Connect your Weighscale to any network!

Do you need to integrate an existing Weighscale to a new control system or doesn’t your scale support the network you have in your control system? No problem, HMS has the products your need to connect you existing equipment to any of the popular industrial networks.

Two categories of Anybus Gateways for connecting Weighscales:

Anybus Communicator - Serial to Fieldbus/Ethernet
Most weighscales have a serial port for set-up and local communication to a PC. The Anybus-Communicator connects the serial port of the scale and translates the data communication from the serial port and converts data registers in the format required for the selected fieldbus networks.

The serial communication and the data mapping is user configurable by using the software Anybus Config Tool. Read more

Anybus Serial Server
If you have a communication between a scale and a serial RS232 port of a PC or Laptop, but would like to extend this communication further away from the scale than the serial cable permits, this is the product you need! The Anybus Serial Server takes the communication from the serial port of the scale and “tunnels” the data over Ethernet. On a PC, located anywhere on the local network, or on a wide area network, you can run the same PC program as you did when you connected to the scale via a serial cable. On this PC, a software (included with the product) redirects the serial communication from the COM port of the PC to the Ethernet port of the same PC. The serial communication is then tunneled via Ethernet. The Anybus Serial server is connected to Ethernet and un-package the data from Ethernet back to the serial port of Anybus Serial Server, which is connected to the scale. Read more
