1.1. System Configuration and Configuration Devices
This section describes the system configuration and configuration devices used in this Guide.
The system configuration is shown below. This system is a scaling system where a measured
material is placed onto the scale to measure its weight.
The load cell output, which is obtained from the data inputted to the Load Cell Input Unit, is
converted into the weight value to measure the weight of the measured material. The weight
value converted by the Load Cell Input Unit is sent to a CPU Unit and displayed on the
Programmable Terminal.

Refer to the NJ/NX-series Sysmac Library User’s Manual for Weighing Control Library
(Cat. No. W569) for examples of use in other weighing systems.
This Guide’s examples assume the specifications of the used load cell as follows.
6-wire type or 4-wire type
This Guide’s examples assume the weights of the scale and the measured material as
follows.
