The WTQ is a digital weighing transmitter with a 24-bit A/D converter. This converts the output signals of the connected load cells into a stable weight value. This versatile and extremely reliable weight transmitter for connecting 4 load cells directly (16 load cells in parallel).
The transmitter has both analog and digital outputs, which provide stable measurement information. Communication takes place via an RS-485 interface. Programmable relay outputs and two digital logic inputs are also included as standard. The optional analog output provides an analog signal proportional to the weight, which can be processed by a PLC or a PC.
The WTQ Ethernet2 has two equivalent RJ 45 ports that are connected as a mini switch. This means that several devices can be connected in a network in a space-saving manner without an external switch. A patch cable is sufficient between the devices.
Fieldbus measuring transducer
This weighing transmitter enables the monitoring of various production processes using the industry standards of bus technology and is a cost-effective alternative to comparable electronics from PLC manufacturers.
The variety of available fieldbus interfaces enables easy and safe integration of weighing systems into any automation system. As an option, the industrial measuring amplifier with PLC interfaces and fieldbuses is available: Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET IO, Ethernet IP, Ethernet TCP/IP, EtherCAT, DeviceNet, CANopen, POWERLINK, CC-Link, IO Link, Sercos III.
