Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a METTLER TOLEDO® IND110 Signal Converter.
This chapter covers
The IND110 is a high-performance Signal Converter that provides a direct
• Model Identification Interface to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and other control
• Physical Dimensions equipment.
• Specifications The IND110 Signal Converter provides an accurate and economical way to
convert an analog strain gauge load cell(s) signal to a standard analog
process signal. This conversion is accomplished by conditioning the
analog input, converting it to a digital signal, normalizing and filtering it,
and then converting it back to an analog 4/20 mA signal. This signal is
then typically sent to a remote analog input such as a PLC.
In addition to the 4/20 mA output signal, two discrete setpoint outputs are
provided for high- and low-level signaling.
The IND110 is self contained in a plastic housing for installation onto a

35-mm DIN rail. Optionally, the IND110 is installed in either a stainless
steeI harsh enclosure when environmental protection is required, or in a
cast aluminum explosion-proof enclosure when used in hazardous areas.
Model Identification
METTLER TOLEDO offers one standard plastic housing model of the IND110 Signal
Converter. The IND110 is not suitable for mounting in a harsh environment without

Load Cell Connections

Up to four 350-ohm full-bridge strain gauges can be connected to the IND110 Signal
Converter in parallel. The excitation voltage supplied by the IND110 is 10 VDC with a
maximum source current of 120 mA.
Load cell connections must be made with shielded cable as shown in Figure 2-1.
Note that the IND110 SHIELD terminal is electrically connected to the IND110 circuit
and 24 VDC common. METTLER TOLEDO recommends an isolated 24 VDC source
to prevent stray ground loop currents from affecting load cell signal integrity. The
load cell cable shield should not be externally connected to any grounds and must
remain floating at the load cell end.
2-1
Figure 2-1: Load Cell Connections
Load Cell Selection

Before any load cells are connected, determine if the intended load cells will work
correctly using the following steps:
1. Determine
A. Full scale system capacity
For example: System span is 0–10,000 lb
10,000 is the capacity
B. Capacity of each load cell (check nameplate rating)
C. Output rating of each load cell in mV/V (check nameplate)
D. Bridge resistance of each load cell (check nameplate)
2. Calculate
A. Parallel resistance of load cells by dividing bridge resistance by the
number of cells
For example: 350 ohms/cell = 87.5 ohms
4 cells
87 ohms is the lowest resistance allowed
2-2
B. Full scale load cell signal output as

mV = (system capacity) x (single cell output rating) x (excitation voltage)
(single load cell capacity) x (number of cells)
For example:
weighing range = 10,000 pounds
Single cell output rating = 2 mV/V
Single cell capacity = 5,000 pounds
Number of cells = 4
Excitation voltage = 10
mV10,000
= lb x 2 mV/V x 10 v 200,000
= = 10 mV
5,000 lb x 4 cells 20,000
The minimum full scale signal is 2 mV, so 10 mV is acceptable.
Another way to approximate the signal is to allow no less than 10% of

the load cell capacity for span. In the above example, 10% of four 5,000
lb cells is equal to 2,000 lb. The above example weighing range is
10,000 lb, which is five times the 2,000 lb minimum acceptable weight
and is acceptable.
Mounting the Module

The stainless-steel harsh enclosure has two plastic cord bushings that enable cables
to pass into the enclosure. The plugged openings are provided for wiring flexibility, if
needed. The installer must provide any additional fittings to meet local codes.
To mount the module, snap it onto the DIN rail located inside the enclosure while
retracting the plastic module tab with a screwdriver as shown in Figure 2-2.

