“We want a very basic indicator with minimal functions that still supports field networks.”
A&D recently released the AD-4408A in response to such user requests. The AD-4408A has no control input or output, but instead supports various types of field networks. The AD-4408A incorporates the Anybus CompactCom interface (provided by HMS Industrial Networks), which is compatible with Profibus, Modbus, and DeviceNet plug-in modules. These modules can be purchased locally by users and distributors. In addition, the AD-4408A is equipped with the High-Performance Digital Filter, which can eliminate the effects of strong vibration, realizing extremely efficient weighing for both dynamic and static applications.
