Distributed control is a design principle consisting of modular, self-contained control elements over the plant or control area. It differs from centralized control where a single controller at a central location handles all control functions. In this video, we investigate the advantages of a distributed control architecture, review an example from the weighing industry, and discuss the difference between a DCS and Distributed Control.
An introduction on how Standard Automation Interface (SAI) allows you to exchange data between METTLER TOLEDO devices and your automation system quickly and easily.
An introduction to Smart5™ alarming and how it follows NAMUR NE107 industry standard to provide clear severity levels of alarms in METTLER TOLEDO automation devices.
Learn how IND360 supports the Siemens S2 redundancy feature to maintain maximum uptime in your automation system.
IND360rateControl provides all you need to control a loss-in-weight feeding system. Connect the motor, pump, or valve to IND360 using 4–20 mA, 0–10V, or 0–5V. The IND360 manages all functions needed for setup and control, reporting runtime parameters back to your PLC, which acts as a supervisory control system.
The domain-specific, pre-programmed applications help you get started right away, eliminating the hassle of developing custom control algorithms. Applications allow optimal control of weight-based applications by moving control closer to the measurement. This allows for more efficient resource loading of the automation system to perform other non-weight-based control operations. In this distributed control architecture, the PLC serves as the supervisory control, monitoring runtime data and sending new configuration data. The IND360, with the built-in application and its local I/O, acts as a controller to simplify wiring and manage reaction times, which are crucial for applications requiring fast responses.
Review with us the information that IND360multiACM can make available from an existing tank scale system and why it is a great option for retrofits. Use MultiACM to detect disconnected load cells immediately, along with mechanical interference and overloaded load cells. Utilize Smart Factory such as OPC UA communication to truly modernize your tank weighing system at a minimal investment.

Learn how to configure and use the static mode of the IND360dynamic application to quickly capture weight values of static items placed on a scale. Use the Signal Analyzer feature to optimize the performance and minimize the time required to get accurate results.
Review with us the built-in graphical analysis tool that provides feedback on how the filter settings affect the weight signal. This includes a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis to see exactly which frequencies contribute to disturbances in the signal. Use the new notch filter setting to precisely filter low-latency disturbances and get a stable weight signal.
Review with us the built-in automatic parameter tuning (system identification), which eliminates the need for time-consuming manual controller tuning. The advanced “system identification mode” automatically identifies key system and material properties, from which a built-in mathematical model calculates appropriate control parameters.
