What is this for?

The Mettler Toledo IND360 product is a product for accurate weight measurement (load cell) and allows excellent integration with our controllers (ControlLogix, CompactLogix) via Ethernet/IP. The partnership between Mettler Toledo and Rockwell Automation has allowed the development of libraries such as Add-on, Faceplates (HMI), sample codes, to make integration easy and fast. With the Application Code Manager feature (code generator and screens) it is possible to integrate, generate controller application code (Studio 5000), generate HMI screens and network configurations, reducing setup time and startup of production lines and industrial machines.

General Features

Our Device Object Libraries allow you to easily interact with Rockwell Automation® Intelligent devices, as drives, motion, network switches, sensors, IoT, and more. The libraries contain tests, documented, and lifecycle. Managed objects that can be used with the manufacturer of machines, processes, and libraries packaged or as stand-alone components. Device Objects Include HMI Faceplates para FactoryTalk® View ME/SE e Studio 5000 View Designer® software and provide a user interface that integrates seamlessly with the goods.

HMI faceplates are standard display files that provide the average user with Interface. These are HMI pop-up screens used to display detailed information related to a specific instruction or device. On systems that follow ISA 101.1 According to design guidelines, front-facing displays are often referred to as Level 4 monitors.

Preconfigured device objects include a supplemental instruction line and a HMI front panel that offers the following benefits:

  • Collect, process, and deliver data between smart devices and Application Logic
  • Detailed collection and delivery of device data
  • Improved device status and diagnostics
  • Common control interfaces that maximize device automation flexibility Selection and reuse of application code

Device objects use cases:

  • Basic device maintenance and diagnostics
  • Virtual device operations for start-up and commissioning
  • Operator and program control for machines and processes Applications

 

Advantages

Integration via Ethernet/IP allows for excellent ease of integration, reducing time and line start-up process. Use of Application Code Manager to generate controller code (Add-on) and general configurations and construction of HMI faceplates for integration.

 

Application Code Manager

Studio 5000® Application Code Manager is a tool that can be used with Device Object libraries to speed up the development of projects and machines. This volume Coding tool allows you to easily design and standardize functionalities with Reusable application code. Enable more efficient project development with reusable code libraries:

  • Quickly create and deploy projects through our app content

 

Libraries

  • Import Rockwell-sourced application content libraries for agility system development.

 

Limitations and drawbacks

Number of IND-360 devices, integrated via Ethernet/IP, depends on the limitation of CIP connections of each controller used.

 

Is this helpful for me?

Integration via Ethernet/IP allows excellent ease of integration, reducing time and start-up of lines, process and industrial machines.
