Overview
WCL digital compression load cell: 10-50 t capacity, CanOpen/CanBus 2.0 communication, IP68 protected, daisy-chainable without a junction box.
The WCL is a digital compression load cell manufactured in 10 t to 50 t capacities at IP68 stainless and watertight protection. Its embedded ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) and communication board allow direct digital communication with the weighing indicator over CanOpen-supported CanBus 2.0; no additional mounting kit is required for vehicle weighbridge applications.
Two on-board connectors allow load cells to be daisy-chained together, eliminating the need for an external junction box; up to 32 load cells can be combined on a single line this way. This design significantly reduces wiring complexity in multi-point platform scales.

Use Cases
Technical
“The digital daisy-chain architecture reduces wiring cost in multi-point platform installations — but as the number of load cells on a single line grows, the effect of communication speed (9600/19200 Bps) on system response time should be factored into the project design.”
