Scale Types

The IND570 supports three types of scale:
1.8.1.1. Analog Load Cell Scale
The IND570 main PCB includes an analog load cell interface. The terminal can drive up to twelve
350-ohm analog load cells (eight for IND570xx). The analog load cell interface is approved by
ATEX, cFMus, and IECEx for use in the IND570xx.
1.8.1.2. IDNet
The IND570 supports an IDNet scale through a PCB interface that connects to a unique bus on the
main board. This interface supports the newer T-brick style of high-precision base through the IDNet
scale card. The port provides the +12 volts and communication required to operate this newer style
base. The interface also supports M-Cell and Point-ADC. The older PIK module and PIK-brick cells
require +32 volts and are not supported by the IND570. The IDNet scale interface is approved for
use in the IND570xx version with ATEX and IECEx certification.
1.8.1.3. SICSpro Scale Platform
The IND570 supports a SICSpro platform through a PCB interface that connects to a unique bus on
the main board. This interface supports the high-precision platform types through the SICSpro scale
card. The port provides the +12 volts and communication required to operate these newer style
platforms.
The IND570 SICSpro interface supports only those SICSpro platforms that include the Advanced
Setup Mode (ASM).
Table 1-2 lists SICSpro high-precision platforms that support ASM and can interface with the
IND570 and IND570xx terminals, as of December 2017. Please note that the SICSpro platform
software may need updated before successful communication will occur with the IND570. Details
on updating the platform software can be found in Chapter 5, Service and Maintenance.
