Weighing data provides easy access to process automation
PENKO Engineering recently completed the SGM800 Digitizer range. The SGM800 Digitizer is a range of compact modules mounted on a DIN rail and that seamlessly connect load cells and strain gauges using industrial process control. Connecting weighing instruments directly to automation, is one of the action points of Industry 4.0 and Smart Industry. Also weighing data are important components of Big Data. For this, it is necessary that all the weighing data collected in the field, also becomes available at a higher IT level. To achieve this with as many companies as possible, PENKO Engineering now offers the SGM800 Digitizer: a range of certified communications modules for different protocols which can be used simultaneously for decentralized control.
Protocols
What PENKO first has tackled, are various protocols for industrial networks. PENKO solves this with six different versions of the SGM Digitizer, As a standard all six versions communicate via USB and RS485. The
