PCE Silo scale PCE-SDF 30

The silo scale for container - filling level - removal - monitoring offers the possibility of ensuring the supply of a production facility effectively and reliably. The silo scale for container monitoring can not only monitor the current fill level of the container but also the continuous weight reduction. By monitoring the current fill level, the silo scale for container - fill level - removal - monitoring can prompt the machine operator to refill the container in good time. For this purpose, the silo scale for container monitoring has three passive switching contacts (potential-free contact / optocoupler outputs / OC). One switching contact of the monitoring silo scale can be used for a green traffic light, for example. This switching contact is active when the actual status of the container is OK.

If the container reaches a minimum limit / minimum load, a second switching contact can be used to switch a yellow or red traffic light to prompt the user to top up. The traffic lights are not included in the scope of delivery, but can be ordered as an option for the silo scale for container monitoring. The second monitoring option of the silo scale is continuous weight decrease. This function can monitor the filling processes of the machines and report any irregularities in the material removal. A weight reduction per time unit can be stored in the silo scale for container - filling level - removal - monitoring. For example, g / min, kg / min, g / hour, kg / hour. In the event of deviations in material removal, the silo scale for container monitoring switches a switching contact that can be used, for example, to trigger a siren / traffic light or to switch off the machine.

The aim of this monitoring is to prevent production machines from running empty, e.g. due to a blocked removal screw, and thus to significantly reduce downtimes and reworking times. An external switching contact enables the monitoring function of the silo scale for container monitoring to be interrupted so that the faults in the container can be rectified in peace. In addition to the various interfaces, accessories for the silo scale for container monitoring include, for example, a display that can be installed in a control cabinet. We also offer warning lights and a GSM modem, which can inform the operator about the status of the container via SMS.
