data in real time.
Bare rocker-pin load cells for replacement or custom weigh module configurations. Rated 7.5–50 t, IP68/IP69K sealed, OIML C3 / NTEP Class III certified.
The indicator receives continuous weight signals from belt scale load cells and calculates real-time throughput rates. The PLC uses that data to regulate belt speed, trigger diverters, and log production totals. NTEP-certified configurations support legal-for-trade billing and custody transfer applications.
In batching systems, the indicator delivers weight values to the PLC, which executes the fill sequence, opening and closing gates, sequencing material drops, and managing tolerance windows. The indicator does not run the batch logic; it provides the measurement that the PLC acts on.
High-speed automation indicators with update rates up to 480 Hz support in-motion and checkweighing applications where product moves across the scale during measurement. All control logic, including accept/reject decisions, diverter timing, and conveyor speed adjustment, runs in the PLC. Indicators supplied by Fluent are configured with Industrial Ethernet for PLC integration. On-board throughput and dynamic weighing applications are available on request but are not part of the standard configuration.
We provide the automation configuration files for all major PLC platforms: an EDS file for Rockwell and Allen-Bradley, a GSDML file for Siemens, and an ESI file for Beckhoff. These allow the PLC to discover and map the indicator as a native device on the fieldbus.
Fluent builds conveyor control panels and handles the PLC programming that interfaces with these indicators. Whether the application is a belt scale feeding throughput data to a SCADA system or an in-motion checkweigher triggering a pneumatic diverter, Fluent handles the panel wiring, network configuration, PLC programming, and indicator commissioning.
Legal-for-trade indicators are available with NTEP certification for use in the United States and OIML approval for international installations, covering Class II (up to 100,000d), Class III, and Class IIIL applications. Additional certifications include UL/cUL, CE, and FCC, with regional metrology approvals available where required. For classified areas, we can supply models rated for Zone 2/22 and Division 2 environments.
The IND360 carries NTEP certification for legal-for-trade applications in the United States and OIML approval for international use, covering Class II (100,000d), Class III, and Class IIIL applications. Additional certifications include UL/cUL, CE, FCC, and China legal metrology. For installations in classified areas, the IND360 is rated for Zone 2/22 and Division 2 environments.
Fluent designs and manufactures custom conveyors for recycling, waste management, and other demanding industries. Because we build the machines these indicators mount to, we know how belt tension, idler deflection, drive speed stability, and belt tracking affect scale accuracy.
When you source weighing components through Fluent, you get selection help, installation guidance, and integration with the rest of the drivetrain from a team that works with these systems every day.
