The fieldbus protocols of the BLH-Nobel Weighing Systems G4 family of multichannel weight/force indicators have been expanded to include EtherNet/IP.
G4 instruments offer high speed and performance for industrial applications including process weighing and control, force measurement, Web tension measurement and control, force vector calculations, high dynamic force measurement and high-speed batching/blending systems. The units are certified to link to communication interfaces including Profibus, DeviceNet, Modbus/RTU, USB, RS485, RS232, Modbus/TCP, and now, EtherNet/IP. The G4 family is offered with four base mounting options: DIN rail (RM), panel (PM), desktop (DT), and harsh environment (HE). The IP65-rated G4-PM, DT, and HE are equipped with a 5.7-inch color touch screen and graphic display.
