Please contact us to receive an individual quotation. We are looking forward to receiving your enquiry.
-
It depends on the impedance of the load cells. The resistance has to be >35 Ohm. Means you can connect up to 9x 350 Ohm load cells like our PWS or up to 120x 4450 Ohm load cells like our RTN series.
-
Currently CONiQ® Control supports only one load cell channel.
-
100 ... 240 VAC (-15%, +10%) or 24 VDC (-7%, +12%)
-
-30 ... 50 °C
-
In case of panel mounting the front reaches IP65. The plastic enclosure has IP54 protection and the steinless steel housing will also reach IP65.
-
Later there will be an edition without display that can be mounted either in a field housing in the field close to the scale or on DIN rail inside the contol cubicle (similar to DISOCONT® Tersus). Additionally there will be suitable displays as operator panels.
-
Not yet. If we see the necessity we would implement such a functionality.
-
At the moment CONiQ® Control can be used for hopper scales (filling level measurement), crane scales, truck scales and cargo scales. In the first Step CONiQ® Control replaces DISOMAT® Opus. Loss-in-weight feeder, belt scales, weighfeeders and further applications will follow within the next years to replace the DISOMAT, DISOBOX, INTECONT and DISOCONT families step by step.
-
Yes, CONiQ® Control is approved as a non-automatic weighing instrument for legal-for-trade scales (class III) with up to 6000 digits. The approval is valid in Europe. US approval (NTEP) is on the way.
-
Yes, but the controller needs to be installed in safe (non-hazardous) area. An edition for mounting in ATEX area 3D (Zone 22) is planned.
-
Not yet. These features will be released in summer 2021
-
No, CONiQ® Control is not designed to be a second display or operator panel for other controller types. There will be a multi-channel version of CONiQ® Control (Successor DISOBOX® Plus) later - also with remote display.
-
We support at present:
- Profibus
- ProfiNet
- Ethernet/IP
- MODBUS-TCP
- MODBUS-RTU
- Devicenet
For more details we refer to the datasheet.
-
OPC-UA is currently in the development team. We plan to have a test implementation end of Q1/2021.
-
No. You can also connect via cable but a wireless connection via WIFI-module is often more comfortable.
-
CONiQ® Control creates an own WIFI-network for end-to-end connection. You do not need access to the customer's network.
-
CONiQ® Control has 4 slots for I/O-modules and one for field bus connectivity. One I/O-slot is required for the load cell channel card. Besides the fieldbus slot remain 3 slots for I/O's. The total amount of I/O's depends on the configuration. You can have up to 9 AO and 6 AI or 18 DI and 12 DOs - but not at the same time.
-
The logical functions which is available as an in- or output depend on the activated weighing application. The physical assignment of the available signals to the existing I/O's can be configured individually.
-
We are working on an integrated Soft-PLC. This will allow you to write your own IEC 61131 control SW. Feature is planned for release middle of 2021
-
Not yet. If you have such a requirement please contact us and we will evaluate what is possible.
-
Not yet. Responsive design for bigger screens is planned.
-
Not at present. We support e.g. kyrillic and other European layouts, chinese is planned - arabic at present not.
-
You do not need a specific software to configure CONiQ® Control. You just need one of the common browsers on the device which is connected with the controller. Please note that we do not support Internet Explorer.
-
Yes. We recommend to use a phone with operating system Android or iOS.
-
CONiQ® Control can also be used in combination with DISOVIEW X und DISOSAVE X. So a PC-Software does already exist.
-
As soon as you enter the parameter in the system.
-
Theoretically unlimited - there will certainly be limitations due to performance but we have not seen them so far.
-
As long as the weight is not registered, you can move back in the weighing sequence.
