July 2, 2009 - Penko Engineering created two applications to help designers choose the correct loadcell and to set up the Penko SGM455 digitizer. The Weighing Accuracy Tool is a stand-alone PC application for calculating the optimum capacity for each loadcell in an array, depending on the gross weight of the weigher (including the sample to be weighed), the individual loadcell capacity estimated and the utilization factor. The application also provides the estimated accuracy of a measurement for either certified or industrial applications, and the accuracy of the weighing indicator (calculated and rounded). The SGM 455 Configuration and Administration application is provided with a comprehensive help file to take a designer through all stages of setting up the digitizer.
With four function areas, the application provides access to edit settings of a) the various communications protocols (RS232, RS422 and Profibus), b) the digitizer’s calibration, c) the weighing parameters and d) access to save and recall all the settings within an administration environment.
