Description
WeighPoint® Integrator
Thayer Scale’s newest range of instrumentation, WeighPoint®, combines Thayer Scale’s historical expertise in continuous weighing with the latest technology, connectivity, advanced algorithms and functions. The new generation, WeighPoint®instrumentation system transforms weight and flow rate measurement and control into real-time operational intelligence.
The WeighPoint® Integrator is a dual-processor, touchscreen-enabled solution designed for continuous operation in harsh environments. The panel-mountable touchscreen HMI provides an easy-to-use interface to the company’s deep library of algorithms and functions. It is the most robust conveyor and belt-weighing integrator on the market.
WeighPoint® is packed with features. Its modular design allows for flexible installation planning. It is available with a bright 8” touch-screen display providing high visibility even in harsh environments. Alternatively, the operator interface can be accessed remotely via PC or mobile device. There are a wide range of communications options, including MODBUS/TCP, Ethernet/IP and Profinet. The WeighPoint® system includes a field-mounted scale module that provides high-resolution digitizing of load and speed. Communication from the scale module to the main module is via CANBus to ensure high data fidelity. The dual-processor main unit ensures high display performance while offloading real-time control functions to a separate processor core.
The WeighPoint® integrator is designed for use with Thayer Scale’s versatile range of RF belt scales and Weigh belt feeders for optimal weighing accuracy and performance.
