Manifold Type - Scale

Select Scale as the Measurement Component Type for a Manifold Type Custom Input — typically for a Repacking Station using a pallet scale.

• Additional Scale Head: Set whether an external head powers the load cells. If not, Mixmate provides the power. Note: Physical wiring differs for each.

• Inductor Module: Scan or enter the module that reads the load cells.

• Calibration Factor: The scale's calibration factor, in counts per kilogram.

• Scale Reaction Speed: Adjusts for environmental noise (3-Med Vibration is standard).

• ADC Gain: Sets signal amplification (8–128). This is a balancing act: you want the highest gain that still lets the scale read its full rated capacity — set it too high and the scale can't reach full capacity, but too low sacrifices the resolution needed to accurately measure product. If you change this, you must update the Calibration Factor.

• Scale Division Kilograms: The smallest increment (in kilograms) the scale can register.

• Capacity and Unit Of Measurement: The scale's rated capacity and its unit.

The manifold's Rinse Valve and Throttle Valve and Add Inputs sections still appear below, regardless of which measurement device is chosen.
