About the Accumass BW500
Note:
The ACCUMASS BW500 is to be used only in the manner outlined in this
instruction manual.
The ACCUMASS BW500 is a microprocessor based integrator designed for use with
Milltronics, or equivalent belt scales and weigh feeders. The speed and load signals
from the conveyor and scale, respectively, are processed to derive rate of material
flow, and totalization. The primary values of speed and load, and the derived values
of rate and total are available for display on the local LCD, or as output in the form of
analog mA, alarm relay and remote totalization.
BW500 supports Milltronics Dolphin Plus software and Modbus protocol on the two
RS-232 ports and the RS-485 port for communication to customer PLC or computer.
BW500 also supports Milltronics SmartLinx
®
for communication with popular
industrial communication systems.
