1. EM100 Module
1.1. Introduction
The Electronics Module, EM100-F, is a precise amplifier with integral 24-bit sigma-delta analogue-
to-digital converter for weighing and force measurements with strain gauge sensors. The module
includes an extensive selection of standard weighing and calibration functions for accurate static or
dynamic weighing applications. Its high-speed measuring rate, advanced filters and optimised
software functions are especially useful for gravimetric filling and other dynamic processes.
The EM100-F model is an approved accuracy class III module examined under OIML R61. The
measurement module forms part of an approved (‘legal-for-trade’) weighing system. The EM100-F
can be used in ‘legal-for-trade’ and industrial applications.
The device features a CAN interface with support for the CANopen protocol as well as full-duplex
RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces. A USB interface has been included for ease of use and is only for
configuration, setup and firmware upgrade.
Communication to the module is based on ASCII characters sent to a variety of serial interfaces
making it easy to connect to a PC, PLC or other devices. Setup of the module is simple using a
terminal emulation program or FDC application software (available from Flintec.com).
