POWERCELL (3)
The POWERCELL interface must be used when the JAGXTREME terminal is used with a
METTLER TOLEDO load cell. The POWERCELL I/O option supports up to 24 cells (an
external power supply is needed for scales with more than 14 cells). The POWERCELL
I/O PCB can be used with the METTLER TOLEDO Hazardous Area Barrier Box. Please
contact your METTLER TOLEDO representative for more information about applications in
hazardous environments.
MMR (IDNET) (4)
The IDNET Interface Module allows you to interface a METTLER TOLEDO Multi-Range
base or lab balance with IDNET option with the JAGXTREME terminal. When utilizing this
interface, the JAGXTREME terminal acts as a “front end” for the base. Setup and
calibration of the base is identical to the procedure used by the ID family of indicators.
Scale related information is stored in the scale base as well as the JAGXTREME terminal,
allowing its access by external devices such as a PLC.
Modbus Plus (5)
The Modbus Plus interface enables the terminal to directly interface with Modbus Plus
devices such as PLCs manufactured by MODICON. The JAGXTREME terminal interface
acts as a single Modbus Plus node, which can support up to four scales, and has been
fully certified by the Modicon Test Center.
Allen-Bradley RIO (6)
This option allows the JAGXTREME terminal to exchange data with an Allen-Bradley PLC
like a remote 1771 module on the Allen-Bradley remote I/O. A direct connection to an
Allen-Bradley controller is possible via this “blue hose” connection. If the terminal has
two or more scales installed, all share the same RIO option board. If multiple terminals
are combined in a “cluster” using Ethernet, up to four scales can share the RIO option.
Each scale requires one-quarter rack of RIO address space. JAGXTREME terminals
support quarter rack addressing.
JAGXTREME terminals support discrete and block transfer modes of data interface. Both
are bi-directional. Discrete mode is used for data, status, and command exchange.
Block transfer allows more extensive data exchange and allows the PLC to write
messages to the terminal’s lower alphanumeric display. Connection to the RIO option is
made via a detachable three-position terminal strip on the rear of the RIO option.
Multifunction I/O (7)
The Multifunction PCB option expands the number of serial and discrete input and output
ports supported by the JAGXTREME terminal. The Multifunction PCB adds two serial
ports. COM3 can be used for RS-232 communications. COM4 can be used for RS-232
or RS-422/RS-485 communications. COM4 can be used for a single DigiTOL or
UltraRes understructure interface. The Multifunction PCB adds eight programmable
discrete inputs (PAR 3). Eight programmable discrete outputs (PAR 4). PAR 3 and PAR
4 assignments are user-configurable.
Dual Channel Analog Output (8)
The Analog Output Module provides two channels of analog output, one for each of up
to two scales connected to the terminal. The channels may be selected to provide either
a 0 to 10 V or a 4 to 20 mA analog output signal. The output is the result of a 16-bit
digital to analog conversion.
