Description
Designed for precision and performance, the Baykon TX4-MB Digital Weight Transmitter offers ultra-fast, reliable data for industrial process control and force measurement systems. With an 800 measurements-per-second rate, it provides swift, high-accuracy digital data through RS-232C, RS-485 as standard, and Ethernet TCP/IP interfaces, along with compatibility across fieldbus systems like Profibus, Profinet, CANopen, EtherCAT, and more. The TX4 is suitable for both static and dynamic applications and features a smart programmable filter that reduces interference from ambient vibrations, ensuring a clean, stable signal for all weight and force measurements.
The TX4’s unique integration of one fixed output and two configurable inputs or outputs allows direct control by the PLC, eliminating the need for extra I/O boards. Setup and calibration are straightforward using Xface PC software or the eCal Electronic Calibration function, which is ideal for calibrating high-capacity tanks and silos. The transmitter’s matched production enables quick and easy replacements without needing recalibration, while its DIN rail mounting facilitates convenient installation into new or existing control panels. Designed with UK grammar for clarity and accessibility, the TX4-MB is an excellent choice for seamless, high-performance integration in complex industrial environments.
