Sensing Technology

digiBOX Weighing can be freely configured with (2-4) inputs for load cells and strain gauge-based sensors and features an input impedance of 80 - 5k Ohms, which allows for parallel wiring of multiple load cells. HBK provides a range of sensors for load measurement:

  • Bending / beam load cell
  • Canister load cell
  • Compression / Tension load cell
  • Single Point load cell

The sensor inputs are synchronized sample synchronous, enabling challenging weighing measurements with a 2 kS/s sample rate and 24-bit AD conversion.     

Signal Processing

digiBOX weighing features a highly-configurable signal chain and integrated weighing algorithms for all types of weighing applications:

  • 3-stage digital filter
  • Flexible user-calibration
  • Weighing functions
  • Checkweighing algorithm
  • Filling algorithm
  • Sum channel
  • Digital corner load adjustment

IT/OT connectivity

digiBOX Weighing offers parallel IT/OT connectivity, ensuring seamless integration with a machine's PLC system while simultaneously making measurement data, calculated results and device parametrisation accessible to IT-level applications without compromising the ongoing PLC process.

This provides the IT-Level with critical process data from weighing processes, enabling new possibilities such

  • historical data storage and tracking
  • complex monitoring
  • data acquisition (miniDAQ) and analysis
  • building machine learning models
  • digital twin applications
  • Remote access and cloud integration

These capabilities are easily implemented using the integrated openDAQ™ protocol, which allows for streaming 2 kS/s sensor data and seamless integration into programming environments based on Python, C# and C++. 


digiBOX Weighing Applications

digiBOX Weighing is ideally suited for Weighing applications (general weighing applications with up to 4 independent channels)

  • Checkweigher (automatic weight capture, triggered via digital I/O or level)
  • Filler (fully configurable filler application with up to 8 digital I/Os)
  • Container scale (summation function for up to 4 channels with assistant for digital corner load adjustment)
  • Silo scales
  • Tank and hopper weighing systems
  • Portable weigh bridges
  • Pallet scales
  • Platform scales
