LCp-200 Weight/Rate-By-Weight Controllers are high performance indicators with features and options focused on the requirements of process weighing applications with local setpoint control. They operate with all strain gage type load cells and interface easily with any PLC, DCS, or PC based supervisory control system. Engineering emphasis has been placed on simplicity, reliability, and expandability. Standard rate-by-weight operation and output provides precision mass flow control. Eight relay outputs are available for local setpoint control, based upon set point values entered through the keypad, or downloaded serially from a host device. All relay configuration and logic parameters are selectable through the front panel keypad. Communication of weight, setpoint values, system status, and diagnostic information is accomplished using standard protocols such as ASCII and Modbus RTU, or special serial interfaces like DeviceNet, Allen-Bradley Remote l/O, Modbus Plus, and Profibus. The LCp-200 Safe-Weigh&reg, Software System encompasses over 50 years of BLH application expertise. Plug-n-Weigh&reg, quick calibration and setup procedures save time, money, and even field service calls. On-line diagnostics continuously monitor system performance and alert service personnel to potential problems before they happen.
