Avery Weigh-Tronix industrial systems engineers can custom build the E1310 to suit a specific process, including changes to the standard units of measurement, resolution and capacities and a choice of input/output options and control functions.
The E1310's large graphics display can be customised, offering over four million different configurations of weight data, text and graphics, with on-screen prompts to guide the user through the weighing sequence.
A wide variety of on-screen graphs, charts and gauges help the operator to monitor process performance quickly and easily in real-time.
An alphanumeric keypad or optional keyboard makes it easier for supervisors to change basic settings such as the softkey options and other programme parameters.
The indicator will monitor all connected scales, sensors and control devices as well as its own internal system and notify the operator of any faults via clear messages on the display.
In addition, if the indicator is connected to a fieldbus, the problem can be viewed at any access point along the network and an email sent to notify local or remote managers of the problem.
There is also an optional modem connection, which will report indicator or scale faults automatically to an Avery Weigh-Tronix technical support centre for analysis and resolution, without the time and expense of a service call out.
Tim Auger, product manager for Avery Weigh-Tronix added, "We are committed to making weight-based automation easy for our customers.
The new E1310 offers users ultimate speed and flexibility for faster weight indication, plus advanced programming capabilities not found in any other industrial indicator.
Every aspect of the indicator can be tailored to a specific application.".
