5.3 Load cell communication general
information
When the integrator connects the load cells directly to the summing
block communication cable, the IND131 load cell terminal offered by
Mettler Toledo
TM
is recommended. This product can be mounted inside
the integrator’s e-box on a standard DIN rail. It can be purchased with
any of the communication protocols listed in the previous section. It
offers a seamless solution to interface with the load cells.

are routed into the cart of the vessel, and they are attached to the
summing block. The summing block is located at the back, underside
of the cart.
