I need to monitor 8 load cells simultaneously. I can go on serial port but it is too slow and I will not be able to monitor weight on each
load cell fast enough.
I can go to a load cell with RS485 output but I do not know if I can talk to a PLC. My preference is a Siemens S7-300 PLC.
Is there any converter that can connect to load cell and be connected to a PLC via PROFIBUS? That way the data from each load cell be there
on the PLC bus and there would be no speed problem.
Am I right in my assertion? Any one has suggestion per my scheme or recommend another?
Thanx.
