraxEMT™ (Embedded Maintenance Technician) automatically logs critical system information which aids the IND560x’s compliance with stringent process validation requirements.
With all of these critical features accounted for, METTER TOLEDO has also ensured that the IND560x meets a variety of global safety and weights & measures standards—including FM/ATEX/IECEx/NEPSI and NTEP/NMi. All together, this combination of high-end features makes IND560x a robust and reliable terminal for hazardous material weighing solutions.
