Quick solution to using EtherNet/IP for weighing instruments

Opening the Gateway to Streamlined EtherNet/IP Networks for In-line Weighing Systems With the AD-8552EIP, you can easily establish data communication between a PLC and weighing instruments on a production line using EtherNet/IP. Notably, when an AD-4212C/AD-4212D weigh module is connected, the PLC can perform operations such as changing response speed and adjusting sensitivity, in addition to reading weighing values and resetting the display to zero. Scalability with multiple connectors Having four D-Sub 9-pin connectors, one AD-8552EIP can communicate with up to four weighing instruments via...

Hooks on the back for DIN-rail mounting The AD-8552EIP is designed to allow one-touch installation and fastening to DIN rails. Installation image Status/error indications by four LED lamps The status of connections and operations, and whether there are any abnormalities can be checked and addressed at a glance. Web interface for operational checks By connecting the AD-8552EIP to a PC, you can set an arbitrary IP address, operate connected weighing instrument(s), and display their weighing values and data layouts on a web browser. This is especially convenient for checking operations when starting...
