The Rice Lake SCT-40 Signal Conditioning Transmitter is a compact and powerful digital weight transmitter built for advanced industrial weighing systems. Designed to handle up to eight independent load cell channels, it provides reliable and accurate signal conversion for demanding applications.
The SCT-40 is engineered for versatility. Operators can view detailed weight data, configuration settings, calibration status, and error conditions on the high-visibility backlit LCD screen. Communication is seamless with support for RS-232, RS-485, and optional DeviceNet™, Profibus™, EtherNet/IP™, PROFINET, and Modbus TCP protocols.
This DIN-rail mountable unit is ideal for control panels and cabinet integrations, with full analog output support in the SCT-40AN version, offering output signals like 0–20 mA, 4–20 mA, 0–5 VDC, and 0–10 VDC. It features real, theoretical, and linearity-based calibration, as well as preset and push-button tare options for added flexibility.
Whether you're building a new weighing system or upgrading an existing one, the SCT-40 offers advanced diagnostics, efficient data communication, and rugged reliability for industrial use.
