gauge "load cell" to a numeric weight.
• Signal Processing - filters electrical and mechanical noise from the load cell
signal using electronic circuits and digital filtering.
• Basic Weighing - push button zero, tare functions (push button and keyboard
tare), display of gross or net weight and scale status, and transmission of
weight data to a printer and a computer.
• Additional Functions - trip level event monitor, programmable "Scale Basic”
functions, TTL level ‘setpoint’ inputs and outputs, and remote control via TTL
inputs or RS232 serial input.
The IDS 430/433's stainless-steel enclosure is designed for industrial
environments and can be used in wash down applications.
The IDS 430/433 has two bi-directional serial communication ports that are used
