4. Weighing System Controller and Technical Characteristics
The following section describes the technical characteristics of the relevant weighing components within the
weihing terminal.
Hint: You can find the industrial PC’s technical characteristics and further important information in the operation
manual of your instrument.
The weighing system controller is executed as a PCI plug-in card according PCI specifications Rev. 2.2. It can
be used in “half-length” PCI slots (at least 155 mm long).
The device driver for the weighing system controller provides a serial port as an access point for the operating
system. The FlintWeigh II software communicates with the weighing modules and the digital load cells on the
RS485 bus system via this port.
You can find further information about the driver installation in chapter 5.

4.1. Connectors of the Weighing System Controller
Der Wägesystem-Controller stellt drei Anschlüsse zur Verfügung: Die beiden Anschlüsse J1 und J2 können für
analoge Wägezellen verwendet werden. Der Anschluß J3 ist ein kombinierter Anschluss für digitale
Wägezellen (über einen RS485-Bus) und digitale Eingabe-/Ausgabe-Signale.
