Product outline
FC400-232 is a weighing indicator equipped as standard with RS-232C interface. It is ideal for a variety of weighing applications like hopper scales, bagging machines, and level meters.
High sampling rate & resolution
High-speed A/D conversion and powerful digital processing capability of 1200 times/sec.
High display resolution of 1/100000 (max).
Application software for USB interface
With communication through USB interface, logging, graph, display, setting parameters, and calibration can be done.
High performance filter & Auto filter adjustment
With combination of the low pass filter (0.1 to 300 Hz) which corresponds to various vibration and the moving average filter (OFF, 2 to 512) that is effective for periodic vibration, the automatic searching for optimal value with accuracy and stability can be achieved. (You can manually adjust the settings too).
Compact size
It can be fit into a limited space!
Lightweight & compact body for 35 mm DIN rail mount
Dimensions: 34(W) × 88(H) × 91(D) mm (Not including projections)
Weight: Approx. 220 g
Various interfaces
Equipped with RS-232C, SI/F, USB interface
Various functions useful for automated weighing systems
■ Basic weighing process control function
Equipped with weighing sequence function to control feeding/discharge gate.
■ Input conversion value display
The output signal level of the connected load cell can be displayed in mV/V for monitor purpose.
Malfunction indicator or faulty sensor can be differentiated easily.
■ 6-digit display
24 bit A/D converter enables 6-digit display
■ Equivalent input calibration
Theoretical calibration can be performed easily by registering the capacity and rated output of load cells.
■ Multipoint calibration (linearization)
Three additional points can be defined in the middle between zero and span for better linearity.Eventhough the scale has poor linearity, it can be corrected to be a highly accurate scale.
