Penko Engineering, Ede, the Netherlands, has developed the SIGMA4 ‘intelligent’ load cell cable junction box which has been designed to ascertain if load cells are functioning properly. Furthermore, the system automatically adjusts the calibration when a load cell or the weighing indicator has been changed. In this way a faulty load cell can immediately be identified and its degree of deviation can be measured.

 

This module supports TEDS (transducer electronic data sheet), which means the individual information of the sensors is available and can be compared. This facilitates automatic re-adjustment. As a bonus, the instrument stores all calibration data, optionally in the PC program Pi. The SIGMA4 is compatible with the latest PENKO weighing instruments. It is suitable for one up to four load cells. www.penko.com
