Weight Transmitter Description
The LCp-100 is a high performance weight indicator and weighing transmitter with features and options focused on the requirements of precision, high-speed process weighing applications. It is compatible with all strain gage type load cells and is designed to easily connect to any PLC, DCS, or PC based process weighing control system. Special design emphasis has been placed on simplicity, reliability, and expandability. Transmitter outputs offered include an RS-422/ 485 digital serial communication port, and 16 bit derived analog current output. Units are equipped with an expansion slot for installing a wide range of specialized digital interfaces such as DeviceNet, Profibus, AB Remote I/O, and Modbus Plus. The LCp-100 Safe-Weigh Software System encompasses over 50 years of Vishay BLH application expertise. Plug-n-Weigh quick calibration and setup procedures save time, money, and even field service calls. On-line diagnostics continuously monitor weigh system performance and alert service personnel to potential problems, before they happen.

WHY DO WE CALL THE LCp-100 AN EXPERT?
Plug-n-Weigh Technology
Plug-n-Weigh technology minimizes start-up time while significantly reducing the operator learning curve. Intuitive configuration menus, self-configuration of many set-up parameters, and simple push-button type digital calibration combine together to make the LCp100 easy to install and operate.
Safe-Weigh Software System
Safe-Weighing Software System advantages include Expert System Diagnostics, Dynamic Digital Filtering, and a wide range of proven DCS/PLC connectivity options. Expert System Diagnostics generate on-line preventative maintenance signals, which quickly identify potential electrical/mechanical failures. Dynamic Digital Filtering ensures stable weight data and precise, repeatable setpoint control in dynamic process environments.
Communications and Interfacing
LCp-100 instruments are designed for fast, easy interfacing with virtually any PLC or DCS system. LCp-100 instruments are the first weight transmitters available with Schneider Automation, Modbus Plus Network communication. Also, as a licensed partner in the Allen-Bradley Encompass program, Vishay BLH offers Remote l/O capability in all LCp products. Other easy digital interfaces are available for Device- Net, Siemens Profibus, Honeywell TDC 3000, GE series 90 PLC’s, and Fisher Rosemount (Provox).
For cost effective local area network applications, units may be ordered with Vishay BLH Digi-System Plus protocol for communication to a PLC or DCS via an LCp-400 Gate-Weight controller.
