Weight Indicators

Level Control indicators complete the sensing systems. With LC indicators you can monitor from 1 to 120 vessels of level, weight or a combination thereof. The SVS™, STX™ and Weight II™ feature operator-selectable speeds and resolutions. The MVS™ is designed to custom-configure your system with off-the-shelf input and output requirements, for the right system you need today, and the ability to easily expand in the future.

Weight indicators - SVS 2000 SVS 2000

The SVS 2000 accepts input signals from half- or full-bridge strain gage load cells through a high resolution (up to 21-bit) analog-to-digital converter. Resolution and gain are adjustable for optimal system performance. Weight is displayed at the indicator and the data can be serially polled from a master device. Analog and digital outputs can be generated from the inputs to the SVS 2000 to provide auxiliary controls.

The SVS 2000 includes setpoint preact, digital interfaces and KM’s SentryTM DSP filter which provides stable, accurate readings under a variety of mixing conditions or plant vibrations. SentryTM digitally separates the vessel weight changes from the vibrations and dynamic conditions often experienced on vessels with mixers. This provides stable and accurate weight readings. Its flexibility allows you to optimize system performance so it won’t be fooled by sudden weight changes like other filter systems.

Using Quick Config, the SVS 2000 is easy to setup and calibrate without test weights or special load cells. Responses to simple Quick Config questions provides the SVS 2000 with the information needed to set up and calibrate the system for your application. Within minutes, the SVS 2000 provides usable weight information. Later, when convenient, a more accurate calibration is easily obtained by moving a known quantity of material. The SVS 2000 provides easy system configuration and expansion to meet future requirements.Optional digital interfaces include A-B Remote I/O and DeviceNet®.
