Model LCIC-WIM Load Cell Interface Card with USB/RS232/RS485
The LCIC-WIM was designed to fit the most demanding real time weighing and force measurement applications. On the one hand, it is a very fast load cell interface allows users to capture the data at around 18,000 samples per second while on the other hand, it equipped with powerful processor, 8 I/O, analog output and display that allows it to run embedded applications mainly those that required real-time and immediate response.
Can comes ready with embedded algorithm for those Applications:
- WIM - Weighing Trucks & Trains in motion. Fits HS (high speed) and LS
- LIW - Loss In Weight rate controller for continuous feeding to a process
- Batching & Filling controller - Stand alone controller for high speed net-weight fillers like sacks filling machines
- Checkweigher - Makes the board a stand-alone controller that fits most common Checkweigher including outputs for reject.
- Force measurement & Monitoring forces - Our useful monitoring utility, vital analyzing tool for all dynamic and force measurement applications.
- High speed in-motion weighing controller to weigh packages while passing over a conveyor
