Micro balance AND AD-4408A

Micro balance AND AD-4408A

The Micro balance AND AD-4408A is a high-speed, high-accuracy digital weighing indicator designed specifically for industrial automation environments, particularly those involving strong vibrations and harsh operating conditions. Integrating Anybus® CompactCom (by HMS Industrial Networks), it supports a wide range of fieldbus protocols, enabling seamless communication with Profibus, Modbus-RTU, DeviceNet, and more.

Engineered for embedded control panels, the AD-4408A features powerful digital filtering, 100 Hz sampling, and robust electromagnetic shielding, making it ideal for automated systems, filling/batching, and dynamic weighing applications.

Key Features

• Anybus® CompactCom Fieldbus Integration – Compatible with leading industrial networks including:

  • Profibus (GSD file supported)

  • Modbus-RTU

  • DeviceNet

  • Ensures plug-and-play connectivity with modern PLCs and control systems.

• High-Speed Sampling – Weighing at 100 samples per second for real-time process response and feedback.

• Advanced Digital Filtering – Eliminates instability caused by vibration or shock, ideal for dynamic weighing or machines with built-in motion.

• Compact and Lightweight – Designed for control panel integration, reducing system footprint.

• Wide Zero & Span Adjustment Range – Supports a broad range of load cells and weighing setups.

• Dust and Water-Resistant Display – Ensures durability when panel-mounted, suitable for dusty or moist environments.

• Noise-Resistant Architecture – High resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI) guarantees stable performance in industrial settings.

• Flexible I/O Options – Supports various external inputs and outputs for trigger-based control, batching, or alarms.

Applications

• Automated Filling & Dispensing Lines – Fast, filtered weight feedback for controlling pumps, valves, or conveyors.

• Vibration-Prone Machinery – Excels in environments where physical instability or moving parts affect weighing accuracy.

• Fieldbus-Controlled Weighing Systems – Integrates into larger automated systems using Profibus, Modbus, or DeviceNet.

• Industrial Batching and Mixing – Enables accurate measurement and ratio control with real-time data sharing.

• Embedded Panel Installations – Ideal for OEMs building weighing functions into production equipment or workstations.
