Manufacture
Scale Head: |
NO. We
do not use manufacture load bars, but do make the scale head weigh
cells and weigh indicators. |

Weigh Bars: |
We have
developed interface solutions for all commercially available weigh
bars and load cells that we have encountered. |
|
|
Hardware
Required to Enable: |
Many
combinations of scale heads, load cell/weigh bars, and PC or
handheld databases exist, and at this stage of market development,
each usually requires a unique solution. Costs are quoted for
integration of each system as they are encountered. No
standard cost currently exists except for complete Osborne
pre-engineered systems. |

|
Power: |
Power
is typically supplied by a 24 VAC, 1 amp, AC/DC wall cube.
Battery power is also possible, i.e. with solar power trickle
recharging |

Features: |
A wide
range of functionality can be provided with our IFC (Intelligent
Function Controller) which includes reading RFID inputs from two
antennas, two load cells for weighing, and up to four on/off or
proximity switch inputs. * The IFC can also store data
and activate up to four functional outputs to controlled devices,
based on programmed instructions, RFID reads, load cell outputs, and
any of its four signal inputs. * The IFC is protected
from high voltage by Osborne-designed protective devices that are
very effective at shielding the equipment and data from lightning. *
The IFC also has two communication channels, RS232 and RS485. *
Power requirements are 24 VDC, which can be supplied by batteries or
an Osborne-engineered AC/DC power supply. * The IFC is a
full-featured reader with “work-horse” capabilities which can be
custom configured to fully utilize identification for management
purposes as well as data capture. Its high reliability has
been shown in continuous duty in many livestock applications for
over five years. |

Purchase: |
Our
RFID-enabled equipment is available through a wide range of Osborne
dealers throughout North America, Europe and Asia, and from
inventory by direct contact with Osborne Customer Service at
1-800-255-0316. * Many scaling systems are custom designed to
match the needs and geometry of use for specific customer
applications, often using pre-owned parts of the system. These
custom-engineered systems are ordered by direct arrangement with
Osborne Customer Service at 1-800-255-0316 and Osborne Engineering. |