Figure 2-3: Module Mounted on DIN Rail
Analog Output 4/20 mA Connections

The output signal provided by the IND110 is a standard 4/20 mA signal commonly
used for many industrial process control and PLC applications. Since this signal is
analog in nature, it must be well shielded, properly grounded, and protected from
higher voltage signals. Do NOT route the signal cable along side power wiring.
Proper grounding is important. The IND110 connects the load cell shield, power
supply common, and 4/20 mA common lines together. As a result, connect only one
of these points to an earth ground.
Many process control instruments are connected by 4/20 mA common to earth

internally, which for this system would require it to remain floating without a ground
connection. Test for process control equipment ground continuity before wiring is
completed. If the process control equipment is not grounded, connect the IND110 at
the load cell shield terminal to earth ground. If the process control equipment is
connected to ground, be sure the IND110 wiring is NOT grounded.
The 4/20 mA current loop external wiring should be a two conductor #20 AWG
(0.51 mm2 minimum) shielded cable. Use Belden #8759 or equal and connect as
shown in Figure 2-4.
2-4
Figure 2-4: Analog Output Connections
Power Supply Wiring

The IND110 is provided with 20–28 VDC power input terminals. The user must
provide a Class 2-rated 24 VDC power supply. (A Class 2 power supply is voltage-
and current-limited so short-circuit conditions do not become dangerous).
WARNING
MODULE. THE IND110 MODULE IS UL APPROVED FOR USE WITH A CLASS
2 POWER SUPPLY ONLY. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE ANOTHER TYPE OF POWER
SUPPLY. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS PRECAUTION COULD RESULT IN
Select a power supply with an isolated output. An isolated output is important

because the 24 VDC common, load cell shield, setpoint common, and the 4/20 mA
common are internally connected together. These common wires must be grounded
to earth—but at only ONE point. For best results, ground the load cell shield
terminal. Any of the other wires can serve as an alternate single ground connection;
however, there must remain one and only one connection to earth.
Figure 2-5 shows proper power supply wiring.
2-5
Figure 2-5: Power Supply Wiring
Setpoint Output Connections

The IND110 has two open collector transistor outputs. The LO output is turned ON
when the load cell signal is below the LO setpoint and turned OFF (open collector
state) when it is equal to or above the LO setpoint. The HI output is turned ON when
the terminal or other PLC device signal is below the HI setpoint and turned OFF (open
collector state) when it is equal to or above the HI setpoint.
Each transistor can sink 60 mA (drive a load rated at 60 mA or less). The load must
be connected to an ungrounded voltage of 24 VDC or less.
CAUTION
(OPTO ISOLATOR OR EQUAL). FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS PRECAUTION WILL RESULT IN
Suppress all inductive loads with appropriate suppression device(s) directly at the
load. The typical illustration in Figure 2-6 shows an R-C type of suppression device
across each solenoid. If the load is driven directly from the IND110, diodes are
commonly employed as suppressors.

While installing the IND110 Signal Converter in a hazardous location is

similar to installing it in a nonhazardous location, there are some
important differences. These differences are shown in bold in this
chapter.

Mounting the Module

The explosion-proof enclosure and IND110 assembly has only two tapped
three-quarter-inch NPT holes. Sealed explosion-proof fittings are required to
complete the installation. The installer must provide these fittings and ensure
that they are properly installed and sealed according to national and local codes
prior to use.
WARNING
WHEN INSTALLING THE EXPLOSION-PROOF ASSEMBLY, SEALED
EXPLOSION-PROOF FITTINGS ARE REQUIRED. THE INSTALLER MUST ENSURE
THAT THE FITTINGS ARE SEALED ACCORDING TO NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODE
REQUIREMENTS FOR HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS.
To mount the IND110 module, snap the module onto the DIN rail while retracting the
plastic module tab with a screwdriver as shown in Figure 3-3.

Figure 3-3: Retracting the Module Tab

Figures 3-4 and 3-5 illustrate module installation into the explosion-proof
enclosure. Because of space limitations, snap the module onto the DIN rail first
and then install into the enclosure as follows:
1. Install the M6 screws loosely into the predrilled holes in the enclosure
as shown in Figure 3-4.
2. Place the module and rail onto the screws. Slide the rail slot onto one
screw and then center the module between the two screws.
3. Position the rail as shown in Figure 3-5 and tighten the screw.
4. Center the module and tighten the other screw to complete the
installation.

