Ethernet/USB/COM3 Option

The Ethernet port can be used for FTP transfer of tare and target tables and
complete setup files. It also provides a TCP/IP port to transmit a demand template,
continuous data, for backup and restore of the terminal's configuration using the

METTLER TOLEDO InSite SL program, for direct access to data via a shared data
server, and to send email alerts when calibration expires or fails.
COM3 supports an RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 connection at communication
rates from 300 to 115.2k baud.
The USB port provides a USB host that supports an external QWERTY keyboard.
Keyboard languages supported are English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
The new USB option can also be used to upgrade terminal firmware, perform a
save/restore of the terminal's configuration, or save/transfer terminal files to a PC.
Use of the Ethernet/USB/Serial option board requires version 4.xx firmware or
higher.

PLC Interfaces

The IND560 PLC interface options include Analog Output, A-B RIO, DeviceNet,
PROFIBUS DP, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP. Additional details about each of these
interfaces can be found in the IND560 PLC Interface Manual, provided on the
documentation CD.

Analog Output

Analog Output refers to the representation of an internal system variable using a
proportional electrical signal. Analog Output can be used to transmit a measured
value, such as the gross or net weight.
Both 0-10 volt DC and 4-20 mA signals are provided. Only one signal can be
used at a time.
A-B RIO
The A-B RIO option enables data exchange by bi-directional communications using
the Discrete Data Transfer or Block Transfer mode. The IND560 Terminal initiates a
communication exchange with the PLC approximately 20 times per second
utilizing the Allen-Bradley Discrete Data Transfer protocol. This communication is a
high-speed, real-time message interface between the IND560 Terminal and the
PLC for process control. Division, integer, and floating point values are supported.
The IND560 A-B RIO interface also supports Block Transfer mode for transmission
of larger amounts of data.
DeviceNet
DeviceNet is an RS-485 based network utilizing CAN chip technology. This network
was created for bit and byte-level devices. The network can be configured to run up
1-13
