Weighing and force measurement digitised
As more industries depend on accurate weighing measurement, it is essential that analogue signals from weight and force sensors are accurately and reliably converted into digital signals.
The new SGM455 Digitizer from Penko Engineering has been specifically developed with advanced filtering techniques to provide fast and stable digital data to meet the most stringent specifications A range of communication methods - RS232, RS422 and ProfiBus - provides the versatility needed for the SGM455 to be employed in a wide range of applications and locations

Website databases update weighing and dosing
A new website provides a series of databases giving direct access to weighing and dosing system product range, services and news.
The body casing is anodised aluminium and LED indicators signal the presence of power and data transmission on whichever data bus is active.
The simple to use Penko SGM455 presents quick and reliable data to a controller, reducing set-up times and the need for costly and complex converters.
Weight and force measurements still rely on analogue input devices.
Strain gauge sensors and load cells provide an analogue signal which has to be converted into a digital signal prior to the data processing function.
The type of process for converting an analogue signal to digital data is crucial in meeting speed and accuracy specifications for weighing and force measurement systems, where accuracy of within 0.015% is expected.
