LAUMAS' LCB load cell universal digitizer that transforms any analog load cell into a digital load cell has evolved.
LAUMAS has improved the performance of the classic LCB model, made of AISI 304 stainless steel, and diversified its offering with two new versions.
Both of the new models keep the main features of the classic LCB, among which the IP67 protection rating and the availability, on the instrument, of two firmware versions: BASE program for setting the setpoint values and batching program for single product LOADING.
Plastic version:
With a PA66 nylon container reinforced with fiberglass.The plastic model has financial advantages.
Hygienic version:
With a AISI 304 stainless steel container certified 3-A Sanitary Standard.
LCB3A is sanitizable, and is ideal for applications in sectors where hygiene is an important or necessary requirement.
In what way has LCB improved?
Our R&D department has developed tangible improvements.
- Faster: the weight calculation frequency reaches up to 500 values a second and also the update frequency of the data on the fieldbus can reach the maximum speed of 500 updates a second, when using the PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT buses.
- Convenience: they're simple to configure and manage and are compatible with Instrument Manager, the free software for managing LAUMAS electronic instrumentation from a PC.
- Easy communication with PLC: the choice among the already many fieldbuses is expanded with the CC-LINK IE Field Basic, based on Ethernet technology.
Versatile: the classic assembly integral with the body of the load cell, wall mounting of the classic LCB and the plastic version is now possible, using the mounting supports with fixing holes.
In this way the digitizer can also be used as a normal weight transmitter that, coupled with a junction box, can manage up to 4 load cells connected in parallel.
