The high speed F159 weighing controller is designed to provide efficient
production control functions in a wide variety of process weighing applications.
The F159 directly plugs into the state-of-the-art Omron CJ1 series PLC.
This direct connectivity shortens the system development time when
implementing a process weighing system by simplifying the setup of the
operation, reducing wiring and interfacing cables, drastically reducing the cost of
systems' configuration and programming time for the systems integrator and
designers.
The slim F159 combines with the CJ1 to provide an excellent solution for
process weighing systems. This combination aids in the downsizing of the
controlling installation site. Since the F159 possesses weighing information at a
rate of 500 times per second, this high data processing speed allows for
additional internal measurements, of smaller fluctuations of the weight, at a
higher resolution, which increases the productivity of the weighing system.
The applications for the F159 weigh module includes: Hopper scales, Packing
scales, Bag filling systems, Rotary filling systems and many other weight based
control systems. The F159 can excite up to four (4) 350 ohm load cells while still
providing up to 1/40,000 division resolution.
The F159 stores all the weighing system set up values and the complete feeding /
discharge / weighing control sequence internal to itself, significantly reducing
the burden imposed on the CJ1. This synergy between the PLC and weighing
instrumentation improves system speed and reduces system configuration times.
Functions already programmed into the F159 include: Auto free fall
compensation; Fast-Slow-Dribble filling, Final, High/Low, Tare, and Zero
Tracking functions. Powerful analog filters and selectable moving average
digital filters are used to eliminate the mechanical vibration to achieve the higher
weighing accuracy.
Low development costs, quick system interfacing, high speed and accuracy, and
reduced PLC overhead, all combine to make the F159 weight controller a best
buy choice for your most demanding weight based process control applications.
