DeviceNet interface
KM announces the release of its DeviceNet interface for the SVS 2000, KM's full-featured weight indicator for load cells, ideal for in-process weighing and batching applications in the food, bio-pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. DeviceNet, an open industrial network for sensor and devices, provides digital communications to more sophisticated devices like the SVS 2000. KM's new SVS_2000 DeviceNet interface provides two-way, digital communications between the SVS 2000 and a DeviceNet master. The master can: Access both gross and net weights; tare the SVS 2000 for loadout applications; download setpoint and preact values and read and write calibration values and other functions for the SVS 2000. DeviceNet allows data transfers from 100 to 500 meters at a rate of 125k to 500k BPS, and can facilitate up to 63 addresses on the DeviceNet trunk cable. It allows users to transfer data fro the load cell more cleanly, simply and directly.

Linear net weigh fillers
Powell Systems has updated their line of bulk linear net weigh filling machines to handle "hard to feed" products that need to be packaged in bags or poly-lined cases of up to 60 lbs. New net weigh fillers using High-deflection vibratory drives can fill packages with product that is more difficult to feed like salad mix, sliced pepperoni, and fresh veggies. Installations of the Powell HiVol and HiDeflection fillers have produced fill rates over 16 cases per minute at certain weights. Case weights over 60 lbs. can be filled at slower speeds. Powell Systems is the leading manufacturer of filling machines for bulk packages of 5 to 60 lbs. of a variety of dry and frozen product.
