Controllers and Terminals
Control, Display and Process Weighing in One Interface
Controllers and terminals are the central operating interface of an industrial weighing system, providing accurate weight display, process control, and communication with connected equipment. They receive signals from load cells, process weighing data, and allow operators to monitor and manage weighing operations with confidence.
Suitable for both simple weighing applications and automated industrial processes, controllers and terminals support truck scales, platform scales, tank and hopper weighing systems, batching operations, and production lines by improving weighing accuracy, operational efficiency, and data management.
Selecting the Right Controller or Terminal
Different industrial applications require different levels of control and functionality. Choosing the appropriate controller or terminal depends on the weighing process, communication requirements, and system integration needs.
| Application Requirement | Recommended Solution |
|---|---|
| Basic weight display | Digital weighing indicator |
| Operator-controlled weighing | Weighing terminal with keypad or touchscreen |
| Batching and filling processes | Programmable weighing controller |
| PLC or SCADA integration | Controller with industrial communication options |
| Harsh industrial environments | Panel-mounted or IP-rated controller options |
