How it works
The Bin Scale System is a method of monitoring and managing on-site feed inventory either at the site or
from a remote location. It can be adapted to new or existing facilities to provide accurate, real-time data
regarding feed inventory levels and feed consumption.
The Bin Scale System is made up of the following:
• Loadcells that are installed to the bottom of the tank legs.
• Bin Scale Module .
There are two types of loadcells: the three wire (3W) and the four wire (4W). The two types use different
technologies and generate different electrical signals. To match those technologies, two models of the Bin
Scale Module are available:
• Bin Scale 3 Wires LC
• Bin Scale 4 Wires LC
A Bin Scale Module is equipped with an OLED display and should be installed onto the tank leg. The
module must be connected to an EDGE Controller and is referred to as an expansion box.
One Bin Scale Module can monitor up to eight loadcells.
