X3
Ideal for weighing and dosing processes
Product details Weight indicator X3
Flexible and diverse for individual configurations: The weight indicator X3 is fitted with three freely configurable digital inputs and outputs as standard. These can be used with an application-specific limit function and associated values to avoid over and under filling. The weight indicator also has option slots for interfaces and input/output cards. EasyFill for one-component dosing of liquids, powders and granules reduces programming time in the PLC, enabling fast and flexible process changes.

Product enhancements
Including EasyFill application
EasyFill is a basic software application for one-component dosing of fluids, powders and granules with user-specific configurable target value, tolerance and overshoot value. Processes can be directly controlled using the integrated digital inputs/outputs. Control for implementing simple dosing processes efficiently and easily is guaranteed thanks to numerous options/interfaces for integration into your production network.
Assignment via IP address
There are flexible solutions for IP address allocation: it is either set manually by the operator, defined as an auto IP directly by the weight indicator X3 or taken from the assigned DHCP server. If the IP address is not known when allocating automatically, the Minebea Intec Indicator Browser included with the product enables you to search for the right transmitters in the network.
Simple online operation
Using an integrated website, users have access to a wide range of weighing process functions using the weight indicator X3:
- Display the website integrated with the device using the IP address in your browser
- Display and change device configuration
- Calibration of a device using a range of methods
- with load cell data (‘smart calibration’)
- with weights
- with mv/V
- View and print the overall configuration
- Display weight on the PC screen
- View and readout of Alibi memory and readout of fault memory
- Store/download a device configuration as PC file
Versatile interfaces
To guarantee integration into existing control systems:
- Standard: Ethernet TCP/IP interface with integrated Modbus TCP protocol
- Optional: Field bus interfaces Profibus DP, Profinet, DeviceNet or Ethernet/IP
OPC server included – for connection to higher-level systems.
Calibration via PC in under a minute
The integrated functionality ‘Smart Calibration′ allows efficient calibration of the silo and hopper scale via PC. Weights are not required for this.
