Rice Lake Weighing Systems 880 Performance Series digital weight indicator

Rice Lake Weighing Systems’ 880 Performance Series compact panel-mount indicator can be used as a stand-alone controller, or connected with a range of networking protocols and PLCs. The onboard Ethernet TCP/IP supports two simultaneous connections, one as a server and the other as a client for either streamed or polled data. The expanded communication capabilities of the device allow users to configure, calibrate and update firmware through the built-in USB or serial port.

The device also features over 20 time- and weight-based set points, standard RS232/RS485 and Ethernet TCP/IP ports, and up to five option cards can be added for expanded communication protocols. The 880 also offers filter settings for light, medium and heavy noise to ensure that the output displays are fast and stable.

For maximum flexibility there are option slots available for EtherNet/IP, ProfiNet, ModBus TCP, DeviceNet, Profibus DP, analog output and 4-channel relay.

The company says the panel mount indicator gives users function, adaptability and expansive communication possibilities.
