Mettler Toledo, Nänikon, Switzerland, reports that its popular IND780 weighing terminal is now available with an optional PROFINET IO® interface and most existing weighing installations using IND780 can be upgraded to PROFINET IO connectivity. This development is also expected to benefit businesses that would like to extend the lifetime of their weighing equipment when network technology has been modernised. The IND780 with the PROFINET IO interface has received a certificate from a PI test laboratory, ensuring conformance to the latest specification for PROFINET IO devices.

The IND780 provides interfaces for up to four independent measuring channels for scales or flow meters. In addition, it provides a wide range of communications interfaces, including 4-20ma output, serial, Ethernet TCP/IP, and USB.  A simple operating system with an enhanced graphical display and SmartTrac™, the IND780 improves the speed and accuracy of manual or semi-automatic operations with three display modes that relate weight status to target graphically. www.mt.com/IND780
