Weight transmitter PR 5230

With display and dosing function EasyFill®

Advantages

 Highprecision, reliable and fast

processing of weight values

 Convenient and efficient calibration

of the scale in under one minute

Global
  remote servicing with the
Remote Service functionality

 Integrated display for status

monitoring

Dosing
  function EasyFill® reduces
programming time

The weight transmitter PR 5230 processes weight values reliably and

highly accurately from silo and vessel scales with analogue and digital
load cells. The field housing enables direct and safe installation regardless
of the ambient conditions.

The versatile weight transmitter for fast, high-precision weight values

Reliable and fast processing of weight values The EasyFill® software, integrated as standard, for
with up to 120,000 increments. The integrated one-component dosing of fluids, powders and
display enables direct status monitoring. granules reduces programming time and enables
fast and flexible process changes.

‘Smart Calibration’ enables PC-based calibration The Remote Service functionality avoids
without weights. This efficiently reduces installation downtime in your production.
times to a minimum.
The weight transmitter for simple and versatile weight recording
The weight transmitter PR 5230 comes standard with three freely-configurable digital inputs and outputs. These
can be used with an application-specific limit function and associated values to avoid over and under filling. The
weight transmitter can be connected without any difficulty with an external WLAN adapter and used with its full
range of functions. An intrinsically safe load cell connection for operating load cells in ATEX Zone 1/21 is available
optionally without additional electricity-limiting barriers. For documentation and printing of weighing data or
defined configuration parameters, a printer can be connected directly to the transmitter.

Including EasyFill® application

EasyFill® is a basic software application for one-component dosing of fluids, powders and granules with
user‑specific configurable target value, tolerance and overshoot value. Processes can be directly controlled using
the integrated digital inputs/outputs. Control for implementing simple dosing processes efficiently and easily is
guaranteed thanks to numerous options/interfaces for integration into your production network.

All Minebea Intec devices at a glance

The ‘Indicator Browser’ enables all Minebea Intec transmitters, indicators and
process controllers in your network to be displayed on your PC. The software
tool is included with the product.
Assignment via IP address
There are flexible solutions for IP address allocation: either set manually by the operator, defined as an auto
IP directly by the weight transmitter PR 5230 or taken from the assigned DHCP server. If the IP address is not
known when allocating automatically, the Minebea Intec Indicator Browser included with the product enables you
to search for the right transmitters in the network.