The IND110 has two open collector transistor outputs. The LO output is turned ON
when the load cell signal is below the LO setpoint and turned OFF (open collector
state) when it is equal to or above the LO setpoint. The HI output is turned ON when
the terminal or other PLC device signal is below the HI setpoint and turned OFF (open
collector state) when it is equal to or above the HI setpoint.
Each transistor can sink 60 mA (drive a load rated at 60 mA or less). The load must
be connected to an ungrounded voltage of 24 VDC or less.

DIP Switch Functions

Perform calibration procedures using the DIP calibration switches located on the
front of the IND110 module. Figure 4-1 and Table 4-1 provide information about
calibration switch locations, functions, and setup.
WARNING!
BEFORE CONNECTING THE IND110 TO A PLC OR OTHER SECONDARY CONTROL DEVICE THE
UNIT MUST BE FIELD CALIBRATED. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN INCORRECT
OPERATION AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Calibration Procedures
Use DIP calibration switches 1–4 and the SET (4), INC (+), and DEC (–) keys to
implement calibration procedures. For normal weighing, all of the DIP calibration
switches are OFF. For calibration, switches 1–4 are switched ON as required to
calibrate
• Sw 1 ON = Weigh mode zero

• Sw 2 ON = Weigh mode span
• Sw 3 ON = LO setpoint cutoff
• Sw 4 ON = HI setpoint cutoff
Set Weigh Mode Zero

To set the weigh mode zero
1. Unload the scale.

2. Set DIP switch 1 to ON (all other switches OFF). HI LED will flash (coarse
setting).
3. With a calibration current meter connected to the output, use the INC (+)
and DEC (–) keys to adjust output current to the desired zero load value
(typically 4 mA).
4. If fine adjustment is required, press the SET (4) key until LO LED flashes.
Use the INC (+) and DEC (–) keys for fine adjustment.
5. When the correct zero value is obtained, return DIP switch 1 to the OFF
position. The zero load current output is stored.
Set Weigh Mode Span

To set the weigh mode span
1. Load the scale with the maximum load weight corresponding to the
desired current output (typically 20 mA).
2. Set DIP switch 2 to ON (all other switches OFF). HI LED will flash (coarse
setting).
3. Use the INC (+) and DEC (–) keys to adjust output current to the desired
full load value (typically 20 mA).
5. When the correct span value is obtained, return DIP switch 2 to the OFF
position. The full load current output is stored.
4-3
Calibration can be accomplished with a value less than full load weight. Simply
calculate the current output value needed to represent the load applied and adjust
current output for that value. Keep in mind that the lower the value, the lower the
setting accuracy obtained. Always try to use the highest calibration weight possible.
IMPORTANT
When calibrating for the high span value (typically 20 mA), the initial current could
possibly be above 20 mA. When the output current is approximately 24 mA, it will
remain at that level until the span is brought down within range. If the output
seems like it is not changing while holding the DEC (–) key, it is because the
current is too far above range. Hold the button until it comes within range.
Reducing the load cell load until the output is below 20 mA will make it easier to
see the span decrease.
Set HI Setpoint Cutoff Value

To set the HI setpoint cutoff value
1. Load the scale with a value equal to the desired HI setpoint cutoff point
and note the 4/20 mA current output reading.
Alternatively, calculate the output current at the desired load cutoff point.
Note the output current value.
2. Turn DIP switch 3 to ON (all other switches OFF). HI LED will flash.
3. Use the INC (+) and DEC (–) keys to adjust the setting until the
4/20 mA output matches the noted output current value.
5. When the correct value is obtained, return DIP switch 3 to the OFF
position. The HI setpoint cutoff value is stored.
Set LO Setpoint Cutoff Value

To set the LO setpoint cutoff value follow the same steps listed under Set HI
Setpoint Cutoff Value, except use DIP switch 4 instead of DIP switch 3.
The HI setpoint must be set for the highest cutoff value. The LO setpoint value must be
lower than the HI setpoint value.
The HI and LO setpoints are not necessary for operation of the IND110. Do not
program these setpoints if they are not needed.
