Avery Weigh-Tronix Technical Specification E1205

E1205
advanced multi-function indicator
Description
General
This specification describes the
E1205 advanced multi-function
weight indicator, capable of
stand-alone operation, or of
integration into a larger system via
serial, FieldBus and Ethernet
interfaces.

It is a microprocessor-based
industrial weighing system with up
to 100,000 displayed increments for
analysing, displaying, storing and
transmitting gross and net weight
information.

Up to 12 analogue load cells to be

connected with the indicator
(16 with second scale).
Alternatively, up to eight Avery
Weigh-Tronix digital load cells may
be used.

This indicator can display weight

data from two scales
simultaneously. Both scales are
active and are independently
weighing at all times.
The E1205 can be matched to
almost any load cell system to
achieve optimum accuracy, stability
and repeatability.
The indicator can control its
surrounding process using fully
configurable I/O.
Alternatively, control can be
executed from a central system
using an extensive range of
available interfaces.
Configurable Features
The E1205 features a dual purpose
alpha-numeric keyboard which
allows any of the following
functions to be configured during
commissioning:
zz Sensitivity to weight signal
zz Scale capacity
zz Number of divisions and
increment size
zz Weighing Unit
zz Zero/back balance
zz Decimal marker type - point or zz User-definable serial output
