Process Control

We can automate a process by utilizing a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). The PLC will read a set of digital and analog inputs, apply logic statements, and generate a set of analog and digital output statements in order to complete the automated task. Nicol Scales has experience with many forms of process control systems, including discrete systems, batch systems and continuous systems. Call us to discuss a Process Control System for your company.

The large color display is the main reason why operation of the unit is so simple and intuitive. The keys and controls on the terminal are clearly organized and enable the user to find his or her way around in no time. The display is backlit and features 20 mm- and 35 mm-high digits to show the weight. As a result, information in the readout is clearly visible even at greater distances. This ensures excellent readability, even in dim light. In addition, a bar graph in the display simplifies filling and checkweighing procedures. The large keys with positive click action and acoustic confirmation guide you along an optimized pathway for error-free operation with the Combics Pro.

When it comes to daily applications, our weighing specialists were also consistent with regard to programming. For less experienced users, graphic functional modules are available for programming the Combics Pro. Since neither extensive knowledge of a programming language nor special syntax skills are necessary, programming is simple and foolproof. However, the Combics Pro can also be programmed just as transparently in a higher-level language (IEC61131). Pre-manufactured Sartorius software modules are additional components for a clear structure – with the goal of simplifying work and designing it to be more reliable. For example, the applications counting, checkweighing, totalizing, filling, formulation by hand, and batching are available. Moreover, the Sartorius Combics Pro features a hygienically designed housing without corners or edges in accordance with EHEDG. It’s made of AISI 304 stainless steel, has an IP 67 protection rating, and includes an alphanumeric keypad with a scratch-resistant overlay that keeps its shape. As a result, reliable work is guaranteed with the Sartorius Combics Pro, even in environments with high hygienic standards.

FEATURES

  • High-contrast, backlit color graphics display, with 20mm display for weight readouts with status indicators, bargraph
  • Alphanumeric keypad with “ABC” input
  • 5 Softkeys
  • Large keys with positive click action and acoustic confirmation
  • Data Interface RS232, Ethernet and PS/2 as standard
  • up to 62 Platforms/Scales connectable via xBPI-Protocol
  • with optional application programs (e. g. counting, batching, manual recipe, filling, truck scale applications)
  • programmable
