Intelligent Junction Box improves process safety
One year after the introduction many users appreciate the advantages of ”smart junction box”. After the electrical connection of the load cells the individual load cell signals can be accessed at your fingertips. In case of uneven load deviation, the intelligent junction box helps to correct uneven loading by shimming the footplate of the silo leg.
The junction box monitors the function of all cells during operation. Error messages and weight signals are transmitted via the internal CAN- bus to the evaluation and display unit. The critera of the error can be individually adapted by the user.
The operator can specify a message for uneven load deviation due to worse foundation. Individually, the user may specify that an alarm is triggered for example at 30% load difference between the legs. To support the fault diagnosis, each alarm can be stored and / or transmitted to the main electronic. After reading out the error (for example cable break load cell 2) the message can be reset at the “junction box” or the main electronic.
In addition, Hense Wägetechnik offers the opportunity to transfer all silo data and processes to a Web server to provide access via smart phone or tablet or automated material orders.
