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.

Accumass BW500 features:

 

Reliable and robust user interface

multi-field LCD display

local keypad

 

Instrumentation I/O

two remote totalizer contacts

five programmable relays

five programmable discrete inputs

two programmable isolated mA input, for PID* control

three programmable isolated mA output for rate, load, speed or PID* control

 

popular Windows

®

 and Industrial communications

two RS-232 ports

one RS-485 port

 

individual port configuration for:

Dolphin

Modbus ASCII

Modbus RTU

Printer

SmartLinx

®

 compatible

 

Controls and operation functions

load linearization

auto zero

PID* control

batch control

multispan operation

*PID control requires the optional mA I/O board.
