An economical way to convert a scale terminal's serial output to a 4-20mA process signal. The A100 analog output module provides an economical way to convert a scale terminal's serial output to a 4-20mA process signal. This signal is then typically communicated to a remote analog input on a PLC or other process control equipment.

Typical applications include bulk hopper or tank inventory monitoring, and simple process measurement or control applications. The module is available in a compact, fast installation DIN rail mount version, as well as a harsh environment stainless steel enclosure version, and a hazardous area version. High and Low discrete setpoint outputs are included, along with simple push button calibration.

The DNB00001000 allows sharing weight data from a METTLER TOLEDO scale terminal using the continuous mode output to a DeviceNet network.

The METTLER TOLEDO DNB00001000 module (DeviceNet Bridge) is an ideal tool for adding DeviceNet connectivity to scale terminals, which only have RS-232 communication capability. It serves as a bridging device that allows weight data to be shared from a METTLER TOLEDO scale terminal and the DeviceNet network.

The DNB00001000 module requires no programming or application or protocol specific firmware. It comes pre-configured to receive continuous data packets from the scale terminal serial port and converts the data into DeviceNet data packets buffered until they are requested by the DeviceNetmaster. (A DeviceNet master node can send and receive data using standard POLL messaging.) The DNB00001000 module is factory-programmed by METTLER TOLEDO. If something happens to the serial data, the DNB00001000 will report a communication fault to the DeviceNet master.
