U-CON / Typical Applications/ Weigh Scales

Do you need to incorporate scale data into your automation application? Are cost, open-standards, and scalability important factors in the solution you choose? Kepware's U-CON driver can connect to your scales and serve that data to multiple applications like RSView, Intouch, iFix, LabVIEW, custom VB apps, Excel, and ODBC compliant databases like MSSQL, MySQL, and Access. U-CON easily installs on the same computer as your client application and does not require expensive hardware gateways, or availability of a PLC with expansion slots. Complete U-CON licenses have no device or tag limitiations and can connect to RS232, RS422, RS485, and TCP/IP enabled devices, so you can connect to other sensors, instruments, and devices not just your scale.
