Micro balance AND AD-4408C

Micro balance AND AD-4408C

The Micro balance AND AD-4408C is a compact, high-performance digital weighing indicator built for integration into advanced industrial systems, especially where vibration, electromagnetic interference, and fieldbus communication are key considerations. Like its counterpart the AD-4408A, the AD-4408C integrates Anybus® CompactCom modules (by HMS Industrial Networks), enabling seamless connection to a variety of industrial communication protocols such as Profibus, Modbus-RTU, and DeviceNet.

With 100 samples per second, high-performance digital filtering, and broad zero/span adjustment, this model provides stable and precise weighing even in environments where mechanical vibration or electrical noise would typically degrade performance.

Key Features

• Anybus® CompactCom Integration – Supports installation of various fieldbus modules such as:

  • Profibus, Modbus-RTU, DeviceNet, and more

  • Ideal for integration with PLC-based systems and automated industrial networks

• High-Speed Sampling – 100 samples/sec enables real-time feedback for dynamic weighing and control loops.

• Advanced Vibration Filtering – Digital filtering algorithm minimizes the impact of mechanical vibration, making the unit ideal for machines with moving parts or unstable load conditions.

• Wide Zero and Span Adjustment – Supports a wide range of load cell capacities and configurations, simplifying integration with custom weighing platforms.

• Compact Panel-Mount Design – Lightweight and sized for embedded panel installation, saving space and supporting OEM integration.

• Dust & Water-Resistant Display – When installed in a panel, the display is protected against moisture and airborne particles, enhancing durability.

• High Electromagnetic Immunity – Designed for environments with electrical noise or radio interference, ensuring stable, error-free operation.

Applications

• Automated Process Weighing – Batch control, dispensing, and fill systems requiring precise weight data via fieldbus.

• Vibration-Exposed Machinery – Ensures stability where other indicators may produce fluctuating or unstable readings.

• Factory Automation & Integration – Easily connects to PLCs and SCADA systems for centralized monitoring and control.

• OEM System Builders – Ideal for embedding into custom manufacturing equipment, offering flexible communication and reliable weighing.
